wow, they said Im a casual subsim skipper! Thats so wrong...unless they are commenting about me not playing nothing but subsims.

I certainly do spread my gaming love around, but every other description was dead wrong. Im a historian nut, Im a 100% Realism player, I dont re-do missions if I miss...I feel violated

HARDCORE SUBSIM SKIPPERNo doubt about it, you are hardcore. You are the kind of subsim player who pins up the Kriegsmarine gridmap on your wall, you use a redlamp when playing at night, your wife lets you know her mother is visiting by shouting "Alarm!" and you didn't know--or care--that Silent Hunter III has a save game feature. You cut your teeth plotting attacks in Gato, sank 28,000 tons in your first Aces of the Deep patrol, and played Dangerous Waters at 100% realism. You scoff at wannabes who whine about some niggling detail in a subsim but use the red triangle-infested auto TDC and auto-map updates. You never, ever, use anything but full realism.
You are the "sim" in Subsim.


Arrrrgh Matey! I be sailin' the sevn' seas.

HARDCORE SUBSIM SKIPPER

I laughed out-loud when it said "You are the kind of subsim player who pins up the Kriegsmarine gridmap on your wall". I've had that Command Aces of the Deep map framed and mounted years ago. hehehe

Yay for 100% realism baby!

Fun quiz, thanks for riggin' it up! =]

What kind of subsim skipper are you?
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.

Btw what does "Boning an animal" have to do with sub-sims... Are you telling me that most subsimmers are Scottish? (sorry I had to) :rotfl:

Nuke SubSim Skipper...which saddens me a little as I like nothing better than a VII or at most a IX...the XXI is too much a new-fangled contraption...makes it too easy

I am somewhat a Sub Luddite

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 ADACP equals "make my day".



True. So you want to try a puny sonar deficient WW2 era sub V my multi-billion dollar attack sub? Bring on all of Germany! Seriously this is not the "Noob" option. That would be the one where you like to shoot whole fleets at >16x time acceleration. I never got beyond SH2, the WW2 era sims are a bit easy. What is the fun of taking on targets (surface ships), there is no threat.

[edit]Also why is this in the SH4 forum! Ehhhaa!

You are the "sim" in Subsim.

I will add to that that when I am at the office and my wife calls, the cry of "War Department Whooop, Whooop!" can sometimes be heard

'course I love DW also - but my first love is the WWII era.

Apparently I'm "hard-core", never would have guessed it, just thought I was doing something I loved. But maybe that's what "hard-core" is?

Good thing I'm single, if I wasn't then odds are my SO wouldn't let me get away with it after seeing the test results!!!

ROLE-PLAYING SUBSIM SKIPPER

I did have a TRS-80 with the cassette player!! I am NOT older though! I'm only 30. That's younger than the average player here isn't it? ISN'T IT!? Oh man maybe I am just like the crazy old guy in the picture.
