Ahoy, skippers!

Rambler · 05-14-13, 10:27 PM

Greetings, everyone! I am a long-time on-and-off lurker who has recently found how awesome SH4 is. My first subsim was Silent Service for NES, and I really enjoyed 688(i) in its day. My favorite history subject is the war in the Pacific, so I don't know how I missed out on SH4 for so long.

I am looking forward to getting to know you all, and welcome suggestions for new SH4 skippers.

So, with that out of the way...

Permission to come aboard?

G'day Rambler,

I'm with you on the pacific theatre, so much going on and a bit closer to home for me. Still, I can't help but think of SH3 as the benchmark. Have you tried SH5?

My first subsim was 'The Hunt for Red October - based on the book', things have come a long way!

No, SH4 is my first Silent Hunter game. I was tempted to pick up SH5 on Steam since it's so cheap, but have yet to.

I think I remember playing that. I also enjoyed Red Storm Rising (the game and the book

). My favorite war game of all time, though, has to be PTO by Koei. I played the crap out of that one for SNES growing up.

Welcome Aboard!

I love learning about the Pacific War. It's the most interesting part of WW2.
