First post- saying hello and such

Triad773 · 01-29-08, 01:39 AM

Ahoy there- I liked the info I saw here and thought it'd be a great place to get more of my virtual sealegs as it were! I'd been into flight simming for years but SH4 was like a mermaid that has drawn me to unknown waters. I felt I got something out of the SH4 review here that gave me info as to how close to history or not it was, and some of the posts seem to be a nice supplement to the UBI forum, and so here I am.

I also recognize gentlemen from other boards I am acquainted with, and hope to grow and learn in this aspect of warfare that is a departure from that which I am accustomed.

A wee bit of background of myself: I was never in any of the services, but from enthusiasm about history have an appreciation of those who are/have. My father (b.1928-d.1973) was a merchant seaman for the US out of NYC, but I have only begun research into his career so cannot yet post anything about stories he told me as a tadpole until corroborated (tho I look forward to it when I do).

Anyway, just a quick introductory post, and tho I be lurking, I be trying to learn all I can.

Welcome to Subsim, If you have questions ask away there are a lot of very knowlegable people here and very friendly as well.

Good sailing and may you sink lots of ships.

Hola!

Welcome. This Forum will serve you well. Unlike Forums set up by gaming companies as a kind of dumping ground for end users, subsim was set up and funded back in 1997 by Neal Stevens because of his interest in Naval warfare.

Plenty of knowledge to be found here.

Welcome Triad. This is the best place for the Silent Hunter games. Like others have said the people here are pretty helpful and friendly. If it wasn't for this Neal Stevens inspiration UBI probably would not have got past Silent Hunter 2.

Bit of a warning, though, watch out for Bernard lurking about.
