Rediscovering SHIII

GoDeep · 04-29-08, 07:27 AM

Much to the dismay of my poor wife (can't be easy married to a sub commander...even if he only commands a simulation), I have rediscovered SHIII recently. I don't play many games on the PC, but there are a few games that I always return too:

Civilization (played it ever since the first release)
Aces of the Deep (still run it under DosBox)
Freelancer
and Silent Hunter III

There are a few others, but these are the ones that eat up my free time.

When I was cleaning out my old CD storage system (don't ask), looking for stuff I wanted to throw away, I came across the SHIII install disk. That brought back memories of watery graves, hours behind the computer looking for convoys, being DC'd to oblivion...and I was hooked again.
So I came back to Subsim to see if there might have been an update to a little something called GWX 1.3 which I still had installed...only to find that there was no little update, but a huge update!

Thanks a lot, GWX team! I am once again hooked to Silent Hunter III. I immediately started a new career, starting out in August 1939 in a tiny IIA, seeing all those juicy targets sail by... I spent my first patrol honing my tracking skills, hydrophone skills and touring some British ports. I'm currently in my second patrol and the war is now 13 days old. I am patrolling of Norway but have yet to make my first kill. Norway is still neutral, after all...

Now if any of the GWX team members would care to send my wife some flowers...I'm too busy
