Gooday Fellow Submarine Enthusiasts!

Hello,

Well It's about time I made an introductory topic, I've been putting it off for far too long..

My name is Montray,

I have been a Silent hunter player since the day Silent hunter 3 came out. (which is not very hardcore, I know, knowing that some of you fellas have been playing submarine sims for far longer.

I recently wanted to get back into silent huntering after being away from it for a long time (since playing silent hunter IV for about a year after it came out, non stop)

I am a bit of a noob still at playing this game, especially the manual targeting, I am very very poor at math and degrees calculating and such, really, I need a calculator for calculating 2+2, so I have had rather difficulties getting into manual targeting.

So I've never had that monumental day when I thought "TODAY, I will play 100% realism and never EVER look back"

I bought Silent hunter V after many many, many discouraging posts about it being 'broken'.
And even with mods, I can't really get into the game.

So I strapped into my gaming throne and loaded up steam and Silent hunter IV and I haven't seen daylight for about 2/3 weeks.
I still very much enjoy it and the main reason for making this post is that I want to get into the community aspect of these kinds of games.

And the subsim community comes highly regarded and is from about 99% of the people I hear talking about it highly respected for their intelligence and ability to help people, ok now I'm just kissing ass, but still, I hear alot of good things : P

I am dutch and 25 years old

Really hope this posts isn't too long, if so.. I'm sorry, If not, I hope you enjoy.

Kind regards,

Montray

Never spent much time up north but did travel the south extensively...a beautiful country.

I lived in Schellenberg and still maintain contact with a few of my friends over there.

Hrm, Schellenberg, have never heard of it to be honest

I did a wiki on it, and all I got was an article about a german town, I assume that was my fault? :P

Great to see someone here speaking my native language though and thanks for the welcoming committee sir!
