If you were popped into the real thing...

...how confident would you be? Real submariners are welcome to laugh along

Of course we'd probably drown or explode.

But... there's that bit of mostly unfounded confidence simmers seem to have when hypothesizing or actually being in the situation to experience the real thing.

Yes, rationally we know that no sim (apart from the proper military/training ones, I guess) can prepare you enough, let alone what is still just a game. No disrespect to our devs, of course, but along with the sim engine we'd need proper training protocols, requirements, theoretical knowledge, etc, etc which is out of scope of what Wolfpack is. I digress.

It would be interesting to discuss various "entry roles" so to speak - how confident would you be as a basic sailor, vs. an officer or even captain.
