As i am just about to start my first patrol in SH 3, wanted to ask that for how long have you guys being playing this great sim?

Just for about three months now. But already I can't see a ship on tv without starting to estimate the AoB, and how much tonnage she'll get me.

Happy hunting!

Looks I acquired it in Nov 2009, so... almost a year and a half.

I bought SH3 shortly after release but it wasn't until winter 2007 that I had a computer that could actually play it with reasonable frame rates and without graphics issues. Say a bit over four-years now.

Instant classic in my mind. It's been on my hard drive ever since.

I play other titles from time to time, but I keep coming back to SH3...

On and off?
A long long time.

Late 2005.

For my son's Christmas.

I guess I should give it to him, one of these days.

Played it for 2-3 years when it first came out, then shelved it until 2 months ago. You really do need a fair bit of spare time to play the sim. Didn't have time when starting up a business.
The happy times were when I didn't have to worry about much else. I remember the times well, a nice relaxed evening patrolling the oceans, and a couple of glasses of port on a cold winters night (get the port on the return to base journey in 1x), and bring the sub in nice and smooth into the dock.

These days it's a couple of rough bourbons/rum/scotch and a quick high TC dash before reality or sleep calls.

Even now I may have a few spare hours to waste my time on forums, but I don't have the time to really get into the sim, so I dare not start it as I want to be in bed before 4am

I've been playing SH3 for a few months now. One of those titles that I'd see and say to myself "I need to pick that up soon."

After years of saying it, I finally turned intention into action and have had quite a bit of fun. Only played the stock game for about two days before I installed GWX..... Then came SH3 Commander... Then another mod... and another....

I admit though, that I've been playing SH:4 with Operation Monsun a lot more than SH3 as of late.

From late autumn/fall 2007 with three/four-month intervals from time to time. Great game, one of the best games for me, maybe the best!
