The big differences in german speech in SHIII are because mods usually only change the german speech files. :up:

For example the 'message received'; in german speech for me, there´s the sound of morsing (is that even a word? :) ).

German speech all the way, mann :up:

I'm not a German sprecher either but after playing SH3 for a year in Deutche only, I understand all the commands and reports as soon as I hear them without reading the English translations.

WWII wargaming helps too, you can't help but gain some understanding of German military terms.

With SH3 I have added the naval aspect to my limited German language skills. :know:

German speech all the way here as well..

I dont speak any German as well but with the English text I can see what they are saying..Using the English speech is simply a total immersion killer.And I am also learning the commands and reports without the need to see the text somewhat now as well.

I honestly never thought about German speech in the game. No wonder something seemed weird about the sailors speaking in English! :lol: I guess I'll go switch to German in that case.

Im Dutch, of course I have German speech on.

The thought alone of hearing English on a u-boat makes me cringe almost as much as hearing John Wayne speaking German in Western movies. :D

Don't you mean "hearing John Wayne speaking in ANY movie". :rotfl:

Wulfmann 04-16-06 06:32 PM

I speak barely enough German to understand enough to not know what they are saying :rotfl:

I have used german from the befginning and one quickly can understand what the few thing relayed are so do not need to read the text.

Once I did a reinstall and forgot to set it to German :huh:
I can not imagine playing this with the pathetic english voices. If they had quirky German accent English I might understand some doing English but it is so pathetic and an immersion killer, IMO

To each their own, I guess.

All I hope is that they can at least find a good, authentic-sounding American voice cast for SHIV :yep:

Really dont care for yank voice over's, to many games with yank voices as is (that the 1 thing thats making me cringe about SH4), but luckily like always, I can redo the voices to English and/or Aussie. Did it to SH3, will do so to SH4.

The first time I head the german voices in SH3 I yelled at the PC "ENGLISH - DO YOU SPEAK IT MOTHER FÚ¢KÉ®" (I hadn't corrected the options to english, I did right after that) :lol:

Yeah I have a short fuse ;)

Same here. I've been playing in German since SHII, although I don't speak it. Funny thing is, I used Game Commander with SHII and a German language file so I could issue voice commands in German. I was also using the Projekt Schwertfisch sound mod; talk about immersion! It took me a few games to get the hang of issuing my orders; then it was second nature. It was great saying "spargel auf" and watching the attack scope slide up. I can't order a beer or find the bathroom in German, but I can sure crash-dive and launch torpedoes!
:D

The moment i got the game i turned on the german speech and shortly thereafter the text went to german aswell. It really makes it a whole deal more of fun and seems to give it a little more as what one seems to be getting in english.

I did once try the english though, but it sounded so lame i instantly went back again.

Being Dutch and living next to Germany i suppose makes it conveniently more natural for me anyway but after seeing Das Boot how could one play this game with the English option on ? It just is not the same...

*shrug*

I played SH2 and now SH3 with English. Honestly doesn't bother me.

When I'm being hunted, it doesn't much matter. Either there's tension from that or there isn't. Being in a tense situation and not understanding what's being said could certainly add to the tension, but I don't find it necessary.

Maybe the game's just too easy for everyone else.

;)

But I must admit, I have tuned my speech files with voices from the "Das Boot" movie... For example I love the yell of Ralf Richter during crashdive, "Alaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarm, fluuuuuuuten!!!"

For attack runs I have on my grammophone the track named "Konvoi" from Klaus Doldingers Music CD. For those who can´t figure out which one it is, it´s the music played during the surface run against the convoy and the run towards the african coast in gibraltar after the air attack. This music simply rockz :rock:

When you run at flank speed at night against a convoy with this music.... s shiver running down your spine is for sure :D

Try my cover of the DBSM sound mod, available from Terrapin's site. The DBSM guys did an incredible coversion from the movie.

I also will never use the English files in a U-boat. SHIV will be another story, of course.

Ultraboy 04-18-06 03:06 AM

Well, I certainly respect everyone's opinion, I guess the authenticity of the voiceover just isn't that big of a deal to me. To each their own, as they say.

And on that note, for anyone who does get a kick out of frighteningly authentic voiceovers... you must, must, hear the Chinese crew voiceover in Dangerous Waters!

It is quite simply, the gold standard. :smug:
