That was a common accident on many U-boats
u-323 had her entire crew accidentaly fired out of the torpedo tubes (scoreing 3 hits on a escort carrier)

100% is for wimps.

Try 150%, switch your monitor off, play in foreign language and wear ear muffs.

84%. I use the Weapon Officer because I'm just to lazy to do all that math, and I like looking at my boat as it dives and other fun eye candy.

So I talk about realism a lot, but I still give in to the fun parts.

I have mine set at 96% realism. No dud torpedos. Nothing pisses me off more than when they just plunk the side of a ship and then sink to the bottom.

100% realism is not 100% realism; it is 100% as difficult as one can play the game and that will then vary with what mods and edits you use.
When you are being tracked by 1 or 2 rated escorts and in that same convoy my 3 and 4 rated escorts with twice as many destroyers will certainly be harder to evade.
If your boat can be sunk and you do not die it is hardly 100% realistic!!!
I can not fathom anything less than 100%.
Anyone that plays at 92% with the outside view and says he does not look for the attackers should know nearly everyone thinks you are a lier!!! :rotfl:
When I am at 220 meters and 2 escorts are pinging me it goes through me like knifes; almost unbearable.

I found a way to add a second instal of SH3 on my PC so I could add the new Seawolved Mediterranean add on (No, not a single stolen mod, all new stuff with many ships etc) I am advising them and beta testing and because it adds so many ships and higher res textures my old PC was too slow but I did not want to give up my original version. On this I will use the outside camera for screens but I do not play this with entensity like my "real" version.
But, talking about crew ratings since I made all of mine, everyone either a 3 or 4 and when I installed Seawolves Med, I went around the Eastern med in a 23rd Flotilla boat. I headed to Alexandria Still at 100%)for alook as to what they put in the port. I ran into 6 destroyers. Well, I am use to those "Experten Englander" crews and these poncy twits were minor leauge rated. I sank four of them and had to make my way through the wrecks out to sea. The other two lost me so I let them live!!!
There is such a difference in what escorts are rated it is night and day.
Open your RND.mis file and SCR.mis files in Campaign folder. click edit, click "find" put in CrewRating click find next and just change them all to at least 3 and welcome to my hell!!!
Not adised for Girly men that make excuses why they can't handle 100% (Whatever you enjoy is really what you should do, just kidding, Susan!!)

U-78 had just left St Nazaire at night for her third patrol in September 1943 with a PZ near Greenland so I took the short route (not usual) through DD land where my 3 and 4 rated monsters lurk.
In a driving rain I ran into one who blasted my surprised ars to 48%. I have learned that making any turn from a charging DD at zero means he rips me a new one so better to brush him and pray. I went to periscope and hoped to cath him with a spread but he came out of the mist with his turbo lit and I could not set up for the shot and caught some close by depth charges. Now I am at 31% and sweating. I pull some fighter plane tactics turning in to him rather than away and after a nice decoy caught his fancey managed to limp far enough away that he lost my sent. But, Uber DDs don't just leave and that dog sniffed around to keep me down and quiet for another 2 hours before I could finally surface. It is of the rarest thing for me to terminate a patrol but I limped my defeated but still alive buttt back to port so I could fight another day.
He might have thought he sank me but Not today, not this time!!!!
These close calls are the coolest missions and they really are much better (IMO) at 100%

I've used the external view in single scenarios just to watch how the escorts do their jobs.

Never in a campaign patrol.

And who cares what you think anyway? :P

I play on 91% realism, I only have the weapons officer assistance on. I mean, that was there job during the war, wasn't it?

Too easy try playing it when your sleeping off a hang over

[STEED]

Forgot to say I to play at 100% for many months the furthest I ever got to was Sept 1940 and yes I start at the beginning it's a whole new game on 100% if I ever get pass Sept 1940 I shall let you al know it take a hell of a lot of time and skill to do it on 100% most of the time you go straight to the bottom

What? You mean you don't play this simply to impress me and others???

Why next you will say one should play this in a manner that they enjoy and not worry about how others play it. :hmm:

Anarchy!!! :rotfl:

Whatever way makes you happy is certainly the right way to play this.
My point was just to let you know what most are saying about the; “Oh, I never peak when I am being depth charged�
Say it all you want most just chuckle and say, yeah right!!

Wulfmann

Okay Wulfmann, you want a fight, you got a fight.

I swear on me sainted mother's grave (well, so she ain't perfect, and she ain't dead yet) that I never, never EVER PEEK!

Well, hardly ever.


Well, just when nobody's lookin'.



I hate you.

[Wulfmann]

Hey, the fact is; all of saying we play at 100% is also just a claim.

Maybe some are playing at 29% and just embarrassed to admit they are "Fraulein Kaleun".

You hate me???? get in line :rotfl: I'm a Republican and in the NRA!
