Should there be a 1x player thread?

Sure you can have your thread, I can't play that way though.

I was thinking about the having to get up and leaving the computer...perhaps a wireless keyboard is in order. Say your in the crapper and hear aircraft you can hit the C key whilst you taking a dump!!!

Anyway, GWX has in a way forced me to play 1X in some situations. Currently I'm shadowing a convoy and I do not want to TC into night time for a night time attack. I'm afraid I might lose the merchants. Therefore I'm playing 1x for the darkness to fall and make a surface attack!

when you play 1x at least when i do you dont sit at your computer the whole time ,i watch my kids make dinner clean house ext untill something happens if nothing else to do i pull a watch shift and check hydrohpones change shifts makeing a scheduel for your crew helps and when to submerge/surface and check hydrophones.1x is great for me atm b/c im on medical leave and im also doing some school stuff so i can play a game and do what i need to all at the same time , multitask ftw! i also speed throught friedly areas as nothing will happen here.

If I'm not going to be in front of the computer for the entire voyage I don't see what the point of 1x is. Playing with the kids while the computer runs is hardly more realistic than using a little time compression.
