SUBSIM, you won my heart!

[krashkart]

Someone here (I don't recall whom right offhand) some time ago mentioned in the "Happy Birthday, Subsim!" thread that I would become addicted... and they hit the nail right on the head. Not only am I addicted to SUBSIM, I am also now trying to correct my nautical terminology and knowledge for the campaign journals I keep. I am a naval sim n00blet, but I'd sure feel bad if I let anyone down over proper writing skillage in this area.

Now I just need to save up for a copy of Das Boot, which I have never seen. Maybe next month? We shall see. Thanks, y'all. SUBSIM rocks.

Thanks! I blame Jimbuna.

Now Jim is paid handsomely for his efforts. Jim has always expressed his contracted payment plan to add and retain SS members. Fine job Jim!

I think the real reason for returning participating members is the fact that there is a bit of normal conversation and discussion like we have sense for the most part. I have seen some forums that are just nuts!

Das Boot is just one of many submarine movies to have in the collection. BTW, my wife got me a 5 DVD set up of Hell in the Pacific. Mostly colored footage of the war in the Pacific. Nothing shows love like war footage on Valentines Day!

Everyone here will tell you to make sure you get the uncut 5 hour
version. Not the director's cut or any other trimmed down edition.

Also; can you still buy iy through the subsim store? That gives Subsim a few pennies.

A Sub simmer that hasn't seen Das Boot!! Your in for a huge treat, would still be the closest film to the real life on a U-boat!

I only have the directors cut, haven't been able to find a copy of the 5 hour version!

I have the director's cut too.

But it is obvious that it is a German-made military-themed movie and boy they are paranoid about not being label promoting militarism you are continuously put down in a few scenes such as a mate telling "That's a fine way to waste fuel" when the U-boats started to give surface chase. I found those kind of lines a little disturbing.
