"ADOPT" a u-boat ...

[von Kinderei]

I've noticed that alot of you guys on here use a certain u-boat number ( historical I assume ) and I was wonderin' ... do you guys just " ADOPT " one or does someone issue you a u-boat ...

Is there a list of whats bein' used on here or does it even matter ... I mean I wouldn't want a u-boat # thats bein' used by someone else ...

Maybe this is just ramblein's from an idiot that thinks WAY to much :hmm:


Thanks

Heh heh. That would probably only be an issue if we were all playing SH3 online in a common cyber-Atlantic somehow. :cool: Sadly, that concept has yet to be. However, there are some who submit their patrol results individually to an internet 'Bdu' and campaign that way.

Thanks for a reply ...

I just didn't wanna step on any toes when I decide the u-boat I want to take command of ( virtual cyber historically ) is actully used by another member on here :lol:

There were quite a few U-Boats which had their production cancelled or only projected. U.491-U.493, U.494.-U.500, U.684-U.700, U.723-U.730 for starters. No one should object to those. ;)

Actually...here's a more complete list...

VK, do you use SHIII Commander, you can pick a number from there, or create your own, I use several numbers for different types of boats, try a customized sub emblem to give your boat a different look. Puts:up:

I'm wantin' to choose an ACTUAL U-Boat number and have a virtual history with that boat and crew ...

Kinda makes the sim more alive and enjoyable ... at least for me anyways !

Long ago, while waiting for SH2, a Wolf Pack League was started, and members could pick and register a boat number to identify with for future play, and we did wait a very long time for it. I'm kind of fond of my old crew of the U-38.

They are not our boats, anyway; they are Uncle Karl's. You are free to champion any boat you might like.

I let SH3 commander choose a number for my U-boat.

U420 here and when the enemy sees smoke coming from my sub whilst surfaced you can bet it ain't from the diesels :lol: :lol: :cool: :rotfl:

In GWX 1.03 I was in command of U-202.

In Summer I visited Laboe and Möltenort memorial. In Möltenort, all the lost subs and the lost crewmembers of both WWs are on two big walls. There I found U-202 too. IIRC they made it to 1942 before the boat was sunk with all hands. I was thinking if I would get as far as the real skipper did. A VERY chilling experience. So many boats, so many names.

Unfortunatly I just discovered, that I MIGHT (I really hope I`ll find another CD) have lost all my pics later than march as I might have NOT burned all pics before system upgrade, otherwise I would have posted a pic of the memorial plate for U-202. :damn:

Oh well, Laboe and Möltenort is only 25 km from here, time for another trip.

btw. I always accept the boat I`m assigned to, only if it`s a famous one, then I alter the number.

[von Kinderei]

I'm gonna ADOPT U-35 for my boat if no-one cares ...


Thanks for the in-put gents :up:
