Even though I can only spend so much time playng GWX (used to be TGW) I run at 1x a lot of times when I have to lay down because of symptoms. The computer room is right next to my resting room, so I can hear what is going on and can usually reach my computer in time to react to the situation. It's not the quick (well not most of the time) that is against my health, but rather the excitment of the game. My ole heart pumps, and the oxygen doesn't get there fast enough, then I'm into deep trouble. That's why I have to be careful when I watch hockey, especially if it is my favourite team.

I too just sat with the bridge on the screen and enjoy the scenery. So 1x does not bother me 1 bit.

cool robj I think you miss alot tc'in all over the place sound contacs mostly

52 hours to port

1 stern torp left 28ktons an13/14 where hot never made my patrol zone BE31 thank god

dinadan122 · 12-26-06, 04:57 AM

When you 1x do you 1x from port to "unfriendly" areas. i like to 1x in hostile areas but i 1024 in areas that i know i will never see action.

codmander · 12-26-06, 09:15 AM

MY FIRST 1X PATROL---whew Well cappys

I am finnally on a heading homeward . Grid AN41- Flank speed -southeast course -trying to make some distance from those dam aircraft overnight ! By morning We should be in friendly waters! We scored some great tonnage 28.4k tons!! Did suffer some damage from aircraft..BUT noone was hurt..HOT FOOD-HOT WOMEN-AND A HOT BATH AWAIT

We should see port in 39 hours !

My First Officers asks what are you doing when you get back--I respond going on my second 1x patrol

SubConscious · 12-26-06, 09:35 AM

I'd love to be able to play at 1x. The problem is that I get maybe 2-3 hours of game time per week. So a three week patrol would take me over three years to complete.

Jimbuna · 12-26-06, 09:38 AM

Not knocking the x1 player...but two questions spring to mind:
1) How do you find the time ? :hmm:
2)How long must it take to cimplete a career if you survive to the end of the war ? :hmm:

codmander · 12-26-06, 10:52 AM

http://home.comcast.net/~codmander It pays to be a landlord/self employed charter/commercail fisherman/ even if theres no charters my hand is out at the end of the month

but probly will do somthing in the spring :hmm: on the cape?? Im your boy for some offshore action

My first 1x patrol took 7 days game time not sure how many days my time shut it down at bedtime for 8 hours or so per day so do the math

IT'S probly close to 1 carreer using tc = 1 patrol at 1x

LeafsFan · 12-26-06, 11:05 AM

Sure you can have your thread, I can't play that way though.

AVGWarhawk · 12-26-06, 11:15 AM

I was thinking about the having to get up and leaving the computer...perhaps a wireless keyboard is in order. Say your in the crapper and hear aircraft you can hit the C key whilst you taking a dump!!!

Anyway, GWX has in a way forced me to play 1X in some situations. Currently I'm shadowing a convoy and I do not want to TC into night time for a night time attack. I'm afraid I might lose the merchants. Therefore I'm playing 1x for the darkness to fall and make a surface attack!

dinadan122 · 12-26-06, 05:55 PM

when you play 1x at least when i do you dont sit at your computer the whole time ,i watch my kids make dinner clean house ext untill something happens if nothing else to do i pull a watch shift and check hydrohpones change shifts makeing a scheduel for your crew helps and when to submerge/surface and check hydrophones.1x is great for me atm b/c im on medical leave and im also doing some school stuff so i can play a game and do what i need to all at the same time , multitask ftw! i also speed throught friedly areas as nothing will happen here.
