Default realism

This is still my first run throught the war, so this campaign i have a pretty low realism setting, I think in the mid to upper 40% range

Ok, it's spelled "psychology"...

I play at 90%-100% realism.

BTW, what's your premise for your psych paper?

I play something like 60% realism. I do enough math at work so I dont want to do trig at home when I play. Therefore I have my Weaps officer calc target solutions. I also have external camera as I like to see the boats Im shooting blow up (with all the cinematic special effects I feel I would be missing 1/2 the game without the external cam on). other than those two..I have the rest of the settings at 100% realism.

84% with TM 1.6 here...

Still like unlimited fuel so I can go anywhere and everywhere, but manual targeting is a must EVEN IF I have to do all the work myself.

I mean to say, even Manual, who does the targeting, doesn't even help!

About the same here, 84-86, something like that. Basically everything except manual targetting as I can't be assed sitting there doing it, and I assume I'd have a tracking party doing it for me.

Ditto

My reason is similar. Im a pretty 'casual' gamer.

Realistic, less manual targeting. I just don't have the time or the inclination to be a one-man fire control party. As skipper, it's my officers and crew who should do this job, not the captain of the boat.

100% , just allowing me to move around the sub with the walk on deck mod.

map is always helping a lot to compute speed of target , thanks to the nomograph. then i compare with the automatic speed estimation of the computer (hey i am not alone in the sub )
