ok ok, I got it. :D

my statement was slightly too rigid.
(but Curd J with white hair was not the ideal actor, imho. but he did very good!!)

:D

To be fair I only know that because I read it on Wikipedia when I looked up the movie again before bumping it to the top of my Netflix queue.* I remembered he was some kind of navy dude who served on the ship, and was pretty sure he was the commander.





*This morning. :oops:

yeah Wikipedia and Google took all the fun out of being a trivia-geek. :nope:

Probably. Im sure someone will at some point, and someone else will probably expand on it. The mod shop for SH5 doesn't seem to be lacking in variety.

thx Ducimus for the reply.
I'm quite uncertain of some aspects of the new SH-sim, if I will like them or not.

thx again :salute:

Too true.

I lost lots of cred at work when my coworkers upstairs finally got internet access. My particular job has me in an office off to myself, completely removed from normal office traffic. For a good five years or so it also meant I was the only person there with a 'net connection.

I was always the go-to person for trivia in our office, but once I had the internet there was (apparently) NO question I couldn't answer. They'd buzz down on the intercom and before they'd even finish asking the question I'd have googled the subject and be ready with the answer.

Now everybody's got Google and they know all my secrets!

Almost interesting trivia about Curd. During the filming of this movie, he stayed in his hotel room while not at the studio. He never went out until the movie was completed, although the rest of the crew went out partying.

The reason? In the movie Curd went unshaven, and he just could not bring him self to be seen in public looking like a zshlub. After the movie wrapped, he shaved and started going out.


I told you it was almost interesting.

one more trivia:
the german title of the movie: "Duell im Atlantik"

(there's no need for translation, I guess) :03:

Bad Translator says that means Atorantikkudaro. :O:

Give it time. It'll work itself out nicely i think. It just needs time. There are some aspects of SH5, that will eventually blow SH3 clean out of the water. Take the AI for instance. In SH3 and SH4 its relatively dumb, and works on simplistic terms.

From discussions ive seen on SH5, it looks like its entirely possible to get the AI to do real world strategems attacks like the Raspberry, pineapple, or a creeping attack. Johnny walker might end up being proud of those tin cans in SH5 if he were alive me thinks.

You say that like it's a good thing. :stare:

I've been meaning to ask, Suppose you were to know the exact details of Artichoke, Raspberry, et cetera, and you were a U-boat commander. What, if anything, can be done to defeat those maneuvers? (Setting aside 'Kill the escorts' option, which is always a good one.)

Well with Raspberries I like to make a nice vinaigrette...

Here's the 5 hour version on Amazon:

I have the 82 version on laser disc[remember those they didn't last too long] but anyway the reporters notes were in english. the disc had subtitles but you could set it for the dubbed version but the subtitles stayed.and they don't quite match the subtitles very interesting

Here's some more Enemy Below Trivia which just occured to me....David Hedison who was Lt.Ware in the film went on to play Submarine captain Lee Crane in the 60's Sci-Fi series Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.I use to lwatch that series as a kid...I think it was set in the future sometime around 1981....I can still remember one episode where some of the crew were swallowed by a whale(no I'm not joking)...Haven't seen it was first aired.
