Elo guys,
, I live in the UK and I'm currently a student in Southampton. I've just joined the site, I've been playing sub sims ever since I picked up Aces of the Deep, in fact I played aces of the deep right up to when I bought SH3, and have taken things from there. At the moment I'm really trying to get into SH5 but the manual targeting systems is frankly doing my head in as well if I'm honest I miss all of the dials and knobs on the TDC but oh well I'l crack it eventually (or die trying)

Welcome and good hunting! :salute:

You might want to try using this terrific mod from The Dark Wraith:

You might feel more comfortable.

Although, I prefer to use the more interactive interior dials and crew as my UI. I turn off the too-modern-looking HUD as much as possible. :D

( cough ) hi ! I'm Dead Pixel :dead: . I played with SH 1 , SH 3 and now inside of SH 5.
Living in London , but without fixed abode. I like to congratulate you guys on one of the most civilized and helpful forum I come across in my lifetime , and trust me there were many.
thank you :sunny:

Hello,

I have been away for awhile. And have found the time to play some Silent Hunter and I am greeted with SHV.

But I see also that the reviews are not glowing for this game. So I have been reading that 2 patches have surfaced so far.

Is the game playable with the current patches?

Thank You for your time. :)

The short answer is "Yes!" :yeah:

However, you'll want to check out the various mods now available that will greatly enhance your playing experience! :rock:

You'll also want to read the various Tips, Tricks and How-To threads to make up for the pathetic manual. Happy hunting! :salute:

Hi I'm Hooch
 

Short intro.
just bought SH5 special edition and have downloaded some mods already and must say it looks pretty awesome.
My nickname was coined when I was in the Australian Navy as a radioman aboard the O class Submarines, The sub I served on was first put to sea in 72 and in looks and design wasn't all that different from the u boats of the second world war.
So you can see why this game is of such interest to me. enjoying it immensely.
:ping:

greetings

Played mutch on multiplayer on sh 4 hope to do the same on sh 5..

Welcome aboard guys:salute:

I'm already being here for a while, since the days of SHII / DC!:)

So my name is Frank, currently 45 years old and I live in a small village south of the German city of Hamburg. Until the early 90s, I served eight years as a Anti Submarine Warfare Petty Officer on these two destroyers.

After that I studied computer science and after three years as an employee for a software company, I change my status 1996 into a freelance software developer. Since then I've worked in various development projects mainly for defense, federal agencies and industry. Anyone who has purchased a new Porsche within the last six years can assume that alot of parts was welded by welding-robots controled by a software I developed.:D

My gaming career began in 1980 with the Atari VCS and went on various home computers and PCs until today.

That's me:

Pretty cool! :yeah:

I've only ever had the virtual submarine experience. Although, with each new iteration of Silent Hunter, it keeps getting better and better!

Welcome aboard! :salute:

Hi, my name is Luis, I´m from Spain, 38 years old.
Been playing sims since.....pfff, :hmmm: can´t remember the old days... (earlier than Chuck Yeagers air combat:03: )
Lately I´ve been playing as infantry man on Red Orchestra and Arma II: Combined Operations, but missing Lock on and IL2.
While I was looking for them, I founded down there, in the bottom of the cardboard box my SH 3, installed it, applied some mods, played for 2 hours....and purchased a copy of SH V :D
Nice to meet you all :salute:

.Bienvenido :salute:
