Bernard is back!
 

Did you notice that the default Captain name when you start a U-boat campaign is Bernard?:rotfl:

Sorry Guys
 

Maybe I'm dumb - but whats the significance of this? I've been plaing the SH series since it first came out and this doesn't ring any bells.

Bernard is just the guy on you boat that messes things up for you and the others.

I think this is a different Bernard.:hmm: Mine actually sink stuff.

Since ComSubPac is our double-agent commander person, he gave Bernard command to screw up the campaign, ComSubPac is a double-double-agent...

Reading the Credits, I saw Comedians listed.
:lol:
Which one came up with the
"HEY! Let's name the Captain Bernard Von Unfal!!"

Now,
I know what Bernard means, and I know what Von means.

But what is Unfal?

Bernard Of ?
:huh:

I called my U-Boat captain "Otto Von Blotto" I kid you not.

Just looked through a German dictionary, looks like Unfal means Mischance/Misfortune/Accidant...:D

Soz...Bernard of Misfortune?

Alas, i cannot have more Captain-name related misfortune because my Fleet Boat skipper was and always will be named Philip F. Queeg

That is just to rich!!
:rotfl:
:up:

:rotfl:

:rotfl::huh:

:up:

:rotfl:

It is darn funny if you think about it. Looks like Bernard was transfered to the Pacific. It is Germany's only hope to win the Atlantic with Bernard out of the way. :rotfl:

Bernard of Fail! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Nice one! :rock:

My Bernard was Bernard Von Dumke

Bernard is the German equivalent of Gilligan.

He is one of the more indispensable members of the crew, because he's the guy you blame for every stupid mistake you make.

Bernard name translated
 

:cool:

Bernard Von Unfal


Bernard of accidents



kinda cute...
:rotfl:

It all started one sunny day in the SH3 boards, when a ferret named Dowly needed a name for his newly-founded Humorous Pictures thread:

One simple joke and a legend was born.:rock:

:huh: I think UBI is finaly paying attention to us, they used something we made up.:huh: (i think)

UBI has always paid attention. When people were complaining about the 'babysitter' Crew Management system in SH3, one player said what it really needs is a 'Watch Bill' automatic rotation system, since that's the way it works in real life; and look what turned up in SH4. They read these threads, and they pay attention to what the players want.:sunny:

Gotta love UBI for including a joke like that ... it won't mean a thing to most people but it'll put a smile on subsimmers faces.

I always want to name my German captainsafter Karl Heinrich, Graf von Altberg-Ehrenstein, Lieutenant-Commander in the Imperial German Navy from H.P. Lovecraft's submarine short story "The Temple". Unfortunately there aren't enough characters for that.

Short story can be found HERE if anyone is interested.
