The Dance of the 688(I)s

FPSchazly · 01-23-19, 11:53 AM

Hey, all! A while back, a friend and I were running some experiments and decided to mess around at the end. We collided our 688(I)s together at flank speed and wow the collision physics in Dangerous Waters are wonky!

Enjoy.

Yes, indeed. Gotta break up the monotony somehow!

Yes, it is quite old. Crazy to think about, I can remember playing it when it came out. Here's to something in the future!

Hey all,

I'm a sub sim n00b (or re-n00b). On one hand, the graphics don't necessarily bother me. I still play original Harpoon and Tracon in DOSbox. As long as the game concept is good...

Now having said that, and I hope this is not a flamewar topic, how does Cold Waters stack up to Dangerous Waters?

Thanks,

Firstly welcome to subsim

Secondly cold waters is Moreno like the old Tom Clancy SSN and personally I'm not a fan I much prefer the simulated stations that you get in DW and the feel for command

My vote goes to DW if you played sub command it's almost the same except more playable units including air and surface in the stock and with DWX it improves it a lot
