What kind of subsim skipper are you?

Yahoshua · 04-09-07, 11:00 AM

No doubt about it, you are hardcore. You are the kind of subsim player who pins up the Kriegsmarine gridmap on your wall, you use a redlamp when playing at night, your wife lets you know her mother is visiting by shouting "Alarm!" and you didn't know--or care--that Silent Hunter III has a save game feature. You cut your teeth plotting attacks in Gato, sank 28,000 tons in your first Aces of the Deep patrol, and played Dangerous Waters at 100% realism. You scoff at wannabes who whine about some niggling detail in a subsim but use the red triangle-infested auto TDC and auto-map updates. You never, ever, use anything but full realism.
You are the "sim" in Subsim.

But looks like I'm going to go for shore leave soon, since my HD is giving me severe trouble recently (as in making weird scratching noises and lagging on operation) - seems like it'll go down the brink soon. Time for backup. NO! My burner is dead since long, too...and today shops are closed. I think I'm ****ed.

I even wash in diesel, I wear my binoculars around my neck when in Bridge View and have my cap on back wards while in 'Scope View. I have not yet rescued any aircrew because they refuse to hand over their watches.

I am the SIM as in simple minded I guess

Although in reality I am only Hardcore lite as I play with only 80% reality

NUKE SUBSIM SKIPPER
Periscopes are for wimps. Let's face it, any snapperhead can bring a WWII subsim to periscope depth, lock onto the red triangle and plug away. Real men never get closer than 8000 yards to their target. Your subsim of choice is made by a company in Waterford, Conn. You thrive on complex Target-Motion Analysis equations, deciphering broadband contacts, and gauging ESM signal strength. You are paler than Siberian stripper and proud of it. You long for the day you can take your Seawolf class nuke into an online game against a whole fleet of Type VIICs. One ADACP equals "make my day".

...But I never played a Nuke Subsim Ever I prefer my Silent hunter 3 XD

Some of the questions were confuseing.

its taken awhile to learn sh4, i have seen neals tutorial vids, whiched helped alot,
and not letting a crappy graphics card stop me, i went out and bought a 512kb graphics card and a power supply to drive it, this game is great!

or will be great when some bugs are fixed, and the modders are already doing a great job, thanks guys!

CASUAL SUBSIM SKIPPER You fell in love with Aces of the Deep. Your playing style is relaxed, more for fun than historical accuracy. You always play Sub Command or Dangerous Waters from the NavMap (rightclick is your friend), if you ever ventured to play them at all. Probably you prefer WWII subsims like Silent Hunter 3, SH4 and Aces. You may try the manual TDC, but you prefer to leave the auto map contacts on, (blank maps scare you). Even though you know submarine skippers missed targets occasionally in real life, you cannot resist reloading a mission to take another shot at a 10,000-tonne troopship that got away. One ship, one torpedo, finished off with the deck gun--that's the creed you live by.

Molon Labe · 04-09-07, 01:05 PM

Nuke... not that that's going to surprise anyone.

8000 yards? That's close as hell!
