ACTION-ORIENTED SUBSIM SKIPPER

STRATEGIC SUBSIM SKIPPER
For you, Silent Hunter 4 is just Battleship with shiny, moving pieces. You see the big picture, you think long term, and you are indifferent to political consequences. They would not have put you in charge of a $2 billion attack sub if they didn't want you to use it. You learned that back in Red Storm Rising and you never forgot. You prefer handling large scale operations like Fleet Command and Fighting Steel. Half your time is spent setting up mind-numbingly complex battle plans, with 8 layers of contingencies. You pray for the day Sonalysts will release a ballistic missile sub. With nukes. Every day is a good day for the other side to die. Your motto is "Be my friend or be a mushroom cloud."

Umm...

...fit's my RL behaviour pretty well...:rotfl:

ROLE-PLAYING SUBSIM SKIPPER
Your taste in sub and naval games runs the gamut from Grey Wolf to Silent Hunter 4. You have tried them all, at varying realism options. You're a lit-tle old-er than the typical subsim skipper, and probably remember using a tape cassette player to load programs onto your Radio Shack TRS-80. (Or perhaps you're wise beyond your years.) Your primary joy is using your imagination to put yourself into the game. You are able to overlook little details like the crew appearing instantly on the bridge, or wonky AI: to you, these are easily worked into the story as a crew who are really light on their feet, and frigates that have green skippers. The game platform gets you halfway there, your imagination does the rest. You spend lots of time setting up your crew management so it's just right and may even talk to them. You relish managing support and logistics in games like Pacific Storm, Navy Field, and Silent War.

Aaargh! A questionnaire that knows me better than I know myself. Casual simmer. I hang my head in shame

NUKE SUBSIM SKIPPER
Periscopes are for wimps. Let's face it, any snapperhead can bring a WWII subsim to periscope depth, lock onto the red triangle and plug away. Real men never get closer than 8000 yards to their target. Your subsim of choice is made by a company in Waterford, Conn. You thrive on complex Target-Motion Analysis equations, deciphering broadband contacts, and gauging ESM signal strength. You are paler than Siberian stripper and proud of it. You long for the day you can take your Seawolf class nuke into an online game against a whole fleet of Type VIICs. One ADCAP equals "make my day".

TheBlobThing · 06-16-08, 03:55 AM

Casual for me too! And that conclusion was spot-on!

msalama · 06-16-08, 03:58 AM

Sez I'm hardcore

Well, I _try_ to approach this game as if it was RL, true...

Sometimes when an old thread gets dredged up we wonder why, and make rude comments.

I'm glad to see that new members have found this one again. It deserves to be noticed.

and I've actually been around for awhile. I was searching for something and happened upon it. I don't think I had ever done it for whatever reason and couldn't resist. Like you I thought this was a great thread and am not suprised that other who missed it jumped right in with taking the quiz. My result kind of make me want to start playing Dangerous Waters some again. Breaks my heart to think it could be the last of that breed, I so love commanding the nuke boats.
