What type of SH3 player are you?

[JHuschke]

Hardcore 100%

[Wicked Popsicle]

huh and SS man I see I am with the 2nd SS myself in RO.

[timmyab]

80% + DID.I don't like manual targetting and I don't think it was the captain's job anyway was it?I do have a house rule though that I must have sight of the target for at least five minutes before I can launch unless it's very close range.Not sure how realistic this is.
For me DID is the thing that generates the excitement.That's where the fear and the joy comes from.It hurts when suddenly it's all over but it's all good character building stuff.

How odd, considering all the threads devoted to it. It simply means "Dead is Dead", meaning you've died, the career is over and there is no way you would resurrect it by reloading an earlier save.

1. Extreme hardcore, but the WO does the recognition for me.

I've never managed to survive the war. I was always depth-charged to death. This hedgehog is deadly accurate. You may survive the depth-charging but you will not make it if the destroyer attacks with the "hedgehog" thing as well. Now, if there is another destroyer around... kiss your officers and confess your sins ; the black ripper has come to visit you.

Anyway, that's just me.

I'm surprised that no one appears to be playing at #4, and only one so far at #3...
I play at #4 (43%).

Now excuse me, my U-boat just succumbed to a 4 hour depth charging and I have to go kick my girlfriend out of the bathroom

#2, DiD. I keep the external camera mainly for screenshots. Never had much use for auto targeting - it is a lot of fun to "eyeball" my torps.

I love old games like "Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe", where there's no way to resurrect your guy (without modding tools). I still remember getting my P-47 ace killed on his second-to-last mission when I was 11 years old. :rotfl:

I am so hardcore that when i go on patrol i turn my monitor OFF...


[serously realism is around 80+ %, sometimes manual targetting On/ sometimes not. I mean no need to have a stroke over the game. ]

[DaveU186]

I've pretty much tried it all with regards to realism and accuracy, with mods and so on, and I've come to the conclusion that I'm a bit inpatient and so on, and prefer keeping the realism to the minimum.

You play the game at whatever level your happiest at....nothing wrong with that

#2
I play with 85 % + D.I.D
I could play with 100% but guys over 40 years of age, like me, could have a heart attack from it.

[nikbear]

Realism settings vary,but never less than 50% and DiD,Always!it really depends how much time I have available,whole weekend to myselfthen the realism gets cranked up,quick fix of U-boat carnagethen it goes down a bit,horses for courses as they say,whatever makes you happy
