Subsim enthusiasts by age?
 
I have never seen this posted. I believe I have a worthy question. I found this game a few months ago and really got into it.

I am age 61.

Curious to know the mean age of members here.

Where are the most players?, under 30 yrs?, 30-50 yrs?, or over 50yrs?

If my valid question falls into the realm of a meaningless thread, I won't be alone..........Shipsrus.

55 coming up. Once I learned how to spell curmudgeon it sounded like a goal to aspire to.

I turned 22 yesterday.

It has always appeared to me that the subsim genre attracts an older demographic. And rightfully so; Young people these days seem to be lacking in the patience and logic that sims require. Instead they opt for the fast-paced shooter type games.

Nevertheless, although they are the minority of the gaming world, there are many young people on these forums.

But it's kinda my calling, can't kick it, I'm not a big HALO player.

Congratulations Magic. I see now how you stay so young. As you know this game is a good mental stimulus. Keep up the good work.....Ships...

The start date of ww2 depends largely upon who you ask. I assume you're referring to 1 Sept. 1939 or 3 Sept 1939, but at that point it wasn't really a "World War" yet. For the Americans Americans it began in December 41'. The Russians put the start of the "Great Patriotic War" as June of 41'. The Japanese and Chinese would probably date the conflict back to July of 37', or even as early as 1931, when the Sino-Japanese war began the first time. Many other countries didn't join the war until 44' or 45', though I'm sure everyone would agree it was certainly a world war before that time period.

In any case, congrats on your between 78th and 68th years. May you live to see a hundred or more:salute:
I'm not trying to be a smartass, I 'm just wondering which date you're using.

Oh yeah, I'm 27.......going on 21. You're only as old as you feel:DL

Interesting question that you dig out from under that sunken wreck.:DL

I'm in my late forties. Still love playing the game at my age and hopefully many more years will pass and I'll stay be playing this kind of game.

Thanks for the great question. It got me reflecting on the things I like to do besides going back to college and play sub simulation games in my spare time.
