How many of you actually served ON a sub?
 
Hello everyone, :|\\

My instincts have had me to present 2 questions, one here another, of the same ilk on the SH3 threads.

My questions for YOU, the simmers:
Who if ANY of you actually served on a WWII or Cold war or Nuclear (modern) sub?

I ask this because some posters, most, seem to know what the heck they say when speaking of sub tech or warfare strategy issues and BTW...for the bitchers out there, thank UBIsoft for producing a subsim whose genre would have probably have died out in the early 90's. Thank you UBIsoft!

Slowly sinking into the Atlantic..........hellas1 :|\\ Until I post again............

I never served on a sub but one one my uncles did in the old Soviet Union(Cold War):yep: . He was the accustics guy.
I've only been lucky enough to walk around on board of the Red Scorpion russian sub.Pretty cool stuff but in reality i'd rather fly a fighter plane instead of sailing on a submarine :D

For those of you guys that did sevice, what do you think of SH-4?

Tell you what, went to the mod forum, picked the ones that help or fix the game in it's present state, LUV it after using the mods. I am sick and tired of all thse people BITCHING endlessly about this and that. I play the game [thanks to to the MOD folks] to no end with NO PROBLEMS.

I am sick and tired of reading hundreds of posts of people ragging.

It's a good game [after the mod fixes]. Cut them some slack for a little while. Patience is a VIRTUE.

SubSim.com will see a contribution soon from me. Asshats bitch and moan and NEVER contribute nothing other than their rants.

Remind me to post a picture of an asshat, if you share my feelings.

If I had served on one then the Navy has begun recruiting minors... every day it seems more likely though...:roll:
