We're having a lot of fun with this one A short quiz to measure your naval sim IQ. .

Cheers
Neal

No way this noob rates that highly, but it was a fun quiz.

It's all true!

I won't have to take the test, I'm the same as HammFist. But what the heck.

Good grief, I got the hardcore ranking. I most definitely don't use manual fire mode. Oh well, it was fun though.

Hi All,

How did they know? Who has been spying on the way I play Sub Simulations?

"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."

We can't all be Hardcore!

Wired,

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".

Paler than a Siberian stripper?

I`m a hardcore simmer!!!

And Darn Proud of IT!

Ive been following sub sims from AOD, SH1-SH4...
Been doing multiplayer patrols since SH2 and before the METZWATER fixes, as a member of the 3 FLOT...

Lets see, I have WW2 submariner night goggles hanging on my monitor...
Highly detailed VIIc model on my shelf...
Original WWII laughing saw fish tin hat emblem in a curio...

But Im a closet Naval simmer....
For I am AV8R, the flight simmer using the callsign WULFPAK at Subsim.com

Shhhhh dont tell anyone

I just accidently knocked over a can of Tecate Beer.
Still laughing,mopping up the mess...Oh Man..my keyboard...

RDDR, you1ll have to swab that keyboard. I got back into SHIII, and purchased SHIV, just started construction on the 1/72nd scale Revell U=Boat, and have ordered the 1/72nd scale Gato, so I`ll be busy for awhile. Puts

HARDCORE SUBSIM SKIPPER

There must be something wrong there. Hmmm. I couldn't hit a harbour with a torpedo without auto targeting...
Excellent quizz and very funny! Thanks,
Cyrille
