Thanks to All

As a relative NOOBE to Silent Hunter, and a faily long time lurker, I wante to take the opportunity to say Thanks to all who have contributed time, advice, asked questions, and engaged in serious research into the facinating world of the war in the Atlantic, and the Pacific. I cut my teeth on Subsims so many yrate ago on an Atari playing Silent Service, graduating to Silent Service II in th elate 80's and finally to 688I in the 90's. I bought Silent Hunter II, and became frustrated by the lack of documentation and my sporatic time that I could learn the game, that I soon gave up. A little over a year ago I purchase SHIII, but again the manual short commings preventing me from being able to get into the game. Then I bought SHIV, only to realize my computer couldn't handle it.
To make along story short I discovered SUBSIM, and after devoruring as much as I could from the forum, I completed the training course and few of the single missions, and recently my first campaign mission. Not a spectacular success, but I survived and more importantly my crew survuved. To this I owe my gratutite to the afore mentioned contributers. I am looking forware to more missions, experience and advice.

Thanks again.

Welcome Aboard!

Surviving a Campaign mission is always a success IMO! Surviving the war--now that's a miracle!

Happy Hunting!

Always good to see a new face in the club (so to speak)

The folks on this forum my be ole salts at this game but they really do go above and beyond when it comes to helping out the community and making us noobs feel welcome at the same table.

Surviving your first mission is a great success and I wish you many more safe returns...but I do have to offer you a warning, it does get much harder as the war goes on. you will find that you have to change tactics for every year or even month of the war to keep you and your crew alive.

if you need any help at all and need a quick response than you found the right place.

and I second your comment.

Thank you to all the folks on this forum...I have gotten more help and felt more welcome than any other forum I have ever been on and I wish all of you many returns from missions with good tonnage under your collective belts.

Peace out

Mike

SH3 is not a game. Subsim is not a forum. These two things are a lifestyle.
