An idea: A subsim GWX tonnage war!

[Ducimus]

Stabiz just proved my point there. We can't go overboard with the realism settings or few would get involved.

(small confession: I like the WO too, I use him as a backstop when i get too impatient )

[High Voltage]

Let's make it even more realistic: A two week tournament in real-time!

One Patrol. One Chance. The fate of the Motherland is in your hands.
We all take two weeks off and play one GIANT multiplayer game.

We will Eat, sleep, and dream SH3....


Well I gotta run, gonna go set up my computer in the powder room (I've already unscrewed the light bulb and replaced it with a red one), and go shopping at the discount supermarket for their oldest biscuits and moldiest bread.

See you all at BE96!!!



PS I'm in, but would prefer WO's help.

Everyone would need to use the same Uboat type of course... dead is dead... and no saving and reloading if you don't make a difficult shot.
Also... you should be able to restart the career within the given time period to try again.

I agree with Boris.
But sounds like a good idea to me count me in if the Realism does not go over 74%

I don't have Commander (and why should I need it?)

You...mean you....DON'T use SH3 Commander?

Download it and give it a try. Trust me on this. You'll soon see why you need it.

I think man targetting is a _must_ for this kind of competition. If you give me WO assistance, I can make every shot a keelbuster. I think range assistance (watch officer range estimates) is o.k., because using the stadimeter for every estimate is total hell, and even with this assistance there's still a lot of variability in the final solution.

Also, having tried my first patrol with No External Cam, I think this would be a great thing to add as a requirement. I'm converted - the atmosphere and tension created by being 'locked' in your boat is AWESOME. And, even with Ducimus' ext. cam restriction, I can still use the external cam to locate and ID (juicy) enemies, position myself for the optimal attack, and evade escorts. And, not sure if it's just me, but I just _can't_ seem to resist using it for this. Basically, ext. cam is a cheat, and even if you're an honorable player, you end up sapping it for some intel that will eventually boost tonnage and prolong life.

Sounds like a cool idea though. What kind of time window were you thinking of? Like 1 year? Jan 42- Jan 43?, or maybe Jan 43 - Jan 44 so that we have schnorkel? Also - we'd have to fix the boat right? IXC?

P.s. GWX is HYPE HYPE HYPE.

Short answer:

It may be good idea, why not try? I could take part in the competition, just for fun. BUT for me it makes sense only if all the champions will play 100% realism, much like Keelbuster posted above.

There is a constant Polish competition run by two Polish flotillas with instantly updated rankings. ALL of the players play only 100% realism. And noone complains.
