How long have you been playing SH3?

[devastat]

As i am just about to start my first patrol in SH 3, wanted to ask that for how long have you guys being playing this great sim? :)

[Bakkels]

Just for about three months now. But already I can't see a ship on tv without starting to estimate the AoB, and how much tonnage she'll get me. :D

Happy hunting! :salute:

[frau kaleun]

Looks I acquired it in Nov 2009, so... almost a year and a half.

[Randomizer]

I bought SH3 shortly after release but it wasn't until winter 2007 that I had a computer that could actually play it with reasonable frame rates and without graphics issues. Say a bit over four-years now.

I bought SH3 shortly after release...

Same here...

Instant classic in my mind. It's been on my hard drive ever since.

I play other titles from time to time, but I keep coming back to SH3... :yeah:

[Feuer Frei!]

On and off?
A long long time.

[klh]

17 March 2005 (still have the receipt)

I believe this was very close to the day it was released.

[Howard313]

I'd say it's going on about a month now and still going strong.

[HW3]

I bought it when it was first released after following all the pre release threads here at SubSim and the UBI forum, been playing it ever since. In my fourth war campaign at Wolves at War now.

From 2008...Never I played the stock game, from the first time, GWX. And after, GWX and LSH3, with many many additionals mods.

(Also I played FS2004 and Close Combat series games in those times). Now, my only games installed are GWX, LSH3, SH4 TMO rsrdc and SH4 OM OMEGU. And a month of SH5 (deleted...).

Regards.

[Sailor Steve]

Since March 2005. Been following the development of every mod, watching every thread and having a blast ever since.

[Herr-Berbunch]

Almost a year.




And still no manual targeting!:rotfl2:

[Sledgehammer427]

take my join date and subtract 3 days! :O:

I remember it like it was yesterday.

got sh3, played it, hated it, looked for a couple fixes, found this site, registered, and the rest is history....

(god only knows how I became the Tanksim moderator :doh:)

[desirableroasted]

Late 2005.

For my son's Christmas.

I guess I should give it to him, one of these days.

[papa_smurf]

Nearly 4 years now.

Same for me:yep:.

[Jimbuna]

2005 sometime...don't keep receipts.

[fo3]

Played it for 2-3 years when it first came out, then shelved it until 2 months ago. You really do need a fair bit of spare time to play the sim. Didn't have time when starting up a business.
The happy times were when I didn't have to worry about much else. I remember the times well, a nice relaxed evening patrolling the oceans, and a couple of glasses of port on a cold winters night (get the port on the return to base journey in 1x), and bring the sub in nice and smooth into the dock.

These days it's a couple of rough bourbons/rum/scotch and a quick high TC dash before reality or sleep calls.

Even now I may have a few spare hours to waste my time on forums, but I don't have the time to really get into the sim, so I dare not start it as I want to be in bed before 4am

[Gereke]

I've been playing SH3 for a few months now. One of those titles that I'd see and say to myself "I need to pick that up soon."

After years of saying it, I finally turned intention into action and have had quite a bit of fun. Only played the stock game for about two days before I installed GWX..... Then came SH3 Commander... Then another mod... and another....

I admit though, that I've been playing SH:4 with Operation Monsun a lot more than SH3 as of late.

[evan82]

From late autumn/fall 2007 with three/four-month intervals from time to time. Great game, one of the best games for me, maybe the best! :ping:

[Schwieger]

Winter of 2006... on and off between SH3, 4 and IL-2 :)

[Rhodes]

Possibly june 2005, it was a gift from my father after good remarks in the degree I was taking. :D

[Captain Nemo]

From looking at the receipt, I purchased SH3 on 8 April 2005. I never installed it for more than a year though because of the problems reported about the Starforce protection. Once I did install it I've never really stopped playing it.:yeah:

[VONHARRIS]

Since 2005.
I have discovered the GWX at 2010 and then I joined this forum.
I like very much to experiment with various mod combinations despite the CTDs.
I didn't have a stable Internet connection before 2009

[Greygh0st]

two weeks after it was released,

wow i've been at it that long. had Silent Hunter 2 before that as well.

[java`s revenge]

Since the game came out in the Netherlands.
I thought march 2005

[Mouftic]

I played for a year on and off when it was first released but stopped because I felt there was no real goal in playing the game.

Now with all the mods, sh3 commander and GWX, I can play a real ww2 sub game!!!

I bought sh5, but came back here. It needs lot's of work from modder's still before I immerse myself into it.

You've got a lot of company there...

Seems like scads of people are waiting for it to become 'playable.'

[Snestorm]

Around the end of 2007, or start of 2008. Best guesstimation.

[STEED]

2005 for me. :DL
