So who is actually *HAPPY* to have a Pacific subsim?
 

With all the bitchin' and moaning about what is and isn't in the game, who is actually happy to have a subsim in the PTO?
I know I damn well am, there''s a massive shortage of PTO games of any quality in sims, besides a few arcade ones we've only got the half baked pacific fighters expansion and SH4.

Not to sound like a Mickey Dee's advert, but i'm lovin' it! :yep:

I'm happy !! Just hoping the guys who made the subs in real life dont come after ubi like they did with pacific fighters and shut em down. Although I can't think of anything huge that's missing from the sounds of it! If you can't tell I dont have it yet, called my local eb games and they told me SH4 is not being made anymore LOL Guess I'll just order online.

Agree. Not played in the pacific theatre for a long long time, so it's nice to be back. It's funny you mention Pacific Fighters, because this is looking to be fairly half baked as well.

I am!!!!

I've been re-reading Silent Victory in anticipation of SHIV, and can't wait to get back in an S-Boat in the defense of the Phillipines. Not taking anything away from SHIII with the fantastic GWX expansion, but I just find the Pacific Theatre much more interesting.

Shut them down ? Sorry I dont know the story could you please elaborate ?

It's good to be back in the Pacific once again. SHIV will have problems but the modders will rev it up and it will be fine.Just look at SH2 and what a "train wreck" it was. The modders saved it for all of us. They did an outstanding job with SH3 also.Just look at GWX 1.02. WOW!!!!! :D

my thoughts exactly...:up:

I'm excited!


Where the Atlantic battles were great and the games fun - I really have been waiting to go back to the Pacific for a long time.

FINALLY - my dreams are coming true with this new release. I'm sure bugs happen, no game is PERFECT. (If it was, there would never be a need to create another)

Can't wait til my own copy arrives here in the USA!

I am very happy with the game overall. A few nasty bugs like target speed not working but the game is fun and very nice. I'm confident that we will se a patch coming real soon fixing the worst bugs. I got the Deluxe box and i can say that its awesome :)

For instance, when a torpedo hits a ship the crew on deck crouches with their hands covering their heads...many small cool details in the game ;)

IIRC, Northrop-Grumman demanded an excessive amount of royalties from Ubi and Maddox Games if they included anything Grumman or any other company in their conglomeration. This essentially shut down any additions of US aircraft in patches and updates. :stare:

Part of something is better...
Then all of nothing.

Well, I'm thrilled and excited.
 

Not to mention obsessed.

I am.

Me, me, me, me, me, me!!!!!!1:up:

Im estatic.

Im sick and tired of german uboats. Its been rehashed, and overdone too many times with AOD, SH2, and SH3.

Time for something new! :up:

Wow !...A posative post and indeed whole thread about SHIV, Do you want a cup of coffee, splash of rum in it ?...hold on I'll get that for you.:)

It makes a nice change to see a post/thread like this with so much other negative vibes on the forum...I was just about to quit subsim...mind you they are at it on Ubi forums too:roll: I cant get away from it.

Yes Ok so the game needs to be patched, er...nothing new there then. But its nice to read that you say "the game is fun and nice"

Just as long as it's playable until patched them I'm easy !

Yes - UBI/Maddox made a big mistake by using phrasing like:
"Grumman TBF Avenger" instead of "TBF Avenger" - and then they didn't ask permission on top of that. So...the lawyers at NG got into a huff and ensured that add-on patches did not include any additional US models. What went missing you ask? How about a dynamite looking Devestator and a very cool model of the USS Yorktown. A real pity that UBI was so foolish and NG was so greedy.

Not going to happen. Subs are made by US ShipPorts that are bought and paid for with US tax dollars.

Planes are a different story. Companies Build the planes and hope and prey the Military buys the contracts.

Back on topic.


ME!

What can I say...

Back in the Pac for a good attack :up:

I love the Pacific theatre and am quite happy to be in it again. I think it's even more suited to my own tastes, though I'm not abandoning my U-boats either.

This is gonna be a lot of fun. Hopefully all the more fun once we get some mods and patches to balance it out more nicely...
