A somewhat humorous problem

spork542 · 04-03-07, 05:56 PM

I got myself a IIA in 1939, and I'm having a rather interesting problem that you German-speakers might be able to help with. The culprit:
Häußer

How is this pronounced? You know there's something very wrong when you cannot pronounce your commander's own last name.

A bit like Hojzer, I think.

...yeah, but it's the "ä" that does the trick.

Thanks!

Just hit a ~12000 ton merchant with two torpedoes. I'm hoping it sinks without an extra torpedo.

Edit: Got it! Only 10000 tons though.

I sank two more of them. 30k tons in a dugout and I don't even get enough renown for a VIIB, after 3 patrols already.

it depends on the realism lvl u pick.

Just change your Delta Renown if it means that much to you

It would be written in English as "Haeusser", but not sure if that helps you at all with pronunciation

Mr.Fleck · 04-05-07, 06:44 AM

concerning the ß: it is not pronouced like in "house" but instead like in "Sun" or "Sailor Steve" (sorry Sailor Steve, but I guess you can live with beeing a glaring pronounciation example

).

The "äu" is spelled like "oy" in royal, so in English I would write it "Hoysser" (double s to make sure the s is not spelled like in house).

just my German two euro cents

So that's not bad at all, right?

Mr. Fleck is right on the money.
