Hello everyone.

have always been a fan of sub sims, my favorites probably being 688 attack sub or wolfpack (going back to the 16-256 screen color days)..

Purchased SHIII last week and have played around 8 missions in career mode (i think i picked 1942 for whatever reason) Ive been lurking around here ever since.

About half of the missions take me down the coast of africa which end up being fairly sleepy campaigns. Sleepy until I try to raid an allied harbor on the African seaboard anyway. The others take me to grids between newfoundland and NYC or the caribbean which prove to be heavy with task forces, planes, and rough seas. I guess I average around 5-6 scalps during a single mission. I like giving out medals and upgrading people's talents, a lot. (I got the iron cross first class last night!)

I wish my boat could run submerged for 12 hours without having to run it at the lowest speed. I'm thinking about fashioning a snorkel out of drinking straws and seeing if that works.

I suppose my only complaint would be not being able to see the merchants flags without getting, what seems to be, inordinately close. Even when I am close, sometimes the rendering is difficult to see. And cooler damage/explosions when I deliver my greeting cards to said merchants. I've seen the lifeboat and some of the damage mods, but, I'm not too sure about modding the game yet. It's probably no big deal, but, the evening i could spend figuring it out, is one I could spend sinking boats.

Anyway, cheers!
Chris
