Welcome to the forum CC. Too bad that the subject of the thread you're starting from is so sad isn't it?
P.s. Nice signature matey.

Time compression facts:
1.the noobest saying -I DONT HAVE THE TIME- duh whats the diffence if you play for 2/3 hours at 1x or 1024x-its still 2/3 hours
1.missing ships/planes/whole convoys/sound contacs/cool ass sunrise and sunsets etc.
2.This sim deserves more than zippin around in circles untill your lucky enough to ram somthin ((if tc didnt drop auto you would))
3.running into frienldly/nuetral ships -well tc didnt turn red so i'll keep goin-NOOOBISH!!!-1X YA JUST CANT TELL WHO IS WHO till ya see a flag or get shot at

I love the fact sh3 is a diffrent game at 1x not like sh2 where it really didnt matter makes this sim a true sim I feel sorry for you guys that TC your really missin it grant you the first and last 700nm of a patrol can be a total bore = but ts worth it!! there are some weather issues also with 1x but those can be ironed out-------- yes i am tryin to get more 1x skippers

How realistic do you get? Do you hit yourself about the head with a hammer when the depth charges are falling?

Surely the whole reason we fought WWII was to allow freedom of expresion and thought. Each to their own, live and let live etc.

I've got a job, a family, other hobbies (gasp!), and a drink problem to fit in to my life along with SH3 so 1xTc is no go for me.

On a related subject do you guys know of anyone who has done a TRUE 1 xTC patrol. Meaning they never turn off the computer, eat food of dwindling quality and don't wash for a month. I bet there is someone somewhere.

That's a brilliant idea for a new Big Brother show. It would be the first time for BB to be interesting....

But then you would have to team up with a mate, so you could sleep in shifts in a small bunk beside the computer.

If you do this in the summer vacation I guess it could be called a trip?

[Foghladh_mhara]

Its not a question of being elitist. The last time i checked WW2 lasted five and a half years. In 1x that FIVE AND A HALF YEARS!!!

[leeclose]

I think if i played SH3 at 1x my wife would be forced to kill me and ive been in the navy got the t shirt etc. So if it kills some time to 1024 it well so be it if you have enough time to 1x fire in i wish when i was on subs i could have hit 1024x would have made patrols go so much quicker mind you each to there own but people dont like being called noobs ive been sub simming it for over 20 years

1- I use compressed time so i can go to long range patrols with my IX boat to caribbean os U.S coast, one patrol could take one week ( i only play when i have time, usually weekend )Playing 1x time could mean a patrol for two or three months .
i like playing, not use sh3 as a screen saver.

If i want to see a Sunrise or sunset i only have to see the clock hour in the bottom of the screen.

2- My watch crew is in the bridge, so they inform me when they detect something
(tc drop) or identify targets (red icon)

3- you can detect planes running at 128 or 256

4- you can do hidrophone checks at some hours, so use the clock in the bottom of the screen again.

Noobish or expert is question of how is a convoy attack, correct tactics, use of manual tdc and plotting, and finally scorts evasion, nor about the use or not of the TC compression ,

Agreed with Hartmann absolutely.

Good if you enjoy the game, that`s what does matter.
And, by the way... Codmander, how about 1x patrol on Indian Ocean with a IXD2? The last one I`ve made lasted nearly 200 ingame days. Want to take this one with 1x too ? Frankly telling I somehow doubt it

Besides I guess not everyone is so lucky to have enough time for 1x ...

Because I can get 2-3 patrols in in those 2-3 hours, and still hit the parts I find exciting. Just becaues I feel no need to sit and stare at a PC monitor watching the wave go by (if I want that, I'll drive down to the coast) doesn't make me any less of a U-boat enthusiast... perhaps just a smarter one. (I even jacked up the TC to 2048, if you really must know)
