WELCOME ABOARD!

Dead Is Dead. If you die your career is over - no reloading saved games to 'save' a kaleun you like just because you can.

I've re-evaluated what type of player I am. I decided i am DIDID. Which means once I get killed I quit playing, since in real life you only get one chance. I didn't count DID's from silly stuff like hitting bridge Pylons and micro islands while at TC. The simulation plays true. A real life Kaluen had no chance of making it through the war. Now that I got my history lesson, I may mod the game instead of playing it. Only playing to game test. But since the weather here is finally nice. Probably won't be around till next winter.

Between 4&5

I play DID. But I use externals... everything else turnt on.

1. Extreme Hardcore : 100% realism + D.I.D

Arrhh.. It's still not that extreme as SH3 says, but it will be very close to it when I start exploring real navigation mod on my next career

Type 3. I play DiD too; will not reload a previous save unless I have a CTD with the current one. Fortunately that doesn't happen very often.

Sailor Steve · 04-09-09, 01:33 PM

Well, there are times when Dead is NOT Dead, such as when for some unexplained reason the Kiel auto-transit in GWX runs you into the shore and you die. Or when you reload the game and it runs you into the bottom for no apparent reason.

I'll reload a career if either of those things happen. I've only slammed into the shore once during the Kiel auto-transit & only experienced the dreaded "crash dive of doom"

once that I can remember. Otherwise I play DiD.

Otto Heinzmeir · 04-09-09, 05:27 PM

I've actually gotten board with the game. Its probably just tooling around in the harbor listening to gramophone tunes when I get back to it. Or I will go back to GWX and look for schools of Dolphins. Too bad we can't go fishing for Sailfish or something.

4 to 3, depends on my day.

Brer Rabbit · 05-01-09, 11:33 PM

95% "god's eye" and DID. Goal is to survive and bring crew home---unfortunately that hasn't happened too often. just finished my first career with GWX3 -- three patrols sunk while trying to engage my first real convoy attack Oct 31, 1939. I have mainly concentrated on easy pickins, ie single ships.

I've just started playing at 100% with the map updates off,which I don't know if i'm going to like,we'll see

Bronzewing · 05-02-09, 10:19 AM

Type 2, but then I like type 2s. I sank a Nelson class (not sure which one of them it was) at anchor in the old U3. I play at 78%
