What do you guys do for patrols??

Gonna ask a question, then proceed based on your answer.

From all your posts/threads, I know you are new to this and greatly enthused. This is a good thing! However, about now you kinda hafta make a decision on your goals.

This forum is mainly geared towards those who take this real seriously, with the emphasis on simulation - making it as real as you can. In that vein, skills like maneuvering in and out of berths, navigating the Kiel canal, and so on become as much enjoyment as sinking ships. If this is the way you want to go, then you will get one set of advice - such as remaining in your patrol area for 30 days or so and then "radioing" BdU for another assignment. There is an app that does that. There are many, many mods that will aid in this.

If on the other hand you just want to rack up a massive tonnage rating and/or earn every available award "in game", then you will get a different set - such as where to go for the highest ranking in tonnage, and/or the places to find the most exotic kills. There are a completely different set of mods that will give you abilities or equipment that did not exist, or are enhanced versions of what they did have.

Which way do you feel is what YOU want out of SH3?

Edit: I take so long to type that Frau Kaleun got in first - AND said it better!
