Hey guys. Been a looooong time since I registered, but better late than never.
I'm Napalm, and I've actually been sub-simming independently for several years. Picked up Silent Hunter 4 back in '11 and played the living daylights out of it. Picked up SH 5 in '12 and it wasn't quite to taste, so I decided to remain with SH4, as its theater of war wormed its way into my heart.
Put it down and basically forgot about it for the next year and a half. Bored one night, I started scrolling down in my games list, found it, and started up a new campaign. Registered an account here around that time to become active, but in my eagerness I failed to RTFM as it were and got a bit frustrated with modding so I let it go.
About two weeks ago, I picked up SH4 again and went full burst. My last campaign was the best I ever did due to a renewed interest in WWII subs making me do enough research to pick up some good real life tactics. (Dick O'Kane where have you been all my life). About then, basically no-lifing the game in an attempt to hit the end of the war, a lot of the glaring problems with base SH4 drove me over the deep end, so I finally bought the U-Boat missions to go to 1.5, and installed RFB.
Figured this time I'd actually try to contribute to the community as it were. Good look shows a lot of like-minded folk hanging around. (Ask me about how I almost joined the Navy later. :P)
