Agreed. I have run into armed merchants and was shelled to ****, crashdiving immediately. But destroyers: I have only had one instance in where they were good in finding me. Most of the time they are The Republic of Congo's Navy rejects.

and some loose sailing stuff.

This game be too darn easy

.

All manual targeting, of course?

With unlimited ammo by the sounds of it.

I may have to bump up the realism from the 60% I currently play at (auto TDC and cameras enabled). I finished my second patrol last night and after seeing just about nothing but Huge European Liners I ended up with ~120,000 tons for a total of ~150,000 tons over both patrols.

Kinda

when compared to the real life numbers.

External camera is all I have available. I think it gives me an 85 percent realisim/difficulty factor.
Difficulty is on Hard if I recall correctly. (Never have set it to easy from the day I got it.)

good idea, I also force myself to let the gun crew do all the shooting. However, as as you can operate it yourself in rough seas, and your crew can't, it can be too much tempation to stay off it. Anyone know how to mod it so that you yourself can't operate the gun in rough seas?

I do operate the 20 and 40mm myself though, as it's just too much fun to shoot up small craft with them.

yeah I let the crew fire also. oddly my guys still fire in rough seas even though they say they cant...go figure
