Default Bernard is back!

Did you notice that the default Captain name when you start a U-boat campaign is Bernard?:rotfl:

Default Sorry Guys

Maybe I'm dumb - but whats the significance of this? I've been plaing the SH series since it first came out and this doesn't ring any bells.

Bernard is just the guy on you boat that messes things up for you and the others.

Since ComSubPac is our double-agent commander person, he gave Bernard command to screw up the campaign, ComSubPac is a double-double-agent...

Reading the Credits, I saw Comedians listed.

Which one came up with the
"HEY! Let's name the Captain Bernard Von Unfal!!"

Now,
I know what Bernard means, and I know what Von means.

But what is Unfal?

Bernard Of ?

Bernard is the German equivalent of Gilligan.

He is one of the more indispensable members of the crew, because he's the guy you blame for every stupid mistake you make.

It all started one sunny day in the SH3 boards, when a ferret named Dowly needed a name for his newly-founded Humorous Pictures thread:

One simple joke and a legend was born.

UBI has always paid attention. When people were complaining about the 'babysitter' Crew Management system in SH3, one player said what it really needs is a 'Watch Bill' automatic rotation system, since that's the way it works in real life; and look what turned up in SH4. They read these threads, and they pay attention to what the players want.

I doubt he does, but I certainly have a problem with somebody replying to a comment made six years ago by a member who hasn't even visited this forum in almost three years.

Please read the date of posts you respond to before wasting the forum's space and everybody's time.
