What kind of subsim skipper are you? - Page 9

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".

100x100 success, congratulations NASA!

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."

Haven't been around here (even lurking) in a while, but I'm getting the sub sim bug again so figured I'd see what's up. It said I'm an "Action Oriented Subsim Skipper". I didn't post the whole reply but I was a little surprised. I'd be the first to tell you I'm definitely not hardcore, but I've honestly never even tried Battlestations Midway and Steel whatever it was that the result listed. Yeah, I use auto targeting in SH4. Scoff at me if you want, I prefer to think of it as having a really good tracking party.

HARDCORE SUBSIM SKIPPER

It fails to mention that my coffee usually gets cold before I finish it. And, that I shave only once every 2-3 months...

Metal Mania,

For me, no problem at all. Since you are playing the game and enjoying it, be welcome to use auto targeting any day! The important thing is that you are here with us!

Says here I'm HARDCORE but I feel like I'm a long ways from a veteran subskipper with a big bag of tricks.

I do pretty damn good with just the O'Kane & Cromwell(90 & 45') attacks!

HARDCORE SUBSIM SKIPPER No 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.

Yes indeedy!
