Just imagine crawling up at less than 1 knot to a naval ship and spending minutes boring through to the hull to plant an explosive keg which might blow you up too if you didn't get away fast enough!

Awesome!

just imagine the the TDC mods for the turtle!:rotfl:

If you gain enough renown you get an extra flotation cask. Of course the first game year is spent building the thing. Not much of a dynamic campaign.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm SH5 Would be nice.....AS A BRITISH SUB !....You could play both theatres, against the Germans and the Japanese. All is in place already with SH3 and SH4. If not, give us Destroyer command 2......Salute !

Hopefully it will be an update of GNBNA with subs modeled also, I neeeeeed an updated GNBNA

I look at SH4 and can see the potential for a Naval Sim along those lines.

That and the number of joysticks required to operate the unit...... 2 to drive the screws, another for the drill / auger. You'd be sweating in no time.

I was more of a Track and Field fan. Yes, I'll get arthritis, but I can still hurl a 16bit colour shotput further than you. :rotfl:

A cross between DW and Harpoon? Only with nicer graphics?

But if we are to take Sage Neal's description of "action", that might not work. I wouldnt classify DW as an action game :p

Personally, I think that a true subsim has to set the player aboard a Submarine for the majority of the sim. I've never played Destroyer Command, but from the title I'm guessing you're aboard a Destroyer atleast half the time, making it a Destroyer sim, not a SUBsim. Dangerous Waters is a Naval sim, not a Subsim. So, that should narrow it down a little, but I think Neal still refers to any game featuring a submarine, as a 'Subsim', bless his polyester socks.

As most people who voted in my poll will know, I would like to see a new Cold-War era Subsim, but I would be happy with any new dedicated Submarine simulation.

Maybe I'm grasping at straws here, but both DW and Fleet Command have alot of action in them. And DW is a subsim, but alot more too. I would agree that DW can't be termed as an "action" game. But a Fleet Command 2 fits the bill hopefully. We'll see........
