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

EDIT: AND PATIENCE!
Damn right mate...

Interesting poll. On another gaming site, I'm always the oldest guy (I'm 59 years young, for your information).

I've an interest in submarine sims because on a real-life mission (don't ask, I can't tell!), I was picked up by a 688 and had a dandy ride with good comradeship and the best food I've ever eaten, all the way back to the States. That was a long time ago, but I'll never forget the "thrill" of going down ... every sound was the hull rupturing, in my imagination.

I was so interested in submarines, that I tried to change services. However, I was told that I was too old to go to the school. So, I just kept my Winchester Model 70 in good shape and did what I was trained to do.

One thing that I would like to see done is a modern sim, using the basic SH game engine. However, I quite content with SH3 and SH4.

Hello, sunvalleyslim! I was born on July 11, 1948. I'm trying to see which one of us is the older.

51 yr old 80's rocker! Been playing the series since SH1 and couldn't wait to get back to the Pacific with SH4! Although I bought both SH2-3, I never got into them much. And I was so busy this past summer with work that I couldn't really get into SH4. But I'm looking forward to some long winter weekends where I can get lost in the Pacific once again!

Well, let me remember.... It began with Gato in 1985, Silent Service I & II, Silent Hunter 1,2,3 & 4, Aces of the deep, i688 attack Sub.an Must have forgotten one or two... My first computer was in 1978, and I'm a 55 male. Apart from subsims, I'm an old survivor from the Kilrathi wars
