Average age of SHIII players?

[Von Manteuffel]

The maths is easy. To have joined a U-Boat crew aged 17 in 1945, he would have had to be born in 1928.

So any ex U-Boat mariners out there have to be at least 80 years of age.

Love the slow stalking and "one shot kill" nature of the game. Much like Elk hunting!

Enter, stage left, wonderful mental picture of a U-Boat torpedoing an elk. Someone make it, pleeeeeease! :rotfl::rotfl:

You see, this is not a Kids game.

I'm 30 and i have devoted my life to pc gaming ever since i turned 14.
My earliest sub sim was Wolfpack,followd by SH1,SH2,Enigma and now SH3/SH4.I have forsaken a social life for the continued thrill of hunting tonnage,evading depth charges ,watch burning ships sink and say "When you meet Davy Jones tell him the Kriegsmarine sent you".

I´m 16, and i have 2 years playing with sh3.

My first pc games where

Doom2, Descent, Altima 5.

Most recent.

Doom3, Crimson Skies, SH3, BF2 is nice too.

My first PC game was F119 Stealth Fighter (the developer got the designation wrong, because the stealth fighter was still top secret), by Microprose. It was in four colors, and I thought that I had the greatest machine that had ever been made.

Actually, I don't wish I was 30, because my thirties were my worst years, from the standpoint of finances and health. At 59, I can run a 4.2 second 40-meter dash, and 1:29 minutes on a 440 meter run. Several bank accounts, real estate, stocks, bonds, securities, and other assets make my 50's the best!

O LOL. I belong to the 1975-1985 period, but I've never seen any MTV programme.

And here in Poland people often use another timetable, that I personally greatly dislike: 1978-2005 is called "JPII generation" (JPII - pope John Paul II) and the current one is "B16 generation" (the last one being quite funny in my opinion).
