- - What the first five things you will do when you load up SHV for the first time? (https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=157336)

1. Start up career at Kiel August 15 or something, 1939 (hope so)
2. Set realism to full minus external camera
3. Get orders from FdU to deploy to the Atlantic for waiting positions
4. Get departed from Kiel, notice couple small problems before Kiel-Holtenau locks, and set course back to berth.
5. Report FdU: "Waiting for modders coming in,Sir!"

That's what I'm gonna do... ;)

Greetings,
-RC-

1) Start a rerun of Das boot on video player few feet away from pc
2) boil the jug have coffee supplies ready
3) Load up SHV & watch intro and drool
4) check out the interface menu and museum & drool some more
5) start a new career skipping the training missions on purpose. (I ain't got time for training i need to get out to sea in my brand new VIIC!)

Reality will be like it was with SH3 and SH4 as soon as i got the games and played them for the first time, my gametime was anything from 18 to 22hrs with coffee breaks. SH5 will be no different, probably much longer :D

(1) run game (2) have a coffee ovor selection, appropriate stats und rankings ov mein chosen crew to report to docking bay, wherapon ze offizers vil de louse, check kit, line all for inspection. (3) make a worthy speech to mein 22inch flat screen about duty, dedication, devotion, comradere to the f...land, das boot , and ... er donitz. (4) fall out to boot und correct stations. Eye ball my offizers to let them no whose the capt. Alas after all initial inner, outer and operational inspections are completed, CHECK ze toilet is clear of some provisons way b4 1st dive!!! (5) :hmmm:Run down to my electricity meter lol, lock the door, put on ze skippers hat, assign crew to deck for higherarchy , band, departure send off. put on a fake smile as i stand with an air of importance. order ahead slow, face the other way wipe the smile off as i gaze into kiel , the war machines, nurses, sky, children waving, of whats to befold of us in a few days!! one smashing a keyboard or one racing to beat prien to scapa and glory.

Lock my bedroom door so no one disturbs me for 5 days.

Come out after 5 days, grown beard and stinking, just like the sailors.

This might be 1.)

From fictionate u-boat hand book:

" When as high as a kite , move to 40 meters and sit it out "
