I love my IL2 FB & AEP due to the Stab utility and being able to custom my own fighter skins and place my own face on the fighter pilot, there is so much to mod in IL2. THEN CAME SH3 WOW!!!!!!

the modders have done an excellent job in bringing this came to the highest level, at the same time I brought this game I also started to read IRON COFFINS (Herbert A. Wener)

That book was amazing. Now for christmas I got a U-boat model and two U-boat books.

I know that people look at me and say why do you only like the German U-boat era 1939-1945, my answer is simple; 40,000 U-boat crews went to war, only 10,000 survived, the living conditions were poor, now try and imagine you are the U-boat commander aged around 30-35 yrs you have 30-40 men under you command, try and keep that all together for 1 war patrol, I don't think alot of our 30-35 yr old men of today could do it, including me :hmm:
