Welcome to SubSim....from your namesake :sunny:

Ahoy mateys! (Clichéd enough for you all? ;))

I'm Nix (Rich), 22 and got into SH3 a while ago. Then the whole moving out bit of life took part and it appears i've lost all my skills for the seas upon installing SH5!!

I live just outside of London in Hertfordshire and looking forward to being a fellow subsimmer! But definitely have a lot to learn:yeah:

Hey Guys
 

My name is Red. I got SH5 several months ago but got frustrated with it and moved on. Now Im back and trying to give it another try. I have never played a sub sim game before and I find it all new, but fun.

Hello, my name is Andreas from Germany. I live near Cologne and started with SH II, like to play III and I don't know what do do with V. IV is not opened, yet.
I'm very interested in submarines, the technical and historic aspects of them.

I'm member of the German submarin museum in Cuxhaven Altenbruch which is well known and a great source for diving into all submarine subjects: http://www.dubm.de

Hmm...registered here in 2005 and dont think I've ever introduced myself.

Started off with sub sims with Red Oktober back on the C64 a long time ago.

Graduated to Aces of the Deep and Silent Service, before upgrading to SHIII. I stopped playing SHIII a while back but with the release of SH5, I bought it (SH5) but it just didn't feel the same as SHIII.

I re-installed SHIII with GWX recently and have been enjoying it. Having said that, I have given SH5 another chance...

... with TDW's mega mod and a couple of other mods. Well, I have to say I love it. Now if the campaign is as good as SHIII I will stick with SH5.

Just wish there was a SH5 commander :)

Hi all,

My name is Richard. I have been playing the Silent Hunter Franchise since SH2. I have been at periscope depth for quite a while now and thought I had better say hello and thanks to all the people who have spent the time writing/posting tutorials and or Mods.

Welcome Aboard to you all http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...es/welcome.gif

Welcome to SUBSIM :yep::up:

I would post a picture but I have no digital images to share at this time.

My name is Mike and I have been playing PC games since I was about 14, I started with Mechwarrior 2 and other sci fi sims and moved to Jane's combat sims because I liked the idea of learning about the featured platforms.

For a long time I played 688(I) and got pretty good at it for a kid of that age, then I saw Das Boot...

I craved that kind of experience but at the time I was unaware of the Silent Hunter series so that interest kind of took a backseat to getting better at Counterstrike and the like.

For a long dark time I was really only able to play console games (xbox and xbox 360) because my computer just could not handle any new games, though I did find out about Silent Hunter and purchased SH3 from direct2drive.

I was blown away, the amount of immersion was so amazing and the ability to apply real tactics that the WWII aces used was something that I could not get enough of.

Now that I have a new computer up and running, I have been playing SH4 and SH5 and really enjoying both of them. (sugar boats FTW!!)

When I am not commanding a S-boat or a U-boat, I am working at home depot, reading various books, playing blues and jazz guitar and trying my hand at writing (expect some patrol reports!)

Born and raised in VT but living in Providence RI...I gotta get over to battleship cove sometime to see the Sub they have...anyone care to attend with me?

Hello :)

My name is John but most refer to me as Jack or Jax. After a famous quote from Al Pacino in Scent of a woman where he wanted the bar in his room covered with bottles of John Daniels and his counterpart answered "don't you mean Jack Daniels Sir?" Pacino said, He may be Jack to you son, but when you've known him as long as I have...

Hence...Jax

I am a nearly 50 year old kid and and being of that age immersed in what mayhem WWII brought to our parents and elders. Then school and books furthered and deepened the knowledge or stories from our elders. Our generation or much of them at least, got fascinated. Both fascinited and appauled by its horrors and the people whom suffered them or implied them, the technical novelties it brought, sometimes its beauty too or the heroism on either part, the sheer bestiality of it. On many issues as humans it brought us back centuries to what man really is, a beast, an animal. Kill or be killed, eat to not get eaten. And out of that mayhem, out of that horror a new world humanism rose. A better one, not yet perfect but surely a better one. That in part explains my fascination to SHIII and 5. The duality of it. The kid playing a U boat captain with all his chevalry and loyalty to his nation or ideology yet destroying vessels with people on board to win a war. The kid trying to win over an artificial intelligence and when done so upping a level in realism to win again. We, I, see this as playing but when I really start thinking about it, it amazes me what I actually am. How the hell can I be so exalted after sinking a vessel with 1500 people on board. Or with tons of food that would stop people from starving? The kid that wants to beat the AI I hope.
That said, I am not a lunatic or a depressed human wreck, I just enjoy beating the AI. And well, the enemy I beat is computer generated. No lives are taken or destroyed. The theater of war when the kid plays is virtual and luckely so. The 50 year old man is an IT manager from Belgium whom likes to travel, whom is happy with his wife. Even expecting a newborn! Reads, watches movies, loves football(soccer) a good glass of Champagne or a decent beer with his best friends. In short, the small things in life which makes it worth living. :DL

A man and a kid that is who I am....and I do so love them both. Duality.....
Btw...I am so envious of all in this forum that can play an instrument or have an artistic talent! I really suck at that:cry:
