Hi!
I think
Dangerous Waters and the various
Harpoon flavors pretty much have the modern and Cold War submarine and naval combat stuff locked up - at least there won't be lots reason to argue about "realism" because I'd guess the "real" info is mostly classified - so let's think about where
Silent Hunter has gone so far:
- Silent Hunter: U.S. in the Pacific
- Silent Hunter II: Germany in the Atlantic, with a companion Destroyer Command for human vs. human.
- Silent Hunter III: Do-over of Germany in the Atlantic
- Silent Hunter IV: Do-over of U.S. in the Pacific
I think it's time for another do-over, but this time have
one sim that allows you to take
either side in a campaign: Allies (U.S., Britain, Soviet Union) or Axis (Germany, Japan). Throw in player-controlled destroyers for all sides, modifiable AI, and realistic flight models and behavior for the aircraft and I think you have a winner - an "IL-2" for World War II naval combat.
