No offense intended - just my bad sense of humor. You only have six months on me.

No offense taken mate

- good to see some oldtimers around here as well as the younger folk (that's anyone under 50 in my estimate

)
Actually my Dad is the old fella at 90 - 91 on 3rd Jan 2011

I should say hello here, I have been lurking here but more active on SH III, SH IV and some really old areas and sims here.... I bought V a while ago not knowing if it would work on my system and then I upgraded and now have a fairly decent card and system and it seems happy.

I now hope to learn the rope, gather in the essential mods...and launch ..fairly soon.

I am very interested in things naval, coming from naval stock on both sides...US, Brit and German...which gave me some very interesting insights into those times now moving in the the past. Two of my cousins were U boat commanders and both were lost with their boats....another cousin on my mom's side was skipper of USN BB 39 at Pearl and remains at his post. My grandfather was early into the US sub program and wrote some of the then early doctrine on sub nets and anti sub theory....tho he was mostly a surface commander..

From what i see so far of V, it is super. And the mod work is making it better. I am a white knuckle skipper myself still, no pro but very interested esp in the U boat side of things and hope to contribute in time as i can from what i know from what i learned from family history. Cheers and hello and thanks to all for the great mod work all around.

I am an oldie somewhat myself, age wise...just turned 58, older but not really wiser...just glad to be here.

Denis4510 · 12-09-10, 07:57 PM

Welcome mate - what an interesting story - thank you.

I played SH5 for many months and then bought SH4 which I am happily playing at the moment. Played SH3 many years ago. Yeah SH5 needs a good rig - I also bought a new one to play SH5 as well but even SH4 on full graphics gives the card a workout.

All the best!

PS I am older than you by about 3 years.

Admiral Von Gerlach · 12-09-10, 08:46 PM

Hi and thanks ....i have been shy partly as i am older and feel much less skilled than many here, my love of naval history and knowledge and experience have been with real men and ships....but certainly not in operational command as we are here in the sim.... and i have been shy at trying some of the things that many seem to be very good at.... but i will keep trying.

It is quite amazing what we can experience here in this sim...and the mods and improvments being made are equally amazing.

thanks for the reply...and i shall endevour to keep learning. Partly for me the chance to experience things that i have heard about and read in letters and journals and logs kept in the family really intrigues me..... and Op Monsun in SH IV even came to include the last engagment of my cousin's boat the U 223, the mod maker was kind enough to include it.... so there is a real personal aspect to this all for me. ... i hope to be able to get good enough to see so much more.

I'm Ross. Was introduced to the game by Steam - and the recommendation of a few friends of mine.

Finding it a pretty tough game to get into, but I'm sticking with it and hope it pays off.

Welcome mate!

alexclcheung · 12-28-10, 09:06 PM

Hi pals,

Glad to know this site, I am Alex Cheung, 34, from Hong Kong. Being a long Silent Hunter fans (in fact, since silent hunter) I have just ordered my copy from Steam Server. When I was disappointed with the interface and all the bugs that I can find, I start to search for MODs for it then I was brought here!

Let's keep in touch and stay contact!

Cheers
Alex

Hello, Subsim mates!

First off, I'll start by saying the community here impresses me in many different aspects. I have been to many different game community websites and this one by far seems the most mature, professional, and informative that I have come across.

I am new to the Silent Hunter series, having bought SH5 on sale from Steam. I am enjoying every minute of it and it is definately hard to pull away from the computer while playing it. I remember seeing silent hunter games on the shelves back in the day, and I had no idea what I was missing. I am only experimenting with a few mods right now, but I can tell I will dabble in many more.

For now, I must commence radio silence. I will renew contact in 2 hours. Out.
