So who is actually *HAPPY* to have a Pacific subsim?

With all the bitchin' and moaning about what is and isn't in the game, who is actually happy to have a subsim in the PTO?
I know I damn well am, there''s a massive shortage of PTO games of any quality in sims, besides a few arcade ones we've only got the half baked pacific fighters expansion and SH4.

Not to sound like a Mickey Dee's advert, but i'm lovin' it!

I'm happy !! Just hoping the guys who made the subs in real life dont come after ubi like they did with pacific fighters and shut em down. Although I can't think of anything huge that's missing from the sounds of it! If you can't tell I dont have it yet, called my local eb games and they told me SH4 is not being made anymore LOL Guess I'll just order online.

Agree. Not played in the pacific theatre for a long long time, so it's nice to be back. It's funny you mention Pacific Fighters, because this is looking to be fairly half baked as well.

I am!!!!

I've been re-reading Silent Victory in anticipation of SHIV, and can't wait to get back in an S-Boat in the defense of the Phillipines. Not taking anything away from SHIII with the fantastic GWX expansion, but I just find the Pacific Theatre much more interesting.

It's good to be back in the Pacific once again. SHIV will have problems but the modders will rev it up and it will be fine.Just look at SH2 and what a "train wreck" it was. The modders saved it for all of us. They did an outstanding job with SH3 also.Just look at GWX 1.02. WOW!!!!!

my thoughts exactly...

John B. Mayes · 03-20-07, 01:12 PM

I'm excited!

Where the Atlantic battles were great and the games fun - I really have been waiting to go back to the Pacific for a long time.

FINALLY - my dreams are coming true with this new release. I'm sure bugs happen, no game is PERFECT. (If it was, there would never be a need to create another)

Can't wait til my own copy arrives here in the USA!

I am very happy with the game overall. A few nasty bugs like target speed not working but the game is fun and very nice. I'm confident that we will se a patch coming real soon fixing the worst bugs. I got the Deluxe box and i can say that its awesome

For instance, when a torpedo hits a ship the crew on deck crouches with their hands covering their heads...many small cool details in the game

IIRC, Northrop-Grumman demanded an excessive amount of royalties from Ubi and Maddox Games if they included anything Grumman or any other company in their conglomeration. This essentially shut down any additions of US aircraft in patches and updates.
