My taste for sub games began with the old 688 (I), with put a terrible (in that time) virus on my dad PC, an old 386!!! Then it was Th 688 hunter killer game and SH2 and so on.
In subs and military about them was Das Boot and the fact of having a German branch in my family! And by liking history, military history etc etc...

Today, I think that I should have gone to the navy and to the sub service of the Portuguese navy...

As a teenager I used to prowl used bookstores and buy every U-boat book I could get my hands on. Later, my passion changed to sailboats. These interests merged when SHII came out and me and my laptop lived on a 40 foot wooden sloop. When aboard, SHII would be switched on and I played at TCx1 day and night. The realism was terrific and I was hooked. By the time SHIII came out, I had sold my boat and went into writing full time. Some of you enjoy the Balz stories I post here weekly and a number of subsimers have read my espionage thriller Kingmaker. The camaraderie I have found here is terrific, that's why this is my second home--well, err, okay, I'll confess, my home.

Ah...what can I say? Civilian with an interest in this sort of thing. Due to a faulty video card, I've had to spend a lot of time with my U-Boat tied up at dockside, instead going out on patrols with nucs (which don't seem to affected by that damn Foxconn).

In other words: see the guy in the band, when you're pulling away? Yeah, that's me.

Happy hunting, fellow Kaleuns.

Default HI

Hi i'm ECAaxel

I'm a member of the Air Training Corps in England, mainly into flying; however, since i was 6 i've wanted to play a game where i controlled a submarine. Then i found SH4 played an entire career on it, then switched to SH3.
Still into flying though and waiting for the day when IL2 multiplayer has the ability to connect to SH multiplayer.

Also a member of the Justflight Forums

Oh and Welcome to anyone just joining us.
