I'll always support any new subsim and Dev team.....I'm just a WWII U Boat guy at heart

Yea, Military sims are so rare nowadays that I tends to buy them all just to give the devs some support.

Yes, I want to try this too...but I don't want to spend $40 to try it out and find I don't like it, and go past the Steam refund window...

I was hopeful of this going on sale in the last Steam sale, but no luck, so I am going to hang fire at the moment, as $40 is too much to gamble right now...

I doubt this will go on sale anytime soon, being so new, so I think I will just end up watching from the sidelines for now...but all kudos to the devs in keeping a steady stream of good quality updates coming...

Go watch some of "Jive Turkey"'s gameplay video on youtube. He was a sonar techs on the 688s and eventual was part of the training team teaching the new crews on the new boats. One note though. He spent a lot of time in 3D view for streaming videos as they are more attractive to viewers.

I would second that
Jive Turkey is certainly one of the most entertaining and interesting Cold Waters YouTubers IMO

After watching a few of his Vids playing the campaign, you should certainly get a feel as to whether or not you would enjoy the game

Kevin....I don't know you from Adam, but if $40 is a bit steep for you, I'd like to buy the game for you myself.

I'm just having too much fun with it and would hate to see someone want to try it out but be held back because of money.

I think Steam has a gift function we could use if you're interested.

I am an SH3 fanatic. I enjoy this game because it takes away some of the serious immersion. It's a different view of a different era in a different vehicle.

Same boat as you ( ) for sure. I went back to SH5 from Cold Waters, and my first thought while going 2 knots underwater was "come on you ****ty old rust bucket - where's my Skipjack?"

I found it super refreshing tbh. I never played any of the old modern sub games. (lol old modern sounds weird).

HeeHee, you are too kind, and I am not sure if you were in a semi joking mood when you "made the offer", but honestly, money per se is not the issue...it is more about having a gaming budget every month (for both PC/PS4 and physical board games), and not "squandering" $40 that could purchase a PS4 game (for instance)...

I am leaning towards taking the plunge now, especially as I read more and more features being added, but more so now because the game must be pretty darned good if someone who doesn't know me, must be enjoying it a whole lot if they are prepared to buy me a copy!!

So thanks for your post, and of all of the posts that have been made, your offer actually gives me the most confidence to make the purchase...so I am at work right now, but I will probably hit the "buy" button when I get home later

Thanks for your post/offer...

Cheers,
Kevin

I am in the same boat calling it quits...I cannot get any of the mods to work after the last patch...

No worries sir. I was quite serious, but I quite understand about budget vs ability.

As you said I don't know who is who around here and as far as I know you could be a 20 year old kid starting out, or a 70 year old crank on a budget.


I remember years ago just out of college I was part of a flight simming group bemoaning the fact that my sound card had just died and needing to wait a few weeks to squeeze out money for a replacement.

Well some guy I never met before up and sent me the $50 for an old sound blaster card and I never forgot it.

I don't give money to people actively asking or begging, but if I run across someone like you on the fence about something and a few unexpected bucks can make a difference....well....karma goes around right?
