Ahhh hell, I took the bait. According to the quiz I am a:
HARDCORE SUBSIM SKIPPER 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. |

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". P.S. : Tho the author of the quiz obviously didn't play much DW and neither did he play any platform different then a Nuke in it ... still kinda funny tho. Cheers OS |

ROLE-PLAYING SUBSIM SKIPPER
Your taste in sub and naval games runs the gamut from Grey Wolf to Silent Hunter 4. You have tried them all, at varying realism options. You're a lit-tle old-er than the typical subsim skipper, and probably remember using a tape cassette player to load programs onto your Radio Shack TRS-80. (Or perhaps you're wise beyond your years.) Your primary joy is using your imagination to put yourself into the game. You are able to overlook little details like the crew appearing instantly on the bridge, or wonky AI: to you, these are easily worked into the story as a crew who are really light on their feet, and frigates that have green skippers. The game platform gets you halfway there, your imagination does the rest. You spend lots of time setting up your crew management so it's just right and may even talk to them. You relish managing support and logistics in games like Pacific Storm, Navy Field, and Silent War. |

Apparently I'm a hardcore subsimmer, hmm ...
Probably because I gave the correct hydrophone answer, but that had nothing to do with my simming knowledge : ) Funny question/answers tho, especially 'the Lord demandeth tonnage', hehe. |

The quiz result said I am a hardcore
Generally it is correct, but I don't know why the quiz asks me for my sexual life (prehaps German U-boat commanders spent too much time in sea and don't have time to do that!) :rotfl: I highly doubt why there is a question concerning Adam and Eve That's all right, perhaps I didn't know the hidden meaning behind it, just like the question How would you swipe a candy bar off a table guarded by three mean dogs? actually concerns how you $%%^&!$!#^%^% !(better left it for other kaptains to think about)
