A somewhat humorous problem

[spork542]

I got myself a IIA in 1939, and I'm having a rather interesting problem that you German-speakers might be able to help with. The culprit:
Häußer

How is this pronounced? You know there's something very wrong when you cannot pronounce your commander's own last name.

[Paajtor]

A bit like Hojzer, I think.

Houser (like house)

:yep: :up:

[Paajtor]

...yeah, but it's the "ä" that does the trick. ;)

Thanks! :D Just hit a ~12000 ton merchant with two torpedoes. I'm hoping it sinks without an extra torpedo.

Edit: Got it! Only 10000 tons though. :nope:

[spork542]

I sank two more of them. 30k tons in a dugout and I don't even get enough renown for a VIIB, after 3 patrols already. :o

it depends on the realism lvl u pick.

Just change your Delta Renown if it means that much to you :yep:

It would be written in English as "Haeusser", but not sure if that helps you at all with pronunciation :D

Except for our brothers to the north. They pronounce it "hoser".:rotfl:

[Mr.Fleck]

concerning the ß: it is not pronouced like in "house" but instead like in "Sun" or "Sailor Steve" (sorry Sailor Steve, but I guess you can live with beeing a glaring pronounciation example :)).

The "äu" is spelled like "oy" in royal, so in English I would write it "Hoysser" (double s to make sure the s is not spelled like in house).

just my German two euro cents ;)

So that's not bad at all, right?:D

Mr. Fleck is right on the money. :up:
