How realistic do you play SH3

Duds/Manual targeting turned off the rest enabled. Sometimes i'll enable external view othertimes for that bit of realism its off - its a bastard that because external view is way better turned off especially when your chased by a couple of escorts being depth charge and you can't know where they are except for sonar, but its also good to have it enabled so you can view your sub etc.,

I remeber SH2 had a good way around it. You could view your sub when submerged but not above so if your sub was at pericope depth you could view it but you couldn't go above the water to view. So you still got that realism and take as many snapshots as you want of your uboat without still knowing where the enemy is. Can this be done in SH3.

I'm at 88%... I have realistic ship sinking time off, Weapons Officer assistance and manual Targeting on.

I play with the OLC GUI though, so I also have my periscope stabilized.

Oh and the external camera of course to catch some of the eye candy, I'm disciplined enough not to use it for cheating... it would spoil the fun anyway.

I think thats it, soon I will start my new career, I think I have had enough practice with the manual targeting... OLC GUI is a godsend.
