Help a newcomer (me) enjoy the world of Submarine (and mainly SUBSIM)

Greetings Vikocho.
Welcome to the boat.

Grab an oar and put your back into it.

I must say, your introduction was extremely ... long winded.

Great! Skybird junior.

If you really want the best sub simulation, Silent Hunter IV gold with the TMO mod is the way to go. I would provide links but, what would you learn from that other than how to be lazy?

Welcome to SubSim Vikocho.

Welcome aboard, Vikocho!

For more information on Silent Hunter 5, see here.

SH4 is also very good. It just has a different way of looking at things. This is also true of SH3, which still offers the widest variety of gameplay.

Subim is a great community, however, the best way to enjoy subsim, is to avoid General Topics.

If your getting into a silent hunter game, I would suggest sticking to those forums, be it SH3, SH4, or SH5, or even SH Online. Aside from that, General Games Discussion is a good forum . In General Topics, (aka "GT" for short), it's mainly just old forum curmudgeons beating each other upside the head with politics and the like. Personally, I enjoyed subsim a lot more before i got involved in GT. In my opinion, GT is somewhere you go after you've burned yourself out on submarine sims and are still hanging out for some reason. So go explore the rest of the forums and enjoy yourself. You've plenty of time before you end up "rubbernecking" here in GT.

Watch out for that Ducimus fellow.
He's such an optimist.

Welcome aboard Vikocho

For SH V start with Fifi's mod list; more movies: take a look at Run Silent Run Deep(Clark Gable) to improve your down-the-throat shooting technique; The Enemy Below (Kurt Jurgens) for stealth and evasion insight; and my personal favorite: Action in the North Atlantic (Humphrey Bogart)to get the Gruppetaktic and merchantman perspective down pat!

Sad, but true.

Frankly, if there were more interesting posts to read in the SH4 section, I'd stay out of this neighborhood.
