'Boat on the surface captain', 'Now running on diesel engines!'
Woa I'm not the only one playing AOD!
I personaly think they're too many little (and not so little) things wrong with SH3 to make it my number 1 subsim. Here's just a few of these little things that drive me nuts in SH3; I can't even enter the name Christopher Werner, not enough space. Where is La Rochelle? The water depth is way too shallow (in the bay of Biscay for example). Then there's the 'big ones', no wolfpacks, no convoy zig zags, no dynamic radio communications. I'm not sure if all these things I've mentioned have been modded, but still... I remember for a while my SH3 folder became a huge bloated modded monster. But I digress, I don't want to turn this into a SH3 bashing post. SH3 does have some things that it does well, like manual targeting, great eye candy and ear candy too! (hehe ear candy...)
But in the end, AOD is the game that makes me feel like in the Das Boot movie.
I remember reading somewhere that the AOD programmers watched Das Boot over and over again, and it shows!
Aces of the Deep, still king of the atlantic!
