And also like the delay idea - kind of like the radio operators delay in sending reports or the real Nav delays.

After a while you know which ships are coming the way, and identification becomes routine. Kind of realistic too.

a) players who like to do only the real tasks of a Kaleun on a U-Boot b) players who like to do many more tasks that are not necessarily KL tasks (ship ID, navigation tasks etc.) c) players who like to micromanage basically everything So we need to differentiate and be careful to consider certain automations/tasks unrealistic. Personally, I'm type "a" and for example I don't use real navigation. But on the other hand I'd like my navigation officer to use it, to see some random, realistic failures in determing boat position due to bad weather, currents etc.

TWoS offers the first time to work with different sectors in the sub and after playing so many years with waypoints, TWoS was a fresh new way of WWII sub sim. IMO was the automatism from the navigator without using "Real Navigation" unrealistic because the 100% accurate marks on the map are such ones created from a computer without errors and like i said the ships are identified so, so far away like from an eagle eye.

What you wrote brings IMO not the effect you want to. Failures in boat position has no effect in the game instead of real life WWII situations. For example, in the case there was a meeting with a milkcow in the middle of the atlantic on a specific day or time and it was hard to reach the supporter in case of bad weather. When you want to attack an enemy ship in sh5 it doesent matter where you are exactly at the sea. You, or your navigator can calculate on a random place the torpedo attack. When i didnt hit the ship with Real Navigation - except of duds - i know it was my fault, something went wrong with my values and the calculation with these or so. What do yo want instead, without Real Navigation, that you didnt hit the ship and after realising that you will get automaticly a message from your 1Wo or Navigator who said:"We dont hit the ship, think we got errors in our calculations, sry Kaleun"!?

There will always be a compromise between Realism and playability that applies to all games and WOS is no exception . Silent Hunter 5 is a Sim game afterall so there is a bias towards realism and historical accuracy. WOS takes this a step further that's what its all about.
In terms of difficulty levels there is quite a lot of scope with the options such as the No RealNav and ship recognition addons . I think this is a good idea as it helps assist the "Learning Curve" for new players and the level can be upped as you gain more experience. Personally I think WOS has got this bang on and there is no need for any major change, maybe some little tweaks here and there. None of this is really "Rocket Science" I'd think most of you would agree. Regarding the previous point there are some little pointers I'd like too add Quote:
Your point about the Enigma Machine are very valid and interesting . I did not know the German Version was different other than just Language translation I hope it thrives, it cannot be a bad thing for the Standard English Version Its good to see all these points and ideas generated from 1 post, keep it rolling For those who don't know me I'm British, never wrong, always right and should not be argued with, + never taken too seriously.

First of all I just ask if he knows someone I can contact to realise this feature. Well, and it's just an experience during tricky situations ... as a commander, I simply want to order (via keyboard) course 334, depth 56 meters. Quick and precise. But maybe I'm getting too much German at this point. And if it's possible, why not adding it. Werner von Schmidt |

I'm now May 1940 and even it's still early in the campaign, I noticed:
1) no Spy in-/ex-filtration mission yet : I can't remember when and how you get these offered and I don't like to miss them 2) convoys : Not seen one, second patrol north of IRE completed, not sure when exactly they were established by the allies, however I already get BDU messages, but all of them far off my position though) sorry if this was asked before but this is a huge thread thanks

Hi Guys
The infiltration missions come about when you request a mission in the normal way. Instead of a grid patrol area you get a special mission. Check the dates. Peter
