Kaleuns, Report to the Personnel Office

Brag · 09-13-08, 06:25 PM

We have a lot of new people joining our march to victory. Please introduce yourself so that we know who our Kameraden are.

Steed, we know you. No need to report.
Jimbuna, you may comment with smileys.
Sailor Steve, keep nurturing the troops.
The rest of you, old salts, no excuse for slacking.

TFatseas · 09-13-08, 06:57 PM

Reporting in!

Hmm.... what to say? Well...

I always had a thing for the military, and expesically WWII.

I have played Slient Hunter for a while now,(Back to the days of SHII, boy was I out of my league back then!) so naturally I gravitated towards these boards. And I have played SHIII for a few years now. Still playing, still learning.

I do hope that I will make my stay here a good one!

Brag · 09-13-08, 07:35 PM

Welcome TFastseas!
You are already making a difference.

Torp III · 09-13-08, 08:40 PM

Bernard is 2 years older than I am!(subsim years) So what does that make me

Jr. ?

Task Force · 09-13-08, 09:09 PM

I always have been intrested in U-Boats. And still play SH3. I like SH3 because of many reasons but there is one main one. In early war it is easy and as the war goes on, it gets harder. and getting back to base alive is a constant struggle.

Untill SH4 gets a GWX makeover, Im sticking to sh3.

Erich dem Roten · 09-13-08, 10:14 PM

I'm sure some of you have seen me around, I tend to ask silly questions. The last "sim" I played was Silent Service II when I was maybe 14 (my first was Wolfpack)...so when I saw screen shots of SH3 I was completely blown away by the advanced graphics...I had thought submarine sims were dead, victims of a niche genre. I bought it along with SH4 (which I've played maybe 15 seconds total...everyone said SH3 was better so that's where I started and that's where I stay) and couldn't be happier with it.

I'm still getting used to this game, so you can probably look forward to more questions from me. My knowledge of subs is very small; I spent nearly all my time reading about the land wars of WWII. I'm trying to remedy that, but I'm also a full time college student, so finding time to tackle books isn't as easy as it used to be.

Brer Rabbit · 09-13-08, 10:35 PM

Like many other subsimmers, I cut my teeth on Silent Service II. For many years I missed playing Subsim, when I tried 688I, which led me to Silent Hunter III and IV. I have been playing SH3 for a year now. Still working on my first career in the stock version, but since moving to GWX in April, I have had little time to go back. I am on my third patrol of my third career in GWX. I am still in 1939.

My desktop has trouble running SH4, and my lap top is too busy with the challenge of the Battle of the Atlantic, take more than a cursory look at SH4. I read the mail almost daily here, and enjoy the commentary, advice, and historical perspectives found here.

Good luck to all you Kaluens in your efforts for the Father Land.

Not much to say. Will always play SH3 (GWX) till my fingers fall off.

Thought I would try my hand at writing SCI-FI. No talent & gave
up after 5 pages.

My life is this forum, SH3, and my Silent Hunter Addict web site.

Welcome aboard everyone.

drussxx · 09-14-08, 09:23 AM

cut my teeth on the old sh2 games. i have been using sh3 since it came out and i am still learning. admittedly at first i played it in easy.now using GWX i,play it in a more realistic mode. it drives my wife crazy the hours i spend on it.recently been given an ultimatum. her or SH3. i asked if i could take the dog with me. :rotfl: .

Rhodes · 09-14-08, 10:54 AM

My taste for sub games began with the old 688 (I), with put a terrible (in that time) virus on my dad PC, an old 386!!! Then it was Th 688 hunter killer game and SH2 and so on.
In subs and military about them was Das Boot and the fact of having a German branch in my family! And by liking history, military history etc etc...

Today, I think that I should have gone to the navy and to the sub service of the Portuguese navy...

von Kinderei · 09-14-08, 11:27 AM

I started my under water career in the old Intellivision's Sub Hunt and then Nintendo's Silent Service ...

so thats been some time ago ... huh :hmm:

I've only been here a little while and though I haven't contributed to the modding community YOU guy's that do have made my simming expierence much, MUCH better and I salute you all !

THANK YOU

Brag · 09-14-08, 11:53 AM

As a teenager I used to prowl used bookstores and buy every U-boat book I could get my hands on. Later, my passion changed to sailboats. These interests merged when SHII came out and me and my laptop lived on a 40 foot wooden sloop. When aboard, SHII would be switched on and I played at TCx1 day and night. The realism was terrific and I was hooked. By the time SHIII came out, I had sold my boat and went into writing full time. Some of you enjoy the Balz stories I post here weekly and a number of subsimers have read my espionage thriller Kingmaker. The camaraderie I have found here is terrific, that's why this is my second home--well, err, okay, I'll confess, my home.

cody6 · 09-14-08, 12:03 PM
