I'm still having trouble navigating around in Subsim. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. Not sure if people can contact me in here or by e-mail. Haven't figured out how to download a photo.

Any help on how to use protractor and compass to determine bearings would be a blessing! Totally lost with SH4 and it's manual. Just another Sod Pounder!

Welcome to the chaos!

Are you playing SH4 with any mods? There are some great ones out there in the SH4 mod section. I'm in the process of re-discovering SH4. If you're new to gaming (subsim/naval gaming), SH4 was a dud when it first came out, but now it is a work of art. I really enjoy playing it. Hurray for the subsim modding community.

Hello to everyone...fright52 here, but I also go by Robert. Grew up watching anything sci-fi/horror and, Halloween being my favorite holiday, is how I came about with "fright". Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA., but recently relocated to Atlanta metro Georgia. Big change but change is a good thing.
Art major, retired from the USPS, and now persue music. Have played music in vintage country and rockabilly bands.
I consider myself a modern day Frankenstein after my liver transplant in 2007. I am very fortunate to be given a second chance here on planet Earth. A special thanks goes out to one particular doctor, Dr Mello; and to my wonderful wife Chris, for keeping me alive!
As for computer games, I'm pretty new at all of this. I stumbled into SH4 by doing research on submarines for a model of a Gato sub I have been building in honor of my recently deceased father in law. He served on 3 subs and never got around to building Revells Gato model kit he purchased.
With all of that, sorry I rambled on. Time to say thanks for a great site and make every day a day to remember. Cheers!

Just offering a quick hello to the community.

I am a 34 year old from Australia. I am a mature age university student studying history and political science, and my submarine knowledge comes largely through books and games. Unfortunately I was unable to join the Australian Navy, so I missed out on the chance to experience these things first hand. My submarine game experience dates back to 688 Attack Sub on the Sega Genesis, and I have played a number of other sims over the years. I still find the Silent Hunter series to be my favourite, and I have just joined the community in order to find out more about my latest purchase, SH4.

Look forward to crossing paths with everyone on the forums.

Cheers,
Jade

WELCOME ABOARD!

We're looking forward to crossing paths with you as well. Hopefully not swords, though.

Name: Classified
Age: Classified
about me: Classified-Ehh-Fine

I will try to make this short: Loved DCS, but, full time in the EMS field takes its toll, learning aircraft on a game that is more focused at this point on money then diversity and keeping their word really pissed the community off. I wanted to play a modern air sim with someone who I was able to fly Tac bombers, from McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II, to the B-1B Lancer, GR4s, Su-34, Tu-22M,
Su-35/Su-27M, Su-57, you get it I like dropping bombs with simplicity. As I waited I bought modules but realised that there are way better fighter pilots and I hated that aspect. So I bought the combined arms(******* ME)..... So I went to Steel beasts but didn't realize you needed more people and mods to have fun, and then bus sims, then ATS/ETS[Not Sim enough....] So I found SUBSUM

. Only played Cold Waters so far, like the look of dangerous waters if there is a way to get better 3D models, or wait for a game that does all aspects and the ability to tone down the sim aspect so I can enjoy it. I guess I am a hardcore sim fan with DCS as I spent hours in HS playing before practice or in free time. However now I stick to games, I can pick up and leave. Any suggestions for games/mods please feel free to pm me.
About me: Currently a single EMT/AEMT-P[Every state does it different] but looking into hazmat, won't be the first to admit, got told by recruiters that having ADHD was a DQ but hopefully one day I will be able to serve. I enjoy SHOOTIN GUNS AND DRINKING JACK "YEE YEE", but also like to hangout and meet new people. Have not been on this site for more than 2 months I believe but went to overlord because I believe they deserve it and how amazing and non-toxic the community has been towards me. So thank you all who have helped me!
