Hello there,

although I don't have SH5, I'll take this chance to introduce myself, because I've never done that since my first visit at subsim in 2008. Sorry for that.

My name is Henning, 44 years old, from germany. Working as research assistant at a university in germany.

Interests/hobbies: of course sub simulations. started with CAOTD, then SH1, then bought SH3 in 2008. Found GWX and NYGM here at subsim. Great mods. Until now I've never played a career, because always when I started to play, I found things which could be changed. So I tested hundreds of mods and made some mods by my own. That took so much of my free time, so that until now there was no time left for playing.

Other interests: Triathlon, chess, electronics.

I enjoy this forum very much, because the people here are friendly and very helpful.

Greetings,
Henning

Hi i,m Oscar Klein Sprokkelhorst i,m 28 years old. I live in the Netherlands and i am currently taking security courses. I,ve been with the subsim forums quite some time now but i was allready active when sh-2 was being developed . But after that i lost my nickname and stuff and rejoined subsim when i found out they were starting sh-3. It took me some time to buy sh-4 . I was awoken so suddenly again when i found out there was a gonna be a sh-5 and the development from the very beginning when she wasent even a little baby yet. I love to smoke a splif from time to time and listen to pshycadelic music like The Doors but i also go to raves and party all night long. I do martial arts (Wing Chun) to keep myself and my loves once safe. And work out in the Gym to make sure my beer belly doesnt become to big. Thats about it.

This is me (Guy on the left) in the Escape Amsterdam.

my name is John. I am from Montreal, Canada. I'm 54, (but going on 18).

I started playing board wargames when in was a teenager in the 70s (no computers then). I stopped for a long time, building a career and family.

After I got my first computer in 99, I rediscovered my love of sims, mostly flight sims at first, but lately land combat sims like CMBB and CMSF. However, my first love has always been naval and subsims from SH1 and Jane's 688i/HK to today.

when I am not working, doing chores for my wife, son, two dogs (my real masters) or playing sims, I indulge my other hobbies, reading military histories, snowboarding, scuba diving or my newest hobby...

...that's me hanging on for dear life...

Hi Rob. GO OILERS!!

Don't know if you are a hockey fan, but I'm a lifelong Oil fan...despite being born, bred and raised outside of Philadelphia.

Hellsya! But we haven't had too much to cheer about lately

What's cool is that when I was a kid there was only a handful of NHL teams, none in Edmonton, and I liked Philly back then, or "The Broad Street Bullies" as they were known. Dave Schulz!

Man, you really do look a lot like IIWO from Das Boot. That sig isn't lying

Thanks for the compliment!

Martin Stemelrogge (sp?) is hilarious! A member from this forum (sadly forget who, but thank you!!!) gave me a lot of insight about this german comedian/actor.

Yikes! Welcome aboard, man.

Stranger · 03-03-10, 09:00 PM

I'm here, just beneath the surface....Played I,II,III,IV,V and a few other ones...played just about every mod that's been made available at one time or another..

Schultzy · 03-03-10, 09:33 PM

I'm Stephen.
I'm British, I've been here at subsim for 9 years, despite the low post count and I'm currently hurtling headlong into my midlife crisis, being a nice even 30 years of age.
I've lived in various places, but the country I enjoyed the most and spent nearly three years in, was Austria.
I've got an MA in English, my BA was in German and at the moment I'm considering whether or not I can really afford to go ahead with a Doctorate.

Spare time (what little there is of that) is spent reading, writing, visiting subsim and moaning to all who'll listen about the ills of OSP and the lack of good, tome-like manuals.

BlueTosh · 03-03-10, 09:43 PM

Been playing SH4 & SH4: u-boat since mid-2007.

Got SH5 today via Amazon (they shipped it on Monday), have just installed it and watched as it downloaded the patch. Typing this up on my Mac, I'm traipsing back-n-forth between the two computers (and my dinner) to see what's what.

In real life I sit around writing screenplays. Sorry, no submarine flicks of late as Hollywood could care less

My name is Chris and I am from Chicago, Illinois. I'm 33 years old. I got into the Silent Hunter series of simulations due in large part to wartime documentaries. I became fascinated with Naval warfare via submersible, it is interesting to me. I like flight simulators as well. I started with Silent Hunter 3 a few years back and then I shelved it for awhile. Fast forward and I've rediscovered it again and it is every bit as fun as I remembered. Sorry, I couldn't run Silent Hunter 4 because of pixel shader 2.0 and instead of upgrading my PC, I grabbed an X-Box 360 instead. However, this occurred when the game was first released back in 2007 I believe. I have since played the game but I still tend to like Silent Hunter 3 a bit better. My copy of Silent Hunter 5 is on its way and I'm sure it will provide more years of fun. I'm sure of that.

Flopper · 03-04-10, 10:40 AM

I'd hate to see this thread die. It seems like a lot of the crew missed muster.

Croster · 03-04-10, 11:35 AM

Won't get mine until Monday. Play SHIII with GWX mostly. Hopefully UBI will fix some of the stuff you all are seeing. Hopefully see you all online someday.
