How the hell do i survive

lol

there are some new bits of hardware, to be attached to your monitor. a shower nozel and a device which reproduces scents. 3.1 will add bowspray and a mixture of sweat, diesel and vomit to the gaming experience

Does it also arrange regular appointments with your local 'sanitäter' when things start crawling? Or do I need SH Commander 4.9 for that?

just ignoring the crawling...and hoping it will go away itself is the best option....just ask the first watch officer in das boot! :rotfl: :rotfl:

No need for all that fancy gear.....simply refrain from showering and shaving for three months

this is known as the "surprise ending" to your career. because usually the player is left sitting there looking at a death screen going "What!?!?!?!"

at least on the surface you can see them coming. (unless of course you have the late war snorkel radar warning receiver then by all means use the snorkel)

This is one of the 'quirks' of SHIII and GWX that annoy me: You can't have a watch officer assigned to a "periscope watch", which is what they did when snorting. It's not *PERFECT*, but a scan with the observation scope has a good chance of detecting an aircraft or ship that wouldn't otherwise be detectable.

I'd much rather have a 50 or 75% chance of spotting an aircraft *BEFORE* it drops on me than the 0% chance that I have now.

Because without the "stealth" option for the snorkel, you're quite liable to get detected and bombed by airplanes without any warning. On the surface, as least you get some warning that they are incoming, and you can take appropriate defensive actions. As others have mentioned.

Having a periscope "watch" is a fantastic idea- for the next version I guess.
