Play it the way you feel most comfortable. Cheating in a solitaire game is an objective principle.

LOL! I normally never have the realism set above 51% myself. I'm a product of the modern US Navy. As an ex-Fire Controlman I've gotten too use to computers and ships gyro's to provide all the critical information and solutions. Not to mention that I was on AAW platforms, so shooting down air craft from many miles away with missiles is a LOT easier than trying to sink ships with torpedos using your eyeballs and a protractor!!
![]() Then again, there is something about wanting to do it the "Real" way that appeals to me. I think it's time I put my old butt back at the Training Command and learn how to do this the hard way. Takes me back to my "A" school days when we were learning how to do fire control solutions using trig. I've not gotten past 1942, so I've a long ways to go. Things like Real Life and other places that I hang out (Like MOUL on Game Tap) suck up some of my time, so my crew ends up with a lot of liberty while stuck in port! :rotfl: I figure once I've gotten through to the end of the war, I'll start again, only this time with things a lot more real! |

There is no dilemma. Just turn off map contact updates

Turn off map contact updates. Trust me. Please. Do yourself a favour. The game's all about plotting expected positions, estimating by eye, guessing, being wrong, being partially wrong, and sometimes being dead on balls accurate. The hell with comfort. Go big (all man targ, no map updates, no ext. cam) and you'll thank us (eventually).
![]() Correction - i use stabilize view. Otherwise, the stad is kinda useless - past my frustration threshold. Last edited by Keelbuster; 09-19-07 at 01:05 PM. |

I go with Joe and Keelbuster. All the realism settings. Sometimes I turn on theexternal view for screenshots only.
