a crazy idea..

well, it would just be the main elements of the submarine, mainly the control room..the steering and depth controls, along with the sonar, hydrophone, radar and such..just to simplify things, but the inside would be based on a real submarine, and i think an s-class would be pretty cool..just because well, hey there fun to use..but it could be any boat of the war really

They've had one at the submarine school for ages, changing to new ones as fleet boats were replaced by nukes. I remember seeing a training film showing the officers practicing dives on a tilting platform rigged up exactly like the control room of a diesel sub. Would be expensive to build tho.

You know what? I'd go for that. Especially if there were, say, three or four of those rooms radio-linked. Get a bunch of the community members together, take over the place for the weekend, and run a series of joint operations, starting with initial contact, work through intercept, coordinate with the other boats for targets and firing. Sounds like a great way to kill a weekend to me.

What would be nirvana, an Omnimax type screen wrapped around the top of the conning tower with a 3D world simulated every direction you looked when you climbed up the hatch to the bridge. Again outrageously expensive now, but as technology advances who knows. Wrap around VR helmet would be much cheaper and possibly more effective.

You could do a deck gun simulation as simple as a driving range simulator, then kick it up a notch with a tilting platform.

yea, well i think the idea of having several rooms linked so multiple subs could work together would be awesome..it wouldn't have to be super expensive but having the basics would be nice, like for example what you see in the command room on silent hunter, you see the important things but not every single wire...it would be really fun and you could even educate people on submarine warfare with it, i wouldn't care if it had a tilting platform or not, it would be cool regardless but the simulator would require loads of teamwork..i wouldent mind sitting at one station for a few hours talking to friends or something..but im considering the S class boats, seeing as how in my opinion they are really fun and pretty enjoyable to learn and since they aren't as advanced, they require a bit more thinking...also for a sim it would be easier to build since there smaller..im enjoying everyone's opinions though!

Join the Navy and volunteer for subs. It's cheaper and really provides you with the real feeling!
