Quick question for the german speakers.

CaptainMattJ. · 03-25-12, 12:20 AM

Personally, i hate the english voiceovers in SH5, so i switched to German.

But, i keep hearing *something* along the lines of

"veite machine kleins fahrt gerausch" (thats what it sounds like to me, at least). maybe those woh also play with the German language pack understand what im talking about.

I know what it means to me when im playing SH5, as a change in speed, but i was wondering what it actually means in german, as i have had no luck in trying to translate it elsewhere.

More specifically, i keep hearing "veite maschine", and so far i have had 0 luck finding out the translation of it. I know it has something to do with the engines, but i was wondering if it meant anything.

Just curious. i get the jist of what my crew is relaying back to me, because of what i do, such as change speeds, but i was just wondering what the phrase would mean literally translated into german.

thank you

"Beide Maschinen kleine Fahrt voraus."

It means "both engines ahead slow."

You're welcome. Actually, I should clarify to avoid confusion that in the game it refers to "ahead 1/3".
