I play all kinda stuff, whatever i can find on my pc. Tho when missions get serious and tense I switch to historic music to get in the mood a bit better. The gramaphone is nice, but i added extra ww2 songs plus alot of classic (Dvorak mostly).

I play U2 mainly, on the stereo near the computer. When i slow TC down to 8 or lower, I turn down Bono and throw on the headphones to listen to the sounds etc. Especially when im being DC'd, i dont look outside then and have to rely on my ears.

other=stock. i like that they included Panzer Lied, got the lyrics here somewhere, Battle of Britain, Lili Marlene, and a piece by Wagner used in John Boormans Excalibur

Mostly experimental, minimal, or intelligent electronica in the vein of Murcof, Robert Henke, Vladislav Delay, Deaf Center or the post-classical ambient drone group Stars of the Lid. All might sound a bit weird for a WWII U-boat sim but it makes it feel like a contemporary pondering of the subject.

for me Piaf, Dietrichn, Tino Rossi, Luis Mariano, Vera Lynn and other stuf like german propaganda, LA MARSEILLAISE FROM PIAF IS FORBIDDEN :cry:

Same here.

no music while playing...
 

just distracts me :down:

You want to try a surface chase of a convoy in rough weather with Wagners 'Flight of the Valkyrie' blasting............most exhilerating. :up:

Horst Wessel Lied and other "Stirring and Emotional Songs"

:sunny: Victory At Sea :sunny:

Durring travel time in Silent Hunter III, it's all period German music for me. I think it adds to the immersion a lot.

When playing other naval games like Dangerous Waters, Sub Command and so on... I don't like to listen to any music. I much prefer the ambient sound of the submarine's engines and the realistic sub sounds. When I play these games, I tend to crank the volume so the ambient stuff is loud and with the surround sound system I have in this room (It doubles as a home reccording studio), when the door is closed, it really makes me feel like my room really is 1000 feet down moving through the water like shark hunting for prey.

Immersion is a BIG thing for me when playing a sim.

I generally dont listen to music much while playing SH3. Every now and then I throw on Long way to Tiperary or something, but usually its silence. I usually watch TV or something when I play, and then ignore everything but the screen whenever something is sighted.

But if I ever listen to anything outside SH3 (like on my iPod or something while I play), its usually some sub-genere of Metal, but I'm also strange that way.

I deleted all the stock gramaphone tracks and put a collection of WWII original songs, german war songs, soviet war songs, etc, it gives a lot more WWII ambient. The best song is "Tipperary" (red army version) played at "Das boot" :rock:

For me it's nordic death metal. Perfect u-boat music. My favorite band is Emperor.

Edith all the way:up:
