Hello All. I've not played sub sims for about 5-8 years, but I am returning to the Fleet. I don't think anyone cares, but I'll say it anyway. I'm 51 years old. I was in the real US Navy for 20 years. Not on subs, but I was stationed on a sub tender for 2.5 years, 1987-1990. I first played Silent Hunter, version 1, on a computer that was so slow, I once fired 10 torpedoes at a carrier, and was able to go make a sandwich and come back to the computer before they hit.
Like I said, it's been a while since I played, so I'm trying to remember how to command/drive a sub, and fire torpedoes again. I'm fairly computer literate; I used JGSME in the past, but I'm trying to figure that out too before I ask any questions.
Just wanted to say hey to every one on the site.
