I think it has something to do with Das Boot! One of my all time favorite U-Boot movies.
I can't watch this film without wanting to play SH3. I want to be on U-96. I want to yell at Johann to get back to his station! I want to watch my number 1 properly cutting his food in his pristine uniform! I want to see my Funker making a "U-Boat cocktail" and cringe at him drinking it! But what I really want is to attempt passage into Gibraltar! I'm gonna do that now!!!
SH3, to me, is the only way to somewhat replicate the feel of attacking a convoy and then attempting to run away from destroyers.
As always, I thank all the folks at Subsim.com and those that have shared great mods to make a great game even better!
I laugh at the idea that one day I will be very old playing this game, and my grand kids will as why I play such an "old" game. Nevertheless, I will be here playing it!
