My successful career ended at the bottom of the sea.

rest in the silence of the deep.

but hey, at least its not real life.

you can try it again.

could you imagine if you only get like one massive tutorial on how to play SH3 with GWX 2.1 and then you go out on patrols and if you die... you NEVER get to play SH3 again

now thats full realism

I'll tell you one thing: people would be a lot more careful, and we'd see a lot less of the massive tonnage scores.

"I think I'll spend a few more weeks practicing with single missions, thank you."

"Nope. Been playin' six months now and haven't started a patrol yet."

"Never mind. I spent so much time wasting time the game moved me to a desk job. Now I'll never get to play. Anyone up for a game of 'Kriegsmarine Suppy Officer'?"

i can agree with that.

i guess im just conservative and careful in nature, i rarley risk the boat & crew.

I heard a navy seal once say "Never stick out more than you would care to get shot off" its good advice for pretty much every battle scenario whether it be on the sea, in the air, or on land... i try to stick to that motto.

How about if you die, you get an electric shock thru your chair.
Nothing lethal, mind you, just enough to get a good jolt and make your hair stand up.
I bet you'd be less inclined to duel it on the surface with a Flower class corvette or a squadron of PBY's.

GR,

Playing the 1x game?,man,thats endurance and dedication for you

Theoretically then that could take 6yrs to finish!
How on earth do you pass the time during the mind numbing journey across the Atlantic?
I bet you even have racks of rotten hams and sausages swinging from your ceiling and monitor :rotfl:
