Hi I am 32, i am from czech rep. and played sims since good old Microprose times. (my favorite game studio)

I am more of a flight sim (falcon 4, FC 2, IL 2, Black shark, FSX) fan but always played other sims (SH II, Arma II)

Never had time to play SH III (played a bit) and SH IV (skipped), but i bought SH V to support subsim genre so I registered here and hope someone will help he with my rookie skills in sub simulators.

Welcome jctrnacty:salute: , Silent Hunter 5 is improving day by day with Mods :DL and therefore becoming better and better

Greetings fellow U-Boat Commanders
 

Kapitänleutnant Siegmann back from the grave!

Hello everyone. Glad to be back after a fairly length hiatus. I'm Brian, age 21, residing in Bloomington, Indiana. Favorite sports are golf and auto racing (specifically F1). I'm usually seen with a camera in hand or reading a book. I actually just got my hands on an English translated copy of the U-Boat Commander's Handbook, 1942, so I've been buried in that.

Just now beginning to study engineering with the end goal to be an F1 designer. We'll see, lol. Hope to get reacquainted with everyone here and hope to share many a wonderful tales from the Atlantic! Best wishes and regards!

Edit: I'm sure I'll figure it out soon enough once I dig through the forums, but anyone care to briefly enlighten me as to what GWX is up to these days? :)

Hello from down under
 

Hi everyone :salute:,

my name is Huey, born in Germany some 40 years ago. My father served in the Navy during WWII but not on an U-Boot, myself some eight years in the Armed Forces doing some logistics.

Since the Olympics 2000 I'm in Sydney, Australia. My first game I bought was Sim City 2, enjoyed playing Wings, Doom etc. Mostly sims now, Football Manager since 08, Sim City 4 plus a ton of mods, Anno 1404 etc.

Loved F1 racing games and Helicopter and other flight sims such as EF2000, Apache Helicopter.... so many games, so little time :DL

Ah, and I played Silent Hunter III with the great Grey Wolves plus some other mods, then Silent Hunter IV and now somewhat dissapointed new with number V... need to download and install some mods I guess.

Hey dude.. im in brisbane.... i only play sh3 but

Yes, mods are necessary to really enjoy this game. They shouldn't be, but they are. Luckily, there are a host of great mods available that make SH5 the best of the series (IMHO).

Welcome and happy hunting! :salute:

Hi, I'm John original from Chicago, moved to Alaska to go to Grad school. I have watch Das Boot a billion times and still love it today. I was hoping for SH5 to be more of an great experience, but was dissappointed in the new things that were add and the old stuff that was not kept.
I was hoping the the interior of the entire sub to be a bit more cozy if you get what I mean. The engine room to be dirty and the sub to be darker. The lighing is awesome but not spectaluar in the sub. :(. A more realistic approuch, but beside that the game is alright thank you for modding all the modders out there it help a lot.:damn:

I agree :DL, more dirty and more rusty spots :up:

Hi all, I'm Mike Collins been playing sub-sims since AOTD, there is just somthing about submarines...........I am 59 years young and have just moved back to the UK from Tenerife where I lived with my beautiful wife for 7 years. I have a BSc in computer science and true to form for this day and age, can't get a job! I honestly believe SH5 is going to be the best sub-sim ever, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank "all" of the modders that have made this hobby so enjoyable and also Neil for this website. I have several other interests including SCUBA, Archeology and Quantum Theory. In June of 2011 I am lucky enough to have been invited to join the dig on the Pyramid of Sun in Visoco Bosnia, I can't wait to get into the 20 plus kilometres of tunnels they have started to clear. I think there could be some Earth shaking discoveries to be made there. Also like to offer my services as a tester for anyone who needs new mods tried out, just email me at the address in my sig. Nice to meet you all.:arrgh!:

Welcome back to SubSim, Mike.

I guess, as I have popped my head above the parapet for the first time in ages. Its polite to say hello. I have been lurking on this board i guess around five years or so. I play SH3 GWX Gold mostly.. and a bit of SH4 however I am gradually finding myself sucked into SH5 since I upgraded my pc, and the mods made it playable. I live in Fremantle, Australia where I am an historic tour guide around the town. Plenty of submarine history here. I just want to thank you lot for the Mods over the years.. its been a great distraction on the rare moments when I find ME time. Nothing better than the sound of bulkheads collapsing on a peaceful day off.

Thank you my friend, it's good to be back

Welcome aboard, Herr Kaleun! :salute:

It is really nice to see SH5 turning into such a fine game.
