You know your addicted to SHIII when...

[WilhelmSchulz.]

... a tear forms in your eye when you wach Type 941's "Bismark"
... You have nightmares about air attacks.
... you say you have to use the "head"
...

[Safe-Keeper]

When you're walking about in Bergen harbour, looking at the cruise-ships, and you catch yourself wondering how much renown you'd get for sinking them [been there, done that:oops:].

When the first thing you think about when you see a modern warship is "my God, how superior that thing is to the German u-boats of old!" [Guilty].

When you're in school and the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the bell ring is "Crash Dive!".

When you're fresh from a game of Silent Hunter III, and, walking around in Bergen harbour, you wonder what all those Americans are doing in the midst of your city - when you last checked, after all, it was August 1940!

When you hide in the bushes, thinking "oh my God, when did the RAF get their hands on 737s!?" whenever you hear passenger aircraft overhead while out walking.

[Myxale]

...when you wake up screaming "ALAAARM!" and wait that someone screams "FLUUTEN! in return"
...when you grew a Beard and get smelly in your old clothing!
...when you insist that people adress you with "Jawohl, Herr Kaleun!"
...when you call your best friend LI!
...When you call the British "tommie"
...when you loath every "Bernard"
...when you eat whole lemmons on a regular basic!
...when the phone rings you scream "Alaaaarm!"
...when you don't mind getting wet!
...when you have vivid mightmares of being DC'ed by some Elite DD! (happed once to me)

Guilty on all counts.:oops:

[Immelman]

When you hang your salami, bread, bananas etc. from the ceiling (My frig is dead?)
When you haven't shaved or showered for months (What? I am still on patrol!)
When you only travel at night (Those bees are out there!)
When you always have binoculars hagning from your neck (Smoke on the horizon!)
When you go to your doc weekly to check you for crabs (Doc I am kind of itchy)
When you get all your news form wireless radio transmissions
When you say: I spit on PGP I use Enigma!!!

[Syxx_Killer]

When you have a dream about pratrolling the Atlantic in a Type IXC and wake up seasick. I had one shortly after getting the game a year ago this past April. I woke up all nautious. :doh:

[IrishUboot]

When you know all the words to the U-Boot Lied ... and you find yourself singing it as you work.

"Die Stunde hat geschlagen..." Feel free to join me.

[Safe-Keeper]

When you're taking your sail-boat out for a sea trip and...

1. Wonder where the Heck the annoying band and accompanying uniformed people and Red Cross nurses are.

2. Find yourself thinking "OK now, where's my patrol grid?".

[The Munster]

...When you are told "Ship Spotted" then you're heart crash-dives when you discover it's a Hospital ship but wait......... another ship spotted..yes.. but no..another Hospital ship !.. why me ?!

[Garrincha]

[catar M]

[The Noob]

I am ashamed to say that Playing SH3 had many effects on me. :shifty:;)

I've got ALL of them...Ecsept the diesel one. I hate that Stink...

[Eichenlaub]

When you walk , ride or drive through traffic with friends and exclaim that you're "picking up something on passive or active sonar" when a weird situation develops.:D

When you see a beautiful lady and tell your accompanying friends that you'd like to "actively ping her"...:oops:

Kind regards,

Eichenlaub

[HunterICX]

When you have too much fantasy

like when ur snorkeling ur playing as an submarine TO SNORKEL DEPTH!!!!!!
and ur harpoon are ur torpedo's and the fish are enemy Subs HARRRRRRRRR :arrgh!:

[TarJak]

when you look at the clock at work and start doing a time zone coversion because you are currently patrolling the east coast of Amerika!
when you start doing TDC calculations on the guy who just cut infront of you in traffic
when all the lights in your house have been set up with a switch to "rig for red"
When you try to go to sleep you can still hear the pinging.
and it gets more frequent and closer with every ping!
when your DVD copy of Das Boot starts to wear out

[macstu23]

I've recently taken to leaving my pc on and going to bed mid-patrol. I'll switch to the captains bed, conveniently aiming the camera at my copy of 'die sirens' (GW mod), then hit the hay.
Couple of days okay I actually woke up when my Watch Officer said "Ship Spotted!"

I havent shaved or seen sunlight in weeks either. Is that bad ?

[shegeek72]

I've jumped in my chair when I heard a loud noise on the TV, or outside, thinking I was being attacked when my mind is wandering during periods of inactivity in the game. :rotfl:

My mind not only wanders, sometimes it leaves all together.

[don1reed]

..:shifty:

when you realize you've spent over $500.00 on WWII books:rock:

[Safe-Keeper]

When you answer your phone, you promptly go "Ja, Admiral Dönitz?".
When your car carries an u-boat Flotilla emblem and you find yourself constantly in court over the 22mm mounted on its back.
When you're on the highway and think "oh damn, so much traffic, they'll spot me for sure!" (which might be a bad thing seeing your car carries a 1st Flotilla emblem and twin-barreled 22mm...:-?).
When you don't dare swim in the fjord - there might be u-boats:o!
When you hear a vacuum cleaner and jump a metre in the air, thinking "TORPEDO!".
When you go sailing and find yourself having submerged your sail-boat.

[bert8for3]

When you're setting up a night attack on the UZO and the white glare from the notepad and chronometer is too much. You head downstairs and get the red laserview glasses that came with the jig saw and put them on to improve your night vision.

[HunterICX]

-When you are driving in ur car at an Dock and suddently an Police men wishtle long and hard you're screaming ALLAAAAAAAAAAARM CRASH DIVEEE and u drive ur car off the Dock and crash into the water*

and then ur addicted friend in the back screams SHIP IS DAMAGED SIR!!
and yep flooding and u sink to the bottom...and when u come up you yell DAMN THOSE BRITS!!!

[THE_MASK]

When a real plane flies over your house while playing SH3 and you order a crash dive if on the surface .

[joea]

When you watch the various tour boats and sailboats on the lake (Lake Geneva in my case) and try figuring each ones range and AOB. :yep:

[Safe-Keeper]

Was that a confession, joea:p?

[Sailor Steve]

Nothing wrong with that. I do it with semi-trucks and buses on the highway.

[macstu23]

Lol, I do that as well. My house overlooks the Firth of Forth and quite often there are large merchants/tankers/transports and such sitting at anchor out there, lights full on at night...Just asking for it. I'll close one eye and start ranging them.

[P_Funk]

When you call your dog silent Otto...
When you save your game just after making contact with a convoy in 1940 and lie in bed for hours contemplating how to take advantage of the fact that it only has 3 escorts for around 30 something ships... seriously... its been a week since I saved the game and I can still remember it's heading, speed, and where all the juicy ships are...

[joea]

:know: Uh huh.

[_Seth_]

When your standing in the shower, with only the cold water running, and you are trying to
fix that "leak" before you are flooded!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[WilhelmSchulz.]

You keep confusing mph with Kts. :ping:

[Pants]

When you spend most of your waking hours modding the heck out of SH3...and also a good portion of sleep thinking of new things to add ;)

And you realise you dont have enough gaming time :damn: :down:
