Default Howdy from the "HOOD" Baltimore City

I am a newbie (67 LOL) to Submarine Sims ....
when I was a child (and still do) I used to Love OLD B/W Submarine WWII movies! "Stick me on an Island" with one movie it would be
"Run Silent Run Deep"
SH5 has a Steep learning curve, and after 40 "hours in" I still cannot manage Torpedo loading/firing so I plan to spend some time in the Welcome tutorial section!
The absolute Beauty of the Sim for Me is just riding around in the BOAT! The detail is incredible and I still like walking AFT just to look at the Engines running!
Maybe after 80 hours-in I might be able to SINK SUMPTHIN'
After playing this sim I probably will not boot-up SH3 or Crash Dive 2 again.
What I would like to see?
You could hook-up with a Supply Ship and get more Torpedoes!

Default Pirate back.

Hi, been out for a while last playing GXW, (1 and 2 before that). Starting this time with 5 TWOS. Install went well, man playing Silent Hunter, its like you have to go through install hell to prove you deserve to play. But when its running all modded up isn't she a beauty. First impression of TWOS is about same as my first impression of GWX, wow what an amount of work you guys put in, hats off. The tutorials on TWOS are fantastic for just getting feel of the controls again. I was blown away by the tut on 4 bearing method, I never even tried that before awsome.


PS forgot to ask How do you take a screenshot in TWOS and where in the ocean do they go I cant find them.

Well, Ive been silent running for quite some time but I have found my way back to base. I go back to the SH3 days and its good to see a lot of the Old Guard still around. Used to go by the handle Deimos if any of you old timers still remember back that far. I fired up the old girl and reinstalled SH5 the other day with TWoS mod (fantastic job on that BTW) and having fun relearning the ropes.

Ive also been playing Uboat in early access and that one is really coming around but the old SH5 just has that emersion. Anyway, its good to be back.

CHEERS

Hi friends!
I remember my old days with the SH2, now I'm going to give the SH5 a try.
I will install the TWOS mod and I will tell you.
Kind regards!

Hello there!
I'm an 48 years old player, i'm not very familiar with subsims, i tried SH5 few times, and the hard way with Wolfpack as solo player. I used to play Silent Service II when i was younger
But i like learn things in the hard way, i just reinstalled SH5 with TWOS mod, on Realistic difficulty..
Dive safe!
