Who is your alter-ego

Leg · 05-03-10, 07:30 AM

I used to germanise my real name

but now I use the sh3 commander names

Hitman · 05-03-10, 07:36 AM

I use the translation of my real name to the proper language

When playing SH3/SH4 UBM I am "Albrecht Von Hansen"

When playing SH4 fleet boats I am "Al Johnson"

When playing russian subs in DW I am "Albert Albertevitsch Ivanov"

I use SH3C to generate a random name every time I start a new career. My current one is Erich Leibrock.

Leutnant z. See Kurt Geis, captain of U-52 TypeVIIB, salutes all and leaves for his first patrol.

In my sig. Just started a new career as my other guy was retired.

Wreford-Brown · 05-03-10, 09:35 AM

Commander Wreford-Brown was captain of the HMS Conqueror when it sank the cruiser ARA General Belgrano during the Falklands War of 1982. He is the only nuclear-powered submarine captain to ever sink a ship.

I was surprised that none of the other Brits on SS had taken the name and always use it when starting a new career.

I just hit the Random Name button and keep hitting it until I see a name that strikes my fancy at the moment.

But if I'm creating a "test" career just to try out mods or a new install, lately I've been typing in Rufus T. Firefly.

I wonder, has anyone ever had the random name generator generate the full name of one of the more famous real life uboat commanders?

So far I've only had that happen with the crew names - got Otto Kretschmer as a bootsmann once.

Lord_magerius · 05-03-10, 10:19 AM

Closest I've had is a Kyle Dönitz as a matrosengefreiter. When starting new careers I just use the random names in commander, though recently I decided to bring Rudolf Strasser out of retirement in 1944

Glad to have you aboard, JohnWoo.

I let SH3Commander generate the names for me these days.

TarJak · 05-05-10, 06:35 AM

I've almost always used the randomised names from SH3Cmdr. I have toyed with using Zähler von Nieten recently though.

Off topic but... Speaking of the General Belgrano, did you know she used to be the USS Phoenix and was one of the few ships to survive the attack on pearl harbor.
