Which simulators deserve their own sub-forum here?

Onkel Neal · 11-12-07, 03:16 PM

Horsa suggested we open a Shells of Fury sub-forum. I'm also looking for recommendations on any other popular sub/ship games that Subsim members play and want to discuss. Which sub/naval games do other than SH3/4 and Dangerous Waters do you play? If you have a game in mind, are there several guys here who play it? Will the forum get a fair number of posts and activity?

Battlestations Midway?
Ship Simulator?
Pacific Storm?
Navy Field?

thanks

Well, despite its warts, I've long been a champion of 1914-Die Schalen des Zorns (aka Shells of Fury), and there are efforts being made to mod it (by CB and myself plus a few others), so I think it certainly deserves a place to live, as it seems odd that a commercially available sub sim would not have a home on a sub website. Especially odd when there is an aeroplane and tank forum, not to mention one for the PT Boat sim that is more overdue for arrival than PT-109! The fact that it's the only WW1 sub sim you can currently get means it could do with some support too if we ever hope to see another. The official Rondomedia website for it has virtual tumbleweed blowing through it, so a forum for it on Subsim would doubtless attract traffic, as there are few places for fans of it to congregate.

Similarly, Enigma RT should probably get one since it is still popular with many, is commercially available, is a sub sim (at least partially), and is getting a revamp too!

There do seem to be quite a lot of subs made for Virtual Sailor from what I can gather, so maybe that's a contender, as I've no doubt with a few decent metatags, people searching for subs to put in it would find their way to Subsim, and that's got to be good for website traffic.
