A submarine is not an airplane. It doesn't have wings.

I'll be damned... You're RIGHT!

No wonder I can't fly the damn thing...

You could argue dive planes are something like wings, but let's not.....

As for being 'stupid', you found this site, aren't afraid to ask questions AND admit what you don't know.

That's not stupid. You'll find this group pretty welcoming, although it's been a little narky with SH5's release.

Enjoy. I came here when SH2 was released and I've kept coming back (that's just over 9 years ago). There's NO other internet community about which I can say that.

When you'd like a break from learning, go check out the 'funny' threads in the differing SH-series threads. They're worth the price of admission alone!

Hang on, this place is free...

Cheers!

Thanks Mate. This is an extraordinary group, and I'm very fortunate to have found the community. You guys do realize how different you are, right?

I'm getting there!

But don't let that stop you from trying.

One of my favorite stories is from the SH2-DC online days. One of the SH2 mods let the captain drive the boat like it was a plane. I objected on the grounds that SH2 alread gave the u-boat skippers too much of an advantage, and now they could race to periscope depth, use auto-targeting to throw out a spread of eels and be back at 200 meters before they even hit.

So one game the comm-bar showed a sub player cursing. What had happened was that he put his planes to full rise and started plotting something else. Like a plane the nose kept coming up until it was vertical, and then the game said everything had broken loose inside and he was dead!
