New to boards, new to Silent Hunter

I just wanted to say fair winds and following seas to all of us german sub commanders out there (and the american's in the pacific as well). I have had Silent Hunter III for about a year but I never really got into it. I bought Silent Hunter IV to find myself playing an incomplete game. I felt this franchise had so much promise, and the games were so close to being great. Then I discover this website. I discover the GWX expansion, and now i am in love with this game. I just wanted to thank you all for giving some awesome advice, this forum is like a treasure cove, and introducing me to the wonders of GWX.

While you all are fighting the fight on your desktops, I was fighting the fight over in the North Arabian Gulf. I am stationed on the USS Leyte Gulf CG-55, it's a ticonderoga class cruiser homeport Norfolk, VA. I was on a 7 month deployment in support of Afghanistan and Iraq operations with the USS Enterprise. We dropped a ton of ordnance over there

Thanks again for the great tips, you really made this game enjoyable for me! I still remember the first time I successfully set up a manual firing solution at a 100% realistic, to see a perfect shot right under the smoke stack and the preceding sounds of inner explostions as the ship slowly blew itself apart. Amazing experience!

Welcome Aboard skipper,

SH3 GWX is awesome,
but SH4 is just still in child shoes, it has to be fixed first before mayor mods can be made for the game, you have to be patien for a while something great will turn up for SH4 for sure.

So having been busy in the arrabian seas?
dropped ordance, well what did you guys hit for example :hmm:

anyway welcome onboard.
