I actualy just got into subs recently. I have always found them interesting though never really knew there were many sims for them (remember seeing Janes 688 several times in stores but never thought about getting it).
About a month ago I disided i wanted to play a challenging game and couldnt really think of anything. I saw a review for Silent Hunter 3 on tv and thought it looked really good and disided i was going to go buy it. I was searching on the web for a online sale and saw subsim.com and thought it was really cool that they accualy had a site about subsims alone. The review on the subsim that i read had references to other subsims so i thought i should check out other sims before disideing SH3 was what i wanted. I read about Sub Command and and fell in love with the akula
. Never heard about stallions until then, just the idea of killing another sub from 30 miles away got me to buy the game. Been playing it sence and heard about DW over the forums and have recently ordered it offline (plan on playing it after i feel i have learned and got everything i can out of sub command. Probabley still go back to sub command for some of its mods and fan made missions).
After getting SC i went out and rented Das Book, and some other sub movies, and bought a few submarine books (have to say Hunt For Red October is my fav sub movie though). Been enjoying the whole thing ever since and hope to get SH3 sometime, probabley wait awile since i dont like cramming games together. Also trying to find a good Akula model.
