New Captain
 

Hello everyone, name is Zach, and back in the day I was an avid player of SHII (But I was a 11 so I cheated alot). I just recently got SHIII and fell in love with the series all over again.

I have two quick (pobably borderline stupid) questions to ask:

1. What does Kaluen mean?

2. When attempting to evade a destroyer group, and they are pinging you, will facing directly away from them or directly at them reduce your signature to them or will it remain the same?

Welcome to Subsim.

1. Kaleun in the Kriegsmarine was abbrevation for the captain of the Uboot who usually held the rank of Kapitanleutnant.
You can find more here: http://www.uboat.net/special/abbrevat.htm

2. I think yes. You should keep your engines at 75rpm which give you a speed of 1 kt. This has to be set manually as the "silent running" option of the game sets speed to 2 kts. You have to use "silent running" to keep the noise down: it stops the pumps and the reloading of torpedoes.

WELCOME ABOARD! :sunny:

VonHarris has answered you questions, so I'll ask you one - have you ever seen Das Boot?

Welcome aboard Kaleun FlechenSabre :salute:

Best regards.

Welcome to SubSim Zach!
 

:ahoy:

Actually I have not seen Das Boot, but I will put it on my list of movies to watch.

Thank you for the warm welcome all and for anwsering the questions. I might have a few more as I remember them.

Good. The sooner you see it the better for you, as all u-boat subsims are based on the movie, and you'll recognize the interiors as soon as you see them.

Hi FlechenSabre! Welcome to Subsim.:salute:

Welcome Aboard :sunny:

1. Enjoy the movie and tell us what do you think of it.
If possible , watch the German speaking version.


2. Fell free to ask any questions you want.

Mod installation order?
 

Hello,
I am new to SH5 having just bought and installed the game. What are the suggestions for installing the mods? Also in what order should they be done?

Welcome to Subsim.

Are using that as a signature?
If yes go to UserCP-->Edit signature and delete it.

BTW , it is a nice piece of art.

Hope I helped.

Welcome Blindside :sunny:

WatGoingched Das Boot last night, absolutely wonderful movie, even encouraged me to pump the realism up to 100%! I also got GWX, my god the game is so alive now. Going out on patrol tonight in a VIIC

Welcome to SubSim FlechenSabre!
 

:salute: Good Luck!

Sorry about the weird spelling, smartphone likes to act stupid. Does La Rochelle have the accurate wolf pens and canal or did ubi cheat? Feels like something they would skip over. If not then Brest as usual...

Well,pretty much every harbor that was not corrected by GWX is unrealistic.
