[Sailor Steve]

I grew up in the 1950s, when the war was still fresh in everybody's minds. I saw the movies and read the books, and played the board games from an early age.

I've loved WW2 subsims from the beginning. I don't care what country it is, I just like the boats. Played Silent Service, Aces Of the Deep and Silent Hunter. For me SH3 is only better than its predecessors in one respect: the immersion. Having a 3D interior and crew surrounding me makes it feel more real, otherwise I'd just stick to the old sims. Oh, and having new, realistic looking ships come along all the time doesn't hurt, either.
