I bought Silent Hunter 5 just last weekend (a drunk decision no less), but I'm glad I got it. Either I've played the 'run & gun' type of games too often (mindless games) or most games just aren't very 'strategic' anymore. I'm having a blast with SH5, even though it took me quite a while to 'master' the torpedoes. It's probably the first 'real strategic' game I've played since Silent Service for NES.. forever ago. I have the steam version (which I've been reading, it might've not been the best choice
) but I'm going to see about using the mods.
Happy hunting
