I bought this game in early 2007, I had seen it on shelves and eventually I gave in and bought it.
Wow!
After learning the controls and getting accustomed to controlling the sub and lurking and searching the forums here I've learned alot about tactics to employ and as such I've up'd my difficulty to around 57% - from 29% when I first got the game - and It's now in my current "
All Time playable Games" list that I always end up coming back to (Starcraft & Rome: Total War are also on this list).
I played the game and then once I learned the DiD moniker I tried that and got up to 1943. I bought SHIV but felt as if while more visually appealing I was less immersed into the game.
I think it's just the plain and simple HUD, that coupled with the feeling of having the War shift as it get progressivly harder. I mean you start out hunting with impunity and by '42 you start to see that you've become the hunted. In '43 I would only surface at night.
I must say this is a fantastic game and an awesome community. Kudos Gentlemen
