What kind of subsim skipper are you?

HARDCORE SUBSIM SKIPPER

No doubt about it, you are hardcore. You are the kind of subsim player who pins up the Kriegsmarine gridmap on your wall, you use a redlamp when playing at night, your wife lets you know her mother is visiting by shouting "Alarm!" and you didn't know--or care--that Silent Hunter III has a save game feature. You cut your teeth plotting attacks in Gato, sank 28,000 tons in your first Aces of the Deep patrol, and played Dangerous Waters at 100% realism. You scoff at wannabes who whine about some niggling detail in a subsim but use the red triangle-infested auto TDC and auto-map updates. You never, ever, use anything but full realism.

Wife comes in in a sexy nitie and says anything goes and I tell her I'll raise the scope later.

I've become a big fan of Cromwell 45 shooting thanks to RR.

STRATEGIC SUBSIM SKIPPER
For you, Silent Hunter 4 is just Battleship with shiny, moving pieces. You see the big picture, you think long term, and you are indifferent to political consequences. They would not have put you in charge of a $2 billion attack sub if they didn't want you to use it. You learned that back in Red Storm Rising and you never forgot. You prefer handling large scale operations like Fleet Command and Fighting Steel. Half your time is spent setting up mind-numbingly complex battle plans, with 8 layers of contingencies. You pray for the day Sonalysts will release a ballistic missile sub. With nukes. Every day is a good day for the other side to die. Your motto is "Be my friend or be a mushroom cloud."

Hardcore subsim skipper here.
Two weeks ago after some patrols over the weekend I watched the discovery channel on tv. A ship was sailing closer and closer into harbor and I had a nasty nagging feeling. After about half a minute I realized that, subconsciously, I was trying to estimate her AOB.

Hold on.
Later I went out in my car to buy some gas and at least twice I found myself watching other cars on the road and thinking, "20degree starboard...", "60 to port...".

I need shoreleave.
