What is the difference between watching uncut version of Das Boot and spending a few hours with SH3?

Getting to look at real live men getting all scruffy and sweaty, as opposed to a monotonous virtual crew that's not even remotely fap-worthy*?

*My navigator not included.**

**Wait, did I just think that or did I type it out loud?

Das Boot: Loads a whole lot faster.

SH3: Doesn't have the same scenes every time you play it.

Das Boot: Has a real mock-up u-boat.

SH3: You don't know what comes next.

Das Boot: Has real actors who sound like real men, as opposed to fakey-sounding voice actors.

SH3: I use the Das Boot Sound mod, so there is no difference.

So Das Boot is much better than SH3 when I want to watch a good movie, and SH3 is much better than Das Boot when I want to do it myself.

Well at least no one mentioned Crash Dive.

Yes, Steve, I know it has your S Boats in colour.

Forced to choose between watching U571 and Crash Dive, I would reluctantly choose U571. And I hate U571.

Ugh!!!! I watched that for about 15 minutes (right up until the one guy is on the train) and had to turn it off. I know its propaganda but didn't anyone seriously believe this stuff?

Gerald · 06-07-11, 09:33 PM

What stuff,

Castout · 06-10-11, 06:27 AM

I vouch for Das Boot(what else

), The Hunt of the Red October and K-13 which is while not a battle action ridden movie is trying to accurately depict a Soviet crew historical ordeal on that particular submarine.

That's it and down periscope for funny sub movie.

Schwieger · 06-10-11, 02:26 PM

Surprised no one has mentioned Torpedo Run. Has to be one of my favourites.

Platapus · 06-11-11, 07:50 AM

Torpedo Run is also a good one!

One WWII sub movie I missed for a long time was Hellcats of the Navy.

Silly me, I thought it was a movie about WWII fighters, specifically the F6F. Then I noticed it in a store and I realized that I had neglected my Sub collection!

It is not bad. Any movie with Ronald Reagan has low expectations. But this one was not too bad.

Do you always post without bothering to read the thread first?

I never said otherwise. I keep it just for the boat footage unavailable anywhere else in the world.

Above Us The Waves, a superb John Mills film about a British submarine's mission to sink a German pocket battleship. While the technical details are generally very good, the real strength of the film lies in the well-drawn, sympathetically-realised characters. The crew and their personal lives are all depicted superbly without ever falling into the realm of soap opera.

It's on YouTube in its entirety:

It's like the scene in 12 O'Clock High in which a B-17 does a long protracted belly flop. They were a dime-a-dozen in those days and they didn't blink twice about racking one up.

Sadly, we just lost the Liberty Bell yesterday. She crashed on take-off and miraculously the pilot and 6 passengers walked away... ... then she burned.

Hehe... ... she said fap-worthy....
