Good evening, everyone.

I´ve known of this great site for a long time , but until now I´ve been a lurker. This is definitely the place to come for mods, stories and to learn a thing or two about real submarines.

I´ve been interested about WW2 submarines for a long time. I guess the spark started back in the days of Silent Service II. It didn´t bother me that all I had was two colours, screen the size of my hand and beeper sounds. I loved it and played the [expletive deleted] out of that game. And it really got good when I got my hands on a proper 486, it had actual colours.
I liked Silent Hunter even better. Now that was a really good game.

Maybe that´s the reason I never really got a taste for the Atlantic. I´ve dabbled with SH III (with Grey Wolves, of course!) But I´m far more interested about the history, men and machines from the U.S. side. SH5 may be prettier, but I still like it better to roam the Pacific ocean.

It´s great that Ubi is still taking the risk of publishing submarine sims at all, but the vanilla version is often.. lacking.
So, I really want to tip my hat to all the good folks here, who have the skill and patience to push Silent Hunters into a whole new level.

Now that I´ve let loose my first fish, let´s see if I can get that Trigger Maru update and a 3000 yard bearing plotter..
