"Ka" as in "caught" or "cauterize" or "cost" or "Cobb salad" then?

Sounds about right.

In theory it should be "ka" as in the German word Kapitän but that doesn't help much if you're unfamiliar with German to begin with.

@ Gargamel: I concur that the easiest way to learn it is just to watch Das Boot with the original German dialogue, you will hear "Herr Kaleun" so much you'll have it down in no time.

Or, um, just select German voices in your game? Your crew will say "Jawohl, Herr Kaleun" every time you give an order. Unless you've modded that out.

Alternately you could look in your game folder for the speech files and find the right one and just play it over and over.

Change the game settings to German audio, English text - I thought that worked? I could be wrong, usually am

As long as you've got German voices selected, yep, you'll certainly hear it often enough... in fact you'll probably be hearing "Jawohl Herr Kaleun" in your sleep after a while.

That and 'Schiff gesichtet!', grrrrr!

[frau kaleun]

"Schiff gesichtet!"
"Ja, I see it. That'll be our escort."
"Schiff gesichtet!"
"Right you are, my lad."
"Schiff gesichtet!"
"That's still our escort, Bernard."
"Schiff gesichtet!"
"And I'm pretty sure that's the Tirpitz, son. I've seen pictures."
"Schiff gesichtet!"
"Ja, ja, there are a lot of ships in the harbor today. They're our ships, Bernard. As long as you're not at the helm, I'm not that worried about them. Understood?"
"Jawohl, Herr Kaleun!
"Excellent. I must say, this is a beautiful day for a homeco--"
"Schiff gesichtet!"
"Shut UP, Bernard!"

Meh, I usually have 2 or 3 other audio sources going (Pandora, TV, something) that listneing to mundane ingame sounds usually gets old for me.
