Well, I have SHCE installed under XP with the VDMS configuration. I only really discovered WWII sub sims last year.
At the moment, I am busy playing AOD [DOS].
Some of my initial impressions of AOD and SH1 are:
(1) There is way too much Japanese shipping in SH1. In AOD, you have to patrol. In SH1, you are hard pressed not to run into the enemy.
(2) Escorts seem harder to evade in AOD. In SH1, I have successfully evaded 5+ escorts that originally located me. Also, SH1 escorts are prone to ambush attacks.
(3) SH1 merchants seem more likely to have deck guns and night/fog attacks seem much riskier than AOD.
Full campaigns take so long to run ... When I finally complete AOD, I want to go play an SH1 campaign ... And then, I also want to play some SH2/PA too.
Not to mention all the SCXIIC/SCU missions I have downloaded.
I think I'll just be on patrol until I am old and gray!
