AOTD still is great
 

Engaged a 1/41 convoy with a night surface attack well west of the shallower waters leading into the North channel northeast of Ireland. On the edge of deep/shallower waters. Sunk a 2k cargo and a 15k troop ship.

After disengaging to reload and avoid escorts, I got back into position on an 18k troop ship when the convoy turned away, literally a couple seconds before I was going to fire.

This turn alerted the escorts to my presence, and I spent the next few hours running from a corvette and destroyer. Destroyer went back to the convoy, corvette pressed the pursuit.

By this time, I was starting to get boxed in from the nearing shorelines. Meanwhile, the convoy had ducked into a port on the north side of Ireland.

While passing this port to the north, well off shore many miles outside visible range, there are suddenly FOUR new escorts pursuing me coming from the port, with the same dogged one from the night attack behind me ! It is now daylight, early morning.

The new escorts were three corvettes and one destroyer. Couldn't outrun the destroyer of course, had to crash dive.
Went to as deep as I could safely go (shallow waters) to 180 meters and eventually evaded the destroyer with no damage.

Still an amazing game; chasing corvette basically "radioed" ahead for help and they almost cut my escape off.
Also amazing, the convoy left the port after I passed the port, going in the opposite direction. Basically waiting out the action until safe to proceed it would seem.

Always did like this message; no more pesky status reports !

I like the SH3 wolf packs, but I like the AOD ones even more. Not only are they faster to appear and act than their SH3 counterparts, they also call in contact reports of their own drawing in other subs to the pack instead of you having to do the entire job yourself.

IS this game available ?? AOTD was great
 

How can I best fire this game up. I have win 8.1 I owned several copies of this one and have never had any luck with win version
Does any one make a kit for DOS game or a patch from window version assume that you are dealing with a nubee here am I going a bridge too far here??

SH III is fading since some mods like commander will no longer work with win 7 ( my sh III is on a win 7 machine)

If you end up getting it be sure to get AOD, not CAOD. CAOD is buggy.

Sir, I never doubt that it's one of the greatest u-boat simulations so far even it's an old gem of mid-1990s.

It's superior to SH3 in numerous ways. One of the main reasons I still play it regularly is because the escorts actually behave like escorts vs. the cream puffs in SH3.
In AOD, one fears the escorts. In SH3, meh.

Yup, It has very unforgiving escorts and gigantic convoys. Most of the time you gotta try to avoid the detection of that deadly escorts and once they catch you that's gonna be a very long and hard evasion.
