SH5 players, Introduce yourself: roll call

[RemairTamec]

Hi guys, I only recently started playing subsims with SH5 a week ago. Since day one I've been looking at these forums for answers to questions and technical work arounds, some excelent stuff around. Right now I'm completely hooked on SH5, it is one of the most immersive games I've played in a while.

Happy hunting all

Welcome,and good luck!

My name is Chris (actually Christoffer, but when speaking English i usually short it to Chris for simplicity), i live right outside Stockholm, Sweden. Been living on and off in short intervals in Miami (on the beach, actually) last 10 years.

I'm an excavator operator by profession, photographer by heart, but educated to be a flight mechanic. Nothing's right there... I also have electronics as a hobby, I like making things from scratch! I also like playing my guitar (or more like it; trying to play my guitar) and playing Snooker. Not simultaneously though..that'd be..weird.

I haven't been playing subsims all that long (not counting Hunt for Red October (or whatever it was named) back when I was a kid in the 80s), SH4 on and off a year or so. What I've missed is the "running around the boat" thing, so when I saw that SH5 was like that, I ordered it right away. Now, I won't say I'm disappointed, but it's like I have a hundred ideas on how it could be really cool, and I wonder if none of the developers had the same ideas...Gonna have to see what mods to get to address the worst issues.
Would it be legal to sell a car where the doors would fall off sometimes, or where the car wouldn't ever start again if you closed the door in the wrong sequence?

So well, ranting on...that's a little about me anyway.
About pictures, I'm not so often on that side of the camera But I got one for ya. It's me with my precious (that'd be the mint condition -66 Hasselblad 500C with the -67 Carl Zeiss Sonnar 150mm I'm holding).

James, aged 51+, Gibsons, BC, Canada. I love boats, boating, being on or in the water. I like computers and playing sims, especially the SHs. I started with SHI when it first hit the shelves, I was hooked. Heard II was a waste of time so didn't bother. Loved III, I preordered the SE version of SHIV, am totally disappointed with V. I am a student of of the military and have a very large library of fact based histories in print and disk.
I have populated the UBI SH forums since 2005, but apart from downloading mods, this is my first posting on SUBSIM.

Ahoy mateys! (Clichéd enough for you all? )

I'm Nix (Rich), 22 and got into SH3 a while ago. Then the whole moving out bit of life took part and it appears i've lost all my skills for the seas upon installing SH5!!

I live just outside of London in Hertfordshire and looking forward to being a fellow subsimmer! But definitely have a lot to learn

Welcome to SubSim Rich

My name is Red. I got SH5 several months ago but got frustrated with it and moved on. Now Im back and trying to give it another try. I have never played a sub sim game before and I find it all new, but fun.

Hello, my name is Andreas from Germany. I live near Cologne and started with SH II, like to play III and I don't know what do do with V. IV is not opened, yet.
I'm very interested in submarines, the technical and historic aspects of them.

I'm member of the German submarin museum in Cuxhaven Altenbruch which is well known and a great source for diving into all submarine subjects: http://www.dubm.de

Hmm...registered here in 2005 and dont think I've ever introduced myself.

Started off with sub sims with Red Oktober back on the C64 a long time ago.

Graduated to Aces of the Deep and Silent Service, before upgrading to SHIII. I stopped playing SHIII a while back but with the release of SH5, I bought it (SH5) but it just didn't feel the same as SHIII.

I re-installed SHIII with GWX recently and have been enjoying it. Having said that, I have given SH5 another chance...

... with TDW's mega mod and a couple of other mods. Well, I have to say I love it. Now if the campaign is as good as SHIII I will stick with SH5.

Just wish there was a SH5 commander

I would post a picture but I have no digital images to share at this time.

My name is Mike and I have been playing PC games since I was about 14, I started with Mechwarrior 2 and other sci fi sims and moved to Jane's combat sims because I liked the idea of learning about the featured platforms.

For a long time I played 688(I) and got pretty good at it for a kid of that age, then I saw Das Boot...

I craved that kind of experience but at the time I was unaware of the Silent Hunter series so that interest kind of took a backseat to getting better at Counterstrike and the like.

For a long dark time I was really only able to play console games (xbox and xbox 360) because my computer just could not handle any new games, though I did find out about Silent Hunter and purchased SH3 from direct2drive.

I was blown away, the amount of immersion was so amazing and the ability to apply real tactics that the WWII aces used was something that I could not get enough of.

Now that I have a new computer up and running, I have been playing SH4 and SH5 and really enjoying both of them. (sugar boats FTW!!)

When I am not commanding a S-boat or a U-boat, I am working at home depot, reading various books, playing blues and jazz guitar and trying my hand at writing (expect some patrol reports!)

Born and raised in VT but living in Providence RI...I gotta get over to battleship cove sometime to see the Sub they have...anyone care to attend with me?
