New Captain
Hello everyone, name is Zach, and back in the day I was an avid player of SHII (But I was a 11 so I cheated alot). I just recently got SHIII and fell in love with the series all over again.
I have two quick (pobably borderline stupid) questions to ask: 1. What does Kaluen mean? 2. When attempting to evade a destroyer group, and they are pinging you, will facing directly away from them or directly at them reduce your signature to them or will it remain the same? |

Welcome to Subsim.
1. Kaleun in the Kriegsmarine was abbrevation for the captain of the Uboot who usually held the rank of Kapitanleutnant. You can find more here: http://www.uboat.net/special/abbrevat.htm 2. I think yes. You should keep your engines at 75rpm which give you a speed of 1 kt. This has to be set manually as the "silent running" option of the game sets speed to 2 kts. You have to use "silent running" to keep the noise down: it stops the pumps and the reloading of torpedoes. |

Good. The sooner you see it the better for you, as all u-boat subsims are based on the movie, and you'll recognize the interiors as soon as you see them.
