I get a five gallon bucket, fill it with water, mix some salt and ice into it and then sit at the computer. While the boat is surfaced, I get a scoop and splash my face with the mixture every 30-45 seconds. Realism, yea!!!!

i play in an empty steel 50 gallon drum. when i get depth-charged, i get my girlfriend to sledgehammer the drum -- gives that realistic deafening concussion sort of effect. EAX 5.0, i call it.

Last sunday I attacked a convoy with Norway, Sweden and Greek ships among the usual US an UK.
Of course I have mods. I think the stock game is a try to get the game accesible to non-hardcore players, but I also agree that they could have done both things at a time: fow newbies and experienced players..

Listen pal, if you want it any more real, find a retarded kid, steal his wheelchair, make a time machine out of it, and go back in time and serve on a REAL uboat. |

![]() Have you ever been inside a real uboat btw? The subsims do not simulate a uboat's technical systems, you just click on gauges to set depth, speed, course etc. Maybe SH9 will include this, and then we talk realism. |

There are things Realist Players forget...ultra realism isnt always fun. I remember back in Call of Duty, they made a mod where when you got shot in the arm, you would drop your gun. This was considered realistic. However, people were dropping their guns like they were covered in grease. And noobs would run around and shoot their allies in the arms, because even with FF turned off, the effect remained. They thought it was funny as hell.
An example of realism gone awry. Besides, don't go bashing SH3 if you love sub sims, there aint much else to choose from. |

![]() Anyway, your example isn't realistic. That could never happen in real life. No one would want to shoot their buddies in the arm. I think the problem probably had more to do with the fact that Call of Duty is an arcade game populated by arcade-style players. If it was populated by players who value realism I think you'd see the benefits of such a realistic feature. In my view, all arcade games are boring. Without the realism I don't see the point of playing them. A game can have all the non-stop action in the world, but if it's not mentally challenging or educational I'm just wasting my time.

Hey man, if realism floats your boat, thats cool. There is no such thing as a realistic video game, you need to lower your expectations man. Well, there is no realistic video game...besides Sonic the Hedgehod.

...and Beery would tell you to keep in mind that REAL and REALISTIC are different things. You can't have real, but you can sure have realistic.
I'm with Beery on that one; for me, realism and fun are one and the same when it comes to sims. If it's not the same for everyone... well, it's not the same for everyone. |
