I KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL YOU ALL

See what I mean clayton?

Part #259 of the CCIP fashion show. Somebody please take CCIP's cameras and mirrors away.

Now he has the nerve to claim lines from 'Achmed the Dead Terrorist.'

S'okay though. Privateer beat him to it.

This is the most intelligent analysis I have read to date on this forum. We do need psychological therapy. A bottle of prescibed pills might be in order as well. We are all bobbing around in our gray matter looking at a pixel world destroying pixel ships in our pixel submarines. We all live in a pixel submarine, a pixel submarine, a pixel submarine... (sung to the Beatles Yellow Submarine). Don't forget the marmalade skys brought to you by ROW! BTW, the ink blot looks like the oil pouring out of that fat pixel tanker I just whacked with my pixel torpedo. :p I like German sausage...it' in my blood and I can prove were it came from back to the 1700's in Germany.

Get over this folks. The schoolyard banter is really getting us nowhere and very fast. Now go to your pixel world with pixel ships and sink them with your pixel torpedo in your favorite pixel boat. Straight jackets for everyone!!! This round is on me! I hope I get one in a off-brown color. It favors my eyes. I hope my padded cell is very plush just in case I have some entertaining to do. Nurse Ratchet, we are going to watch the damn World Series. This place really is the Coo-Coo Nest. "Badia, badia, badia....that's all folks".....Porky Pig. Hmmmm, is Porky German or American....does this relate back to the sausage question? :hmm: Good night Gracie.

Jimbuna, you naughty little boy....
I never knew!

D'oh too late!

Best thread on the subject so far. I've always enjoyed subs and played SH3 into oblivion. Then looked forward to SH IV and the Pacific.

Granted, I didn't like SHIV at first, most for the interface, distance to immersion compared to SHIII and game bugs. Took all the fun out of it at first. But by now it is a pretty playable game with tons of potential.
I liked the subject matter and sailing an american sub was highly interesting, though a bit boring in the long as things actually became easier over time. I never ment that to piss of the Pacific folks, but because that was my honest impression. And japanese ASW was a joke compared to the threats mastered before. Nevertheless, it was fun, a whole new atmosphere and great joy.

Till the U boat missions were announced. First I was really looking forward to it, but then I felt the hate. Pacific drivers, instead of beeing happy for the u boat crowds and the potential of a truly global game, which also includes lots of US Atlantic action potential, got all hostile and passive agressive all of a sudden. U boat disses whereever you looked. A huge dissapointment right there.

Phrases like "The irony, is that many of the "daring do" exploits people like to do in their virtual uboats, actually occured in the pacific and not the atlantic." makes me shake my head. These ppl obviously grew up in a world of propaganda, where their own ppl were daring heroes on dangerous missions, while the enemy was a grey dull mass of brainless order executers. A grave lack of education in these regards.

That came and still comes as a great dissapointment and actually gave me a pretty "anti" stance towards the Pacific and their followers. Which is a shame really.

So this thread may help in that. I intended to open a thread just for the purpose of clearing things up anyways. And I am more then willing to bet that some of those hostile pacific fans only started acting this way because they got burned themselves by some atlantic morons. So it's not a one sided thing.

Well said Bewolf!!

Actually, i'm very well and equally versed in both The Atlantic U-boat campaign AND the Pacific submarine campaign. My statement stands. Sorry for busting your bubble with a little dash of reality.

Imagine that the last Uboat sim was SH1, (made 12 years ago), and every sim since then, you've had nothing but Fleetboats shoved at you when all you wanted was a Uboat sim. So you finally get a uboat sim, and not too long there after, people start trying to convert it back to ANOTHER fleetboat sim. Whats more, since it has such a huge and rabid fanboy following, it threatens to stunt the growth of the campaign you wanted because the majority of community efforts will go to the theater that youve had to put up for several years. AND THEN, you have Fleetboat fans making posts like this:

You might just be a little upset.

What the man said.

That post Duci quoted is just asking for trouble.

I prefer the Fleet Boats because I have fond memories of SH1 and also like the change from the Germans.

Having said that I'll still get the addon for any extras included for the Pacific.

If I want to go back to the ETO, give me a S, T or U Class boat.

Mike.

I played SH3 to death. It was time for a change of scenery.

Granted, I didn't like SHIV at first, most for the interface, distance to immersion compared to SHIII and game bugs. Took all the fun out of it at first. But by now it is a pretty playable game with tons of potential.

Yes, the Pacific does not seem as gripping as the Atlantic but again, new atmosphere and new game to enjoy. I also got tired of getting spanked all the time in the Atlantic.

Till the U boat missions were announced. First I was really looking forward to it, but then I felt the hate. Pacific drivers, instead of beeing happy for the u boat crowds and the potential of a truly global game, which also includes lots of US Atlantic action potential, got all hostile and passive agressive all of a sudden. U boat disses whereever you looked. A huge dissapointment right there.

I'm extemely happy for the u boat crowd. The SH4 engine is very nice and I would hope the u boat crowd would take advantage of it. It seems some are doing so. I see Penelope is getting very active with it. She is an avid fan of the u boats. Quite frankly, once a decent mod for the SH4 uboats in the Atlantic is available, I will certainly patrol those waters again. As far as the 'dissess', the 'dissing' was mutual.

Phrases like "The irony, is that many of the "daring do" exploits people like to do in their virtual uboats, actually occured in the pacific and not the atlantic." makes me shake my head. These ppl obviously grew up in a world of propaganda, where their own ppl were daring heroes on dangerous missions, while the enemy was a grey dull mass of brainless order executers. A grave lack of education in these regards.

You just might want to stand back and qualify this statement. Very open ended and open for ridicule. Is this were the 'dissing' comes into play from the u boat fan?

That came and still comes as a great dissapointment and actually gave me a pretty "anti" stance towards the Pacific and their followers. Which is a shame really.

Sorry for your disappointment. No were in the manual did it say the player must make Bewolf happy. For that matter the manual did not say much of anything.

So this thread may help in that. I intended to open a thread just for the purpose of clearing things up anyways. And I am more then willing to bet that some of those hostile pacific fans only started acting this way because they got burned themselves by some atlantic morons. So it's not a one sided thing.

I recommend you do not start such a thread. The only clear thing I see here is your distaste for the other members of the forum who would like the Pacific. Therefore, any thoughts of yours look to be skewed. I also detect a bit of hostility towards a certain member. That member has been a bit hostile as well. Mutual hostility. I see your post here as one sided. But hey, that is just me. I think perhaps is a good time to move on from this thread.
