I have no military service.
16 years USN.... started as an Enlisted Gunners Mate Missleman, worked up to E7 then took an LDO Commission to Weps Officer.
Two years in that same USN, but a good part of one of them was spent in sunny VietNam, so it feels like 20.

Well im just 15 and know the SH series since SHII (and play it since then. well, I guess I didn't lurk for an enemy in SH2 for the time I do it now, but anyway..) You see that im probably not "usual"^^. Wow that must sound strange, but it isn't!

I just dislike that ego shooters like GRAW, Rainbow Six Vegas, COD or Crysis. hm.. halo is okay but anyway..
Im happy if I can race within Trackmania, get new records in Colin Mc Raes Rally Games, do a long haul flight with Microsoft flightsim or build a huge nation out of small hamlets in anno1701.... And Silent Hunter for me is nice because it is the right mix out of strategy and kinda ego shooter.

My 2 cents..

EDIT: I see, SH2 is availabe since the year 2001. I did NOT play it at that time.. That would really be strange in my eyes. I dunno, I probably played it in 2004.

I´m 41 ...

I been playing SH1 and SH3, currently I play SH4. The only other game I play is the old Alien vs. Predator 2, and I´m pretty damn good as Predator. Almost same tactics in that game as in Silent Hunter games...sneak up...line-up for a good aim...and kill.

Every one can run around just shooting...but when it comes to Silent Hunter games you will need something else...

I'm almost 70. I worked for Intel and developed a fondness for the computer. Have been playing games since I retired from there. SH3 and SH4 are new to me. I played 677 a long time ago and also Gato. Was into flight sims since 1999 but it is getting old. Still waiting for Storm of War.

Call of duty 4 looks good and also pretty hectic. I'll wait till the price comes down.

Really enjoying SH4 and SH3 with the mods.

Was in the Navy in 1955 as plane captain for F2H-2 Banshees on CVA-33.

Later....

36 m but rapidly approaching 37.

Spent many an hour on flight sims before finding SH3 and SH4. I think the trick is to get married before discovering sims. Wifey just rolls her eyes now

Off-Topic, admins delete if you feel it should be:
If so I'd recommend the two best freeware military strategy games out there!
