Hi all. I am 49 years old from Canada, After being away from simulation games for about 10 years, I find myself with lots of time on my hands. I used to enjoy all sim games, flight, military, driving etc, but nothing gets the blood pumping like a Submarine simulator. My first computer games were Silent Service, 688 Attack, and Aces of the Deep.

I just recently re watched the directors cut of Das Boot and got the sub sim itch, so I went to YouTube to see if anyone had any sub sim content. I remembered Effing Controller had a bunch of Silent Hunter videos, and when the haze cleared I was sitting on Steam with SH3, SH4, SH4 U boats, and SH5 in my library. I of course came here cause you guys are great and always a ton of help.
Here's to many hours re-learning how to calculate firing solutions! :Kaleun_Cheers:
