Hmmm.....I'd disagree with your statement about F4's following.

Not to mention Night bombing in a lancaster
A WW2 tanksim hasnt been done in awhile and I have yet to see one where you take a tank crew through the war upgradeing as the war progresses

Well I think if you read all the post about Modern Sub Sim versus WW2 Sub Sim, the WW2 wins. Ubisoft has a winner here with WW2 and I do not see the changing anytime soon and I hope they don't. Like what was said by others in here, the modern sub sim is just too boring and push button. The WW2 is much more challenging and fun. Not to mention, the WW2 sub systems are declassified and most of the modern subs systems are still classified. So very little is known about how they operate and that is a key killer point for making a realistic sub sim.:nope:
If you want a modern sub sim go and talk with the makers of Dangerous Waters.;)

But Dnagerous Waters is too poor with graphics, not to mention 2D panels....
They could go to navsource.org, see some samples a make, say:
1. US SSN Seawolf
2. US SSN LA 688i
3. USS SSBN OHIO
4. RU SSN Akula
5. RU SSN Alfa
6. RU SSBN Typhoon
Make fictional story such as Red Storm Rising or The Hunt for Red october.
Also add nuke missiles, and all hell's gonna break loose!!!!
As for enemy detection, you have a complicated sonar system for detecting & classifying contacts.... And yes! Damage reports. I want water leak [if possible].
And stay silent.
Would be nice if diesels team up with nukes....
Imagine nuke vs. wwii diesel sub or even u-boat. Maybe XXI would stand a chance...:|\\ :arrgh!: :ping:
Sonar: Conn, Sonar: I have a distant contact, submerged. Probably u-boat, sir!
Skipp: Sonar, Conn: Don't bulls**t me, sonar, or no meal for 2 days!
Sonar: Sonar, aye! [To himself: Jackass!].
Skipp: I heard you, sonar!
Sonar: Sorry, sir, just thinking out loud. And BTW, torpedo in the water, straight running, closing fast!
Skipp: And what's it gonna do, kill us? Gimme a break...
Sonar: Aye, sir. Cap'n, a favor?
Skipp: Speak.
Sonar: Tell the people I owe the money to f**k off!
Skipp: Dismissed!:doh: :damn:

I'd love to see a new WW2 game with state of the art graphics. :up: SH3 is a great game but looking forward to going back to the Pacific.

I think you all are missing a great period for the next SHIV. Thru the mists of time it comes:

"Silent Hunter IV. THE HUNDLEY ATTACKS":arrgh!: :arrgh!: :arrgh!:


I think a remake of Red Storm Rising and Task Force 1942 would be fantastic.:up:

Agree 100%!!!:up: :up: :know: :rock: :arrgh!: :|\\

:up: :up: :up:

I'm already looking at buying Destroyer Command, and if they were to come out with a Destroyer Command II I'd snap it right up.

Hi everyone:) I have Janes 688i Hunter\Killer & Dangerous Waters. Played both for a while for a change of pace. Their both on the shelf now gathering dust. I like to see what I kill.:up: " What you kill you keep" SH-3 ,GW1.1a :rock: Good Hunting

I'm so new the ink isn't dry on my enlistment contract. I played [and will always have] both F/A-18 and Falcon 4. Fantastically great 'study' games. Personally, I leaned to the Hornet for realism and the Viper for 'game-play'. So when I decided to get my feet in the water, I first chased down a used 688i... and was learning on that. Realizing where it all led, I bought a new D/W..'and' the $'s book. None of it 'fit'. Then I stumbled onto SH3 for $18 in a Navy Exchange...WOW! All the realism an old surface sailor can ask for...and none of the 'watching paint dry' of Modern Boats. Without a doubt, the Modern Jet games are much more interesting than the Modern Boat games. All I had to do was gag down the Swastikas. Sure Das Boat was a great flick, but *I* remember 'Pearl' . As I learn more of the intense depth of SH3, I can't wait for SH4 ! Heck, if nothing else the water is warmer out there.. and I know!

Bring on SH4...please... and soon..

Hi Goat :) I'm with you.:up: I also have an extensive list of flight sims"WWII & Modern.Luv em. USE Saitek X52 controllers .Wish they came with rudder pedals:cry: . Btw. Iused to live in a place called Bainbridge Is. near Bangor in Wash State. Bangor is a Trident sub base. I can tell you a short story if your interested that will make your hair stand on end . Good Hunting:lurk:

I've got the X52 controllers, too: joystick and throttle . . . swe-eeeet!:up:

I just need to go to college to figger out all dem buttons, switches, rockers, etc. :p

I wish they had rudders, too, darrnit. I hate having to twist-a-stick to simulate rudder motion.:cry:

Firewall... My current home port is near Port Angeles. Have waited for a lot of boats to pass through the Hood Canal bridge.

I'm so new I don't remember if there is P.M. on this web page or not, but if I know Sea-Stories, they all begin with "This ain't no ****", and the other rule is The First Liar Stands No Chance ...;)

Yes, I keep the Plane Games on my old '98 machine with the Voodoo5 video. It runs games of that Era better than all the XP/New Video ones around. Maybe I'll light 'em off again one of these days when I FINALLY plot a good intercept course... then figure out how to USE the '3:15' rule..etc. I've got lots of time, but the learnin' comes slower now!!!

Be Happy... So Cal isn't all bad either, as I remember

Von Hesse...you are good for morale ! I *had* a Cougar. More trouble remembering the buttons and levers than.... the game. I literally gave that thing away to a Gullible One. Was tickled pink to have it out of the house !

A very nice thing I like about the Saitek X52 is they are custom-programmable. Every button, knob, dial . . . you can even print out the template and note which-does-what, and set them for what you want. And it even has a button you can toggle that lets you push things and see what you set them for. So you can find out that, yes, that button does fire your Harpoon without actually firing it.:D
