A simple introduction and some random thoughts

Hello fellow U-boat captains!
I joined the Subsim forums about less than a year ago but haven't bothered to post. Frankly, I don't want to lose my downloading privileges but I figured I might as well get a feel for what the community is like. I apologize if this is in the wrong place but I don't know any better (Sorry!).

I've enjoyed so many hours playing SH3 and the GWX super mod. Honestly, there were moments where I was truly convinced that I was deep below the Atlantic fearing for my life (Blasted ASDIC!).

Well just to cut this off from becoming a ramble I thought I would ask what you guys or gals think of a game with the same level of depth as SH3 but you play as a captain under the command of Erwin Rommel in Afrika. (Not a typo

)
Thanks for your attention.

I don't think such a game exists at the moment. Red Orchestra has the potential and Version-1 does have some Afrika mods, but no careers as such - just map play.

Red Orchestra 2 should in time have some Afrika mods, and i think there are career options (not sure).. and probably 'short lived'

There is a German Panzer game that offers campaings and careers. The graphics are decent, but dated, meaning they were fine when the game came out. It's called Panzer Elite. The campaigns though are limited to Africa, Italy and Normandy though.
