Kaleun pronunciation?

I never hear the other watch members say it. What I miss the most is when they would step all over each other to be the first. It sounded like a jumbled mess of echoes.

"That's still our escort, Bernard."
"Schiff gesichtet!"
"And I'm pretty sure that's the Tirpitz, son. I've seen pictures."
"Schiff gesichtet!"
"Ja, ja, there are a lot of ships in the harbor today. They're our ships, Bernard. As long as you're not at the helm, I'm not that worried about them. Understood?"
"Jawohl, Herr Kaleun!
"Excellent. I must say, this is a beautiful day for a homeco--"
"Schiff gesichtet!"
"Shut UP, Bernard!"

That's so damn annoying I just take my officers off the bridge.

@ Gargamel: I concur that the easiest way to learn it is just to watch Das Boot with the original German dialogue, you will hear "Herr Kaleun" so much you'll have it down in no time.

Or, um, just select German voices in your game? Your crew will say "Jawohl, Herr Kaleun" every time you give an order. Unless you've modded that out.

Alternately you could look in your game folder for the speech files and find the right one and just play it over and over.

Meh, I usually have 2 or 3 other audio sources going (Pandora, TV, something) that listneing to mundane ingame sounds usually gets old for me.
