Hi,

I have just joined the Forum and would like to say Hello to you all,

I have not played SH3 before and i am waiting for it to arrive in the post but what i have seen and read about it i'm looking forward to learning about it,

Just a bit about myself, i'm retired and live in the UK and have been a Flight Simmer for many years and have enjoyed Ship Sim 08 so i'm not new to the sea!!

Cheers,

Roger.

Welcome aboard, Roger

The game and this forum are fun!

smilinicon · 06-21-10, 05:20 PM

hello!

SH3 and GWX3 is truly a great simulation... you will enjoy it a lot.

Welcome aboard! We are all mad down here!

said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."

"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.

"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Welcome aboard! SH3 is a fantastic game and simulation. You will find you absorb tons of information about WWII submarine combat, and probably find yourself buying books on the subject.

The game is highly compelling and customizable.

Welcome aboard! If'n you have any questions once you start playing, this is definitely the place to come for answers.

Welcome aboard! And have some fun and great time...

WELCOME ABOARD!

As others have already said, this forum is the best manual you'll find for the game. It even answers questions!

Welcome aboard Herr Kaluen.

Any questions, and there will be some I'm sure, and the guys and gal on here will bend over backwards to dig out the relevant information. Happy hunting!

Welcome Roger,

You will get settled in in no time at all,and when your game arrives you can kiss goodbye to your previous life!

And before long you will be asking "what are the latest mods,what are the latest expansions,or add-ons?" ,and we will say "take your pick mate,there is thousands to pick from!" , but first be sure to get GWX3 (Grey Wolves Expansion) as soon as you have had a test drive with the default game,it is the way forward my friend.

Have fun!

nemchenk · 06-22-10, 05:21 AM

Welcome

Take some time to look around and find out about the various mods and tools people are using. As a fairly new player myself, I'm still adding mods to my collection and have thought that a good mod-list would have been a very useful thing when I was first starting out.

I'll post what I am using when I get a chance

jangles · 06-22-10, 05:30 AM

Welcome!.

I'm in the same u-boat as you , I started just over a week ago.

I cant believe I missed this one , considering how old it is now.

It's a great sim , really immersive, although be warned - time will fly when your'e out at sea stalking those merchants.

I am using GWX 3.0 , SH commander 3.2 , lifeboats mod , and water/smoke mod with 16km atmosphere enabled . I thknk that's a good base to start off from.

(I would use the merchant fleet mod , but it crashes on me

)

Heres one tip for you - When leaving port for the first time , zoom RIGHT IN on the port before plotting a course, as when you are zoomed out it will not show the port layout.

On my first mission I went ahead and plotted my course and promptly smashed my sub into the harbour wall ....

Anyway , good hunting!

nemchenk · 06-22-10, 05:42 AM

Me, I always drive out of port under "manual"

It's the "right" thing to do, and it lets you take in the atmosphere, the sea air, the marching band... Ah, to be young and in charge of a Uboat!
