My name is Denni and I am an immersion addict:

I start and end my patrols in my pen at my base
I enjoy following the escort boat out of the inner harbor
I spend time on the bridge and ensure my boat can handle the sea conditions and if necessary I will alter course to give my crew a better ride in rough seas to minimize damage and fatigue
I will go deep to avoid extreme seas and surface only to replenish air and charge batteries, I micro manage my resources
I talk to my crew (whoops)
I am aggressive enough to sink tonnage but the safety of my crew and boat is required to fight another day.
I always pack one or two eels for the trip home where I usually score.
I always shut down the sim when time for sleep and I go to my bunk aboard my boat and then shut down (usually at depth to avoid imaginary attack) so when I restart my sim patrol fresh and eager I rise up in the control room.
I always go for the experience and not the Hollywood as the sim gives back much in immersion
I am an immersion freak. May god have mercy on my wayward soul.

And do you go to your cabin room for a rest sometimes too?

you do use time compression?

I do alot of those things myself, last patrol lasted for 13.5 real life hours (yesterday/today) and all in one sitting, my wife moaned when she woke up and I was still sitting here.

My name is Flag4 and i am an emerging freak.

i have sailed the waves above and below for 4 - 5 years now and i still make the same mistakes: impatience, rash decision, unparrelled stupidity/bravery in the face of the Enemy.

kindness and empathy for my crew.

endless endless patience to perfect my skills - still not mastered 100% realism

never given up with the game

countless CTD/other technical gymnastics

love the history - the real history.

BIG scaredy-cat, don't like leaving the pond: Post '39.

Anyone fancy a pint?
