I bought the Silent Hunter collection (SHIII, IV, & U-boat missions for IV) in a Steam sale last week, so here I am.

Have played quite a few sub sims. I think the first was Wolf Pack, waaaaay back in the early 1990's, when 256 color graphics was a big deal. I even played 688 Attack sub via modem a few times.

I am just now getting into SHIII. Nearly as soon as I bought SHIII, I learned of & downloaded the GWX 3.0 mod. Still reading the manual for that. It's quite impressive to see a document of that quality accompanying a free, community-produced mod. I have enjoyed other games with strong mod communities (e.g. Freespace 1/2, Oblivion, Thief 2) but never seen anything quite so polished.

Anyway, you'll be seeing me in the SHIII forum mostly, until I start playing SHIV I guess.
