Default Greetings! A new player here

I have to say, I am amazed with this gaming community.
Like most of you I'm very interested into WW2, I was watching the 1995 series battlefield about the uboats

it made me think of the old nes game,, silent service. so i try to find that game, but find SH3

i then find the wonderful mod GWX3.0,, which you guys have done an amazing job.

I've played the game just for about an hour, trying to figure things out. Its not really a user friendly game right now,, I feel like my head is way under water, so to speak.

I'm about to look on here for some basic FAQ's but just thought i'd take the time to say hello and that if its okay, if i have any questions, i'll post them here

so if your up to it, and think you could help me please, look at this topic time to time

well i'm off to read some guides about the game

good hunting

Welkommen Kameraden! You will find this a nice place to relax after a long patrol. SHIII is a very simple sim to learn but with all the variables it can take a bit to master. You will find with GWX that what worked well in one mission is a total failure in the next. The enemy always improves so change your tactics accourdingly.

Glad you could join us and of course any questions, Fire away!

Welcome Locqlynn, you will find a ton of good information in the GWX 3.0 manual. It is well worth the time to read.

Welcome to the Ubootwaffe. This is a great community, and you'll have no trouble getting answers to your questions from your fellow Kaleuns.
