What is common to all sub simmers ?

I think we all realise that the tonnage scores don't matter to anyone else but the person racking them up. And anyway who'd believe you or care if you sunk 20,000,000,000 tons of virtual shipping?

Wow ! all I can say us wow .. there are so many points that I agree with with all of you .. The one thing that sticks to my mind is in the post above < ithink it was dogfish ,, or misha , I think what is getting all of us in the gut , so to speak is surviving a patrol , I dont know about you guys , But I have grown attached to my boat , and historicallly if the game proves correct . we are going to lose this virtual war . I belive that every virtual captian has that in the back of his mind ? so the fact of of having the most tons doesnt matter , What matters is the survival aspect of completeing a campaign and returning back for a time in port .

Yes we will never feel the anxietys of being under a real depth charge attack . But our win colum is that fact that we escaped waserbombens and we managed to sink a few tankers or frieghters .. and still survived a depth charge attack , that is a accomplishment , at least for me more than a tonnage count ! !

As everyone has said the sim without mods isnt or couldnt give you the emotions that you possibly feel when you are not ..modded !

I assume that most of sub simmers are of the older generation , I know another mentioned above that TV doesnt give him the excitement of what SH5 does Modded ,, Iam on that same page .. Who cares about tonnage ,, the crazy question in the back of my mind is .. will I survive this cruise .. I am guessing that is what on all of our minds playing this sim .. everyones comments are supreme . I am glad to be amoungest fellow subsimmers here you are all great guys with a common ground of well liked hobby !! I think thier are some ladies here as well ? good stuff !!!I AM RIGHT ?
