Hello guys! Newbie here, I am in England and live near Thornaby where that pesky airbase is located. :up:

I played SH3 years ago but for only a short time as I was busy with school. I really enjoyed it though, even though I am not really a sub fan (more fixed-wing modern-day fighters for me, like Falcon 4 BMS), the detail and accuracy of the simulation still hooked me.

I was vaguely aware of SH5's launch but initial reviews said it suxx so I passed on it. Unfortunately, I noticed it on sale for £5 so I thought to myself, "I'll give it a go, surely they've ironed out the bugs by now!" So now I have it, installed and patched to 1.2. Two missions later and I confirm I suck at this, so now I am doing some self study and watching stoianm's excellent tutorials.

Thanks for this great community and thanks for keeping SH alive!

Welcome...always good to see another Brit on here :sunny:

Ahoy
 

Ahoy virtual submariners.

I am from Ontario, Canada near the US border. I have played SH3 in times past, but at the time I did not know of this great community and I probally would have played much more of it.

I recently SH5 after watching J2's LP, and wanted to check it out myself. I am having a blast now the game is all modded up. Thanks to those smarter than I who can make things I can not for free, for you made this game great. I feel Ubisoft needs to hire all the modders here, so they can actually come out with a playable game at launch....... now that I think about all game companies need to hire modders, as I do not think I own any games that havent been heavily modded. I digress though, just wanted to introduce myself and say thanks.

Hello all
 

Hello all. I started with SH4 and just built a better PC. Decided to give this SH5 a try off of Steam. I've been a long time lurker but finally decide to join the site and give thanks for all the helpful info on this forum. Since im a noob at mods and all I hope all my questions can be answered!

WELCOME ABOARD, both of you! :sunny:

Welcome one and all :salute:

Welcome :sunny:

Hello all! Not new to the forums but new to SH5. Thought I would give it a go since I have heard good things since it's been modded. I have been looking throught the postings and does it seem as difficult as it looks to mod this game? I am looking to use TDW's mod to begin with. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hello Sniper450, this is a good thread to begin with:

Greetings, Kaleuns! Reporting for duty after a long absence. I'm an old SHIII GWX veteran, now trying something new. Thanks to all the modders who made this game a joy to play.
:salute:

Hi all.
Finally have a PC that can handle SH5 (I hope).
Looking forward to giving it a go and trying some mods
:D

This game is awesome! I have OHII and TDW UI's on board and so far so good...only had an issue that i havent resolved selecting the coastal waters mission. No icon to select but im trying and checking other posts to see what I can find.

Welcome :sunny:

Hi I am Victor from the Netherlands, I used to play SH3 a lot, but it doesn't work anymore on my Eindows 7 system. So now I restarted the nostalgia with SH5, Great mods and great forum! Thanks! :up:

Hi im Joško from Croatia,im 21 and I played all silent hunter games starting from sh2, even tried the first one once.I really want to learn to play SH5 with 100% realism but lack of time and crashing of tutorials with mymegamod 0.5 is keeping me from realising this.Also i dont have an internet conection at home so i am not usualy active at forums of any sort...anyways i consider this forum a heaven for subsimers.Cheers to all:salute:

Good evening all.

I never knew subsim existed!

As a long time fan of Silent Hunter III I couldn't wait for SH4 to arrive.
It sucked. However I think a lot of this was down to the fact that my system was just on the parameters for running it. I gladly went back to SH3.

When I read that SH5 was coming out I was excited for the game and sad that I knew I wouldn't have a system good enough to run it.

It has only been this last week that I have finally got a computer powerful enough (way powerful infact) to run SH5 so I waded into eBay and bought myself a copy of my long awaited game.

Graphics? Blown away. Especially since my new computer can run evrything at max without issue.

Gameplay? Seems to take a little getting used to after SH III.

However I think I have a pretty raw game and I need a good few patches. For example, whin I dive after being up on deck I can still see my crew manning their stations on the deck if I look through the periscope while we are diving! Also my radio and sonar men seem unable to tell me anything at all. The frist I know of enemy ships is when they are in my binoculars.

I have looked at the glitches thread and I am a little disheartened to see it runs to over 80 pages. I haven't a clue where to look for patches and I am so late to this game I am sure I will need many of them.

To be honest I am wondering if it is all worth it and if I shouldn't just reload my beloved SH III onto my new computer and welcome back an old friend.

Or maybe I should just stick to World of Tanks...:cry:
