When Silent Hunter three was released on March 15th 2005 for about 2 or 3 months prior to that date i had really looked forward to release because of all the screen shots and videos available at the official SH3 website.
It would be my estimate that approximately 2 months before release we will have so much information available to us... probably even a playable demo... that it wont even be funny.
Screen shots, tutorial videos for download, desk top backgrounds and screen savers etc.
all we must exercise right now is patience on a grand scale.
In time, all of your questions will be answered, and in time all of the screen shots you could ever desire will be made available...
... in time you will be giving orders to your Silent hunter 5 crew
so, for now, sit back, relax and enjoy the anticipation.
