Multiple Careers ?

FIREWALL · 07-07-08, 11:29 AM

Hi all

I was curious how many of you are running multiple careers ?

I'm running five.

1939 (Had to go thru those kool locks)
to
1945 and have a XXI boat with all the bells and whistles

And of course use SHC. Any of you doing the same ?

I started out with 20 from 1939 I'm now in 1941 and now down to 17.

He dreams

5 at present here....but when testing, always another 2 at least.

5 At the moment,can get confusing and deadly

thinking its still early'40 and sufacing to finish off a merchant with the deck gun and finding its the wrong career,its mid '41,and its armed with a bloody big gun

...............oh well

Cheeky sod.

Make that 16, I lost one when I was in the thick of a convoy in crap weather on the surface when a bloody small merchant went out his way to ram me, b******d.

I only do one career at a time. Helps with the immersion factor for me. I also play DiD with the only exceptions being computer hang-ups and TC deaths.

KeptinCranky · 07-07-08, 05:09 PM

I play DiD mostly, but I have at least one career for a VII a IX and a II simultaneously, and mostly different ones for different years too, it does vary though

currently I have 3 Kaleuns dead or surrendered 2 active and 1 for testing in my SH3 commander

Sailor Steve · 07-07-08, 07:39 PM

Only three: one out of each flotilla, all in 1939. When there are more flotillas available I'll have more side-by-side careers. When I get to December 1941 I'll be adding more, one from each available subron.

I like to keep things in order.

How do you guys play 'em all?

Do you just rotate through-do 1 one day, the other the next and so on or play 'em as the mood strikes you?

SmokinTep · 07-08-08, 07:33 AM

I am doing 2, one by the book, the other a maverick who does not obey orders and goes after ships in port.

I do a complete patrol in one career, then record the beginning and end dates in a separate log. The next one up is whichever is oldest, so they always stay current.

Jimbuna · 07-08-08, 11:02 AM

I wonder if anyone plays solely in the Alternate Flotillas mod ? :hmm:

STEED · 07-08-08, 11:37 AM

Down to 15 now.

Went out in a blaze of glory and blood lust electric engines smashed blew tanks and rammed the Town class Destroyer. Both of us were banged up so hopefully I took him out as well.

@jim

Not yet but I am going to give it ago soon.
