Fantastic! When were you are Cropper? I was there from March 2008-September 2009. I worked back at the Wastewater Treatment Plant (Civilian Contractor: I'm sure you know the company but it's so humiliating to name it that I always just say Civilian Contractor). (I never got along with the company very well; I always insisted on quality, doing it right and doing it honest.. I butted head with management daily).

The above is the WWTP office and the bunker we were making up around it. Sort of a cool man-cave when it was done. :)

The above is me with the SCW (Sub Contract Workers) I worked with. All incredible hard working guys from India/The Philippians. Greater integrity and character than any of the guys I worked with in the company itself.

I took the above picture while inside an outhouse. As yo know taking pictures on Cropper was 'at your own risk'. A big no-no. So what I took/share is always stuff generic and not revealing. The building here is the gym.

Not so young former frequent IL2 on-line player (now from time to time), i loved SH3 as well, but not so much SH4 (less fascinating), with SH5 the thrill is back! I really appreciated the approach of the game, the possibility to move a see what's going on inside the sub. I's all very immersive and drammatic. It surely deserves joining a community. A great community like this.
Hi all!!

hi,
Im Michiel from Belgium im 20 years old i guess im one of the youngest around here, im interested in WW2 my whole life, i made models from tanks and ships when i was 10 years old.
i heared about silent hunter when i was 10-12 years old when my best mate dad played silent hunter 2 or 3 im not sure. last year i played SH4 for a while but i quited because of WoW. now im tired of WoW and bought SH5, i still suck at the game because i dont know much tactics and stuff so im restarting almost every week with SH5 till i know it a little :)

Name's Noel.

Been gaming since '84 (at the ripe ol' age of 4 with King's Quest). Simulators started with MSFS 2.0. I've bought too many to count through the years, but they've centered around flight simulators and sub simulators... MSFS, X-Plane, Il-2, Aces Over Europe, Aces of the Pacific, Falcon 3, Falcon 4, Falcon AF, DCS Blackshark, A10 TK 2, Aces of the Deep, SH3 through 5, etc. I dabble a bit in some RPG's, mostly the Elder Scrolls series and Fallout. Every now and then I'll pick up a FPS or RTS just for kicks, when I feel the need to make things go boom without a lot of thinking.

As for the rest of my interests: radio control model aircraft, general fix-it guy (cars & general woodworking, gadgets, etc). I'm a bit of a Subaru fanatic, so don't get me started on the topic if you don't have an hour to kill. I love my music, but my taste is eclectic... anything from old country/rock (Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, etc) to Pink Floyd... got a thing for Celtic Rock, too. Discovering Avalon Rising right now (thanks Buddahaid http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/smartdark/viewpost.gif!). Big into Linux, an "alternative" operating system. For those less computer orientated, it ain't Windows :D.

Been working for the Geek Squad as a "Double Agent" (In Home Service) for the past five years. It's not horrible work, but it combines the best (and worst) of dealing with the general public and computer services. It pays the bills, and has some really nice perks.

Hi

I'm Scott.
http://standardcommunication.net/Scott01.jpg
I've been in the computer gaming world for as long as I can remember. This includes Asteroids on the Atari 2600 and Parsec on the TI-99/4A. I've also been building and fixing computers for as long as I can remember. I have a lot of things that keep me occupied. Work, Silent Hunter series games, Guild Wars, and various computer and car projects. SH3 was the first of the Silent Hunter series I've come across and been on and off, but lately I've been on more and more playing and becoming more involved with the SH Series games and the SubSim Community.
Glad to be here!:up:

Schiff Ahoi - Operation Rheinuebung
 

Hi,

I blame it on Toshiba back in 2005 I bought a Toshiba Satellite M40 laptop for photography in the first instance and to find out whether the computer would run graphical games I bought a few Sims (initially car related which did not hold my interest), then IL-2, Pacific Fighter and IL 1946 using NaturalPoint TrackIR. I still fly occasionally but when I saw a review at SimHQ about SH3 (2007) I had to buy it. I enjoy playing chess and U-Boot Sims are essentially Chess on the Water with a bit more action ;) - . I live in NZ but was born in Australia and I lived in Germany for a period of time. My great uncle was on the battleship Bismarck - he was a radio operator (died at age 23). I work in the IT services industry.

Currently I use SH5 on a Toshiba X500 (i7, 4GB RAM, GTS 250M graphics with 1GB of GDDR5) seems to be ok for the Sim. I have a lot of respect for the great work the Modders are doing and used GWX 3.0 on SH3 (purchased of Subsim). I am looking forward to more comprehensive patches and advanced mods for SH5.

Also, weiterhin gute Fahrt! Happy hunting, Mike :arrgh!:

Lomaric-

37 years of age and live in Connecticut. I am currently on my 19th year as a US Submariner. I am a Sonar Technician currently stationed onboard the USS Missouri (SSN780) which will be commissoned here in about 2 months. USS Missouri is a Virgina Class Submarine, the newest fast attack submarine in the US Fleet.

I have been playing submarine simulators since my C64 days with Silent Service, I was so amazed with that game. I picked up a copy of Silent Hunter on my second trip to Hawaii while onboard the USS Alaska (SSBN-732) and my buddy and myself spent the next 2 days playing the game onboard until we left port.

I don't get around to posting on Subsim much but I try and read the forums as much as possible. My schedule is very busy with the work-up for our initial run, but if you want talk subs I will try and reply. lomaric@hotmail.com

Permission To Come Aboard Sir?
 

Hello one and all. My name is Aaron Tataryn. I'm 36 years old, and its good to be aboard. Ive been an avid subsim player since the release of SH3. I used to be a sonar operator in the Canadian Navy, aboard the Canadian Patrol Frigate H.M.C.S. Ottawa, during which time I was primarily involved in ASW activity. I was posted to Canada's Pacific Fleet and based at C.F.B. Esquimalt on Vancouver Island. My Navy days are over now, my sea legs are gone, but hunting with sonar and torpedoes is still near and dear to my heart and I still get massive thrills from it, even if it is done on my PC. My main interests are submarines (heh), history and strategy. I like to write and I play the guitar. I live in Victoria, British Columbia on Vancouver Island, and life is fine here.

The truth is: SH5 has all the potential in the world to become the best subsim ever made, but currently it falls well short of this goal. Luckily though, the SH series has always enjoyed massive improvements by some of the best that the modding community has to offer, and its getting better all the time. I'm not a modder yet myself but I hope to learn the basics here and until then, help out in any way I can through testing, feedback and such. I'm really looking forward to the future of SH5. Good Hunting!

Greets,

I am completely new to sub sims. Flight simulation has always been my hobby, but when SH5 was released, I had to jump in (no pun intended).

Being an experienced flight simmer, and a noob at sub sims, I am very thankful to you all for providing the assistance you do. It is good to see that, like flight simming, there are tons of simmers who wish to do what they can to help we greenhorns.

Thanks!
Chip B.

Guten tag,
