Hello, thanks and a sub vid

Hi there chaps.

I've been a lurker here for a few months, playing SH4 brought me here and since discovering TMO I've not looked back. Figured I should say hello and thanks to Ducimus and all the captains who've collected information here - I've had a whale of a time reading up on all the fleet boat history and playing the amazing mods for SH4. Sink Em All was a good read, had me coming back for patrol after patrol.

Went sort of full realism early on - just left the cameras and the tdc on auto.. I like my eye candy and I knew it'd take a while to get the hang of things before learning the tdc. I was surprised to learn that the battery, more often than then available air, was the main limiting factor in submergence. I've suffered the woes of the Mk 14's in good humour after reading about the real skippers, and cursed my duds and clangers just like Morton and the others did. Now I'm trying out the tdc (terrible at the AoB, end up doing it by eye at the moment as i'm not too hot with angles) and can usually hit japs at 1500 yds.. warships I just hide from.

Came cross this on another site the other day and remember thinking 'the subsim chaps would like this, I really should register..' so here it is. Crappy 'reality tv' angle but it's new captains being put through their paces on a modern nuclear sub... not exactly on topic, but it's nice to see them evade and attack just like the fleet boats did:

Salut, thanks for all the collected wisdom and amazing mods, and many more years safe sailing to you all.
