The environment-part is very good. No doubt about this.

The speech-part is nonsense for German ears and brings the immersion-factor down to zero.

As a player of SH3 you normally have seen “Das Boot” and the voice of the captain is very well known in Germany. When nothing specific happens that guy is frequently speaking in your sound mod. And as you are the player and with that the captain, you are permanently listening to yourself. Many (women) love that.

Poor captain’s remembering-capacity is nearly zero. He repeats the sentences every five minutes and what he says, has noting to do with the specific situation. When you are surfaced he says: “We remain dived”. When no ships are in sight he talks about a ship that is not reachable or repeats something he just said.

When there is a radio-transmission, the dialog is constantly:

-Transmission terminated!
-We need the codebook!!
-Here it is.
-Sound of writing on a mechanical typewriter
-Captain, the message.

If you are ontime-acceleration, this dialogue can come every three seconds.

No further examples. I know, itīs a matter of understanding or not understanding the dialogue.

Is it possible to take out the captains voice as a special option for German players? That would raise the immersion-factor considerably.

Keep up the good work.

YOU GUYS REALLY NEED TO RTFM!

Read again the first post, the part about the ambient sound. You'll see that I've made a version without german conversation, for the german speakers. It's a pain in the ass to think about the issue, find a fix for it, upload it and some people say "hey, why don't you do this and that" once you ALREADY DID IT!

I understand german enough to understand what they are saying, or at least half of it. But I think more imersive to hear crew chatting than to hear absolute silence all the time... but to each his own! That's why I've created THREE versions of ambient sounds so you can choose.
