bout time there was a decent single player game.......maybe there are more but I havn't found many.
When is this medic avatar going to disappear it is starting to annoy me.

No, I meant that you take one sub and another human player takes the second sub. Then you can kill each other if you like. :) SH3 doesn´t have AI subs.

IIRC after your 200th post.

The trouble is how many people would like to play SH-III this way. Besides, are torpedo guided? If not, how do I shoot at an enemy sub.

We have a "Multiplayer Matchup" forum, I´m sure that you would find an opponent.

Later torpedos are sound guided. I don´t know if they would follow a sub which dives to 150-200 meters.

Well I think you are misunderstanding WWII technology and the goals of sub combat at this time. Sub vs. sub combat just did not happen in WWII, underwater anyway, except one time by a fluke, IIRC. Mostly it was one sub being caught on the surface by another. WWII subs though were mostly targeting surface ships, warships or most effectively merchants. German subs against allied shipping in the Atlantic and elsewhere, UK subs in the Med, US subs in the Pacific. Stalking convoys was the name of the game. :arrgh!:

If you want sub vs. sub warfare I strongly recommend Dangerous Waters, Sub Command or any one of the modern games. DW has a demo you can download and try out probably more up your alley. Plus they support multiplayer. :rock:

And the guided torpedoes will only (mostly) follow targets that move at or above 10 knots, which only the XXI can do in SH3 (submerged).

On another note, I'm actually quite impressed with the AI behaviour in SH3. It has some flaws like with all other games, but all in all it's quite good.

I'm also thinking of getting Dangerous Waters, because I loved the old 688(i), and as I understand it DW is quite similar, only better. But I can highly recommend SH3 for great atmosphere and great graphics. I've never played it online, but the single player mode is excellent.

Maybe Ubi will release Destroyer Command II and one could then duel head to head like one can do with Destroyer Command and SH II

Ummm you can already do that :-j I think you meant DC3 :yep:

I think he has it right, SH2 and DC...did I miss DC2?

No there have been 3 releases in the Silent Hunter series, I II and now III. Only one DC...which was "paired" with SH2.

Get the game. You won't be disapointed.

There are documented cases of sub duels, and British subs did lay in wait in the Bay of Biscay. But unlike modern subs, the chances of taking out an enemy sub when both of you are submerged, are pretty unrealistic. You might take one out on the surface, if their bridge watch isn't on the ball, but that's about it

Yes, that's kind of human Vs human MP games I fancy. It is not necessarily sub Vs sub you know. I suppose one will have to listen to the sonar, pick up the activities in the vincnity and lay depth-charge and things like that.

By the way, I have re-installed Jane's Fleet Command after like almost 2 years since I played it last. The feeling started coming back as I launch SS missiles against unknown targets. It's very real though graphics is not very eye-candy like. I am also excited about the Multiplayer option. It supports Internet connection though I doubt nowadays, how many are still playing this game online. Just don't know how and where to find human players online. But it is a good game. I am now searching all the updates and hopefully will get the game running in Windows 98SE as well as Windows XP. The retail version is not supposed to run under XP.
