Mystery Subsim #35

[Schultzy]

SH2?

[richardphat]

ALARM! detecting radar signal in SH3! Guess my first chance is gone

[Captain Vlad]

Arrrrgh! I knew I'd stared at those squiggles a lot.

[Stealth Hunter]

Looks like SH4 to me.

[Onkel Neal]

He scores again! A lot of people get close but Subnuts hits MOT.

The subsim that changed everything: Silent Hunter III


From the review:

I have to confess that after seeing SH3 a year ago at E3, and again during the October 2004 Sub Club meeting, it’s been truly hard to suppress the excitement and anticipation I’ve felt. The specter of SH2 hung over my expectations. With each new SH3 build I was thinking, "Please Lord, don’t let this game let us down". It didn’t. SH3 really impressed me at every phase of its development—it’s been all I could do not to rave. No more. This subsim has everything plus everything else. The final score? What else can you say about a hands-down, across the board superb game? Silent Hunter III is the King of Subsims!

Vlad had deja vu but couldn't conjure up an answer, Firewall finally saw something besides blue squigglies, Mookie bombed out with the edit/delete trick, and Schultzy tossed SH2 into the ring even though it was featured as MS#12...(and Stealth Hunter sneaked one in under the wire!) while Subnuts had time to order pizza and watch half of 60 Minutes. I guess we know who the alpha male is around here.

Hmmm...now, for Mystery Subsim #36, it may not be what you expect. That's why they call 'em Mystery Subsims, don'tcha know.

Side issue: thanks to this competition I now have something to look forward to.
I've been playing SH3 for about two years, still on my first campaign in 1940 and have never seen that equipment before.
