I'm going back to the Pacific.

Im terribly sorry about that sir, would you like your money back?... oh, wait a minute.....

Ah well, each to his own I guess, happy hunting in the Pacific

I agree that HMCS made an unfortunate and naive comment. He exaggerates and obviously those who play GWX a long time know that he is wrong. I agree. Still, the fact that you find his post abhorrent is not and should never be a reason good enough for his post to be deleted.
People are free to express their opinion ; this should be the general case and not the 'openness' of a community to opinions which are unfortunate/wrong as you have described. If an opinion is wrong for a reason, we state that indeed it is wrong for this reason and thats enough. No need to grab the guy from the face.
Also, look at his post. Can't you see that its quite a careless remark?
Thanks.

Its a fair comment he finds it boring where as I like sneaking up to unsuspecting ships and convoys struggling along in bad weather its a little more difficult to get a hit but its more fun.
There are plenty more Mods to try that handle the weather differently so what have you got to lose try them all.
And then go back to SH4 and listen to the radio for days and days and days.

Agreed,

The guy is just just saying his peice, its nothing offensive
Everything in this life get critisized and you (we) just have to deal with it.
If it was his intention to 'hurt our feelings' (which I dont think it was) then he didnt do a very good job of it

I found none of the replies being offensive. Its the part of ''having the post deleted'' that makes me worry. Maybe Damo exaggerated in return? Hmm, i think so and in a way i hope so.

Sure, but but I meant a post must be 'offensive' in order to justify deletion - no?
Anyways....

tomfon · 11-28-09, 11:47 AM

Ah! I'm sorry i didn't understand your reply in the first place. Well... yeah, i agree. His reply isn't sthg that will make you hit the roof. We have a deal.

Rothwell white · 11-28-09, 11:48 AM

Each to his\her own i suppose. Would'nt do all of us like the same things

But i am loving GWX 3

Philipp_Thomsen · 11-28-09, 11:50 AM

This forums cant go a day without someone flaming someone or something.

You cant judge the book by the cover. Either you have the patience to read from cover to cover, or you just shut up about it.

I did play Dead Space for 5 minutes, and I uninstalled cos it wasnt my taste. But I didnt went to any forum to say the game was sh!t, cos obviously I didnt give the game enough time to prove me otherwise. And I didnt tell anyone "Dead Space is a dull game" cos I dont have enough knowledge about it just to go out spreading the news.

Either you like GWX 3.0 + SH3, or you dont. 99% of people like it, and I believe the other 1% didnt give it enough time, didnt have enough patience to go thru. And if you dont like simulations at all, you shouldnt be playing any of the Silent Hunter franchise, cos its not your beach. Guy like you only serve to influenciate UBI to turn the Silent Hunter franchise more and more a game, and less a simulation, like we have seen the last few years. SH3 was great, SH4 was a joke. And we say this, cos we care about the simulation aspect of the game more then anything, and we will use our teeth and claws to protect it. If SH5 turns out to be more arcade then SH4, the franchise will be dead for me, cos lets face it, we cant be playing SH3 for ever, we need something new.

Just keep your opinions to yourself.

I don't get it... I found the Pacific to be dull. First you have to travel a billion miles to get to the goods and then you get sent from one patrol zone to another, burning fuel and having nothing to shoot at. I don't complain about dullness because it's usually smashed away when you encounter your first 30+ convoy with no <8k ton ships. The same goes for GWX. In one patrol I barely make 30k tons with all my torpedoes and gun shells spent. In the next I down 100k tons in a single huge convoy. And the weather sure it's annoying, but each spring we get here 2-3 weeks with no sun whatsoever. In GWX storms pass fast if you leave the area or just stand your ground until they pass. I think having calm water in the middle of the ocean to be more annoying than zero visibility. I can shadow a slow ship while keeping it at my 270 or 90. When it stops moving I know I'm right in front of it and just wait for it to byte the fog. Plus, those stern magnetic shots never fail to amuse me

SeaWolf U-57 · 11-28-09, 12:15 PM

Again it is down to taste some like this others like that
Surely the opinions expressed in these forums are what Mods are born from
someone makes a comment about something and a new idea to fix it comes along
its true that this thread seems to be just an open attack on GWX as seen so many times before. but to say that if you don't like something just keep quiet about it wont go anywhere.
There are other version Mods out there to try on the sites. also plenty of other comments about them also.
But to say that a thread should be closed due to some people not liking the content sometimes is justified but not in this case.

True.

Platapus · 11-28-09, 12:29 PM

Let's face it. GWX does suck!

I have been playing mission after mission after mission and not once did the cook ask me about the soup. Not once!!!

Bah and they call GWX a realism mod.
