Name that game: What would be a good name for a new U-boat sim? - Page 12

Elder-Pirate · 08-12-09, 06:00 PM

Reading back through this threads posts, Task Force ( post #4 ) really had a good idea I think;

Atlantic Warriors

This would cover all, like Germany, Britain, U.S., and all the rest of the different countries warships that were fighting in those Cold black waters of the Atlantic in WWII.

But the U Boots would be the leading vessels in the simulation.

How about:

Atlantic Love Puppies

Or,

The German Love Tube

Sorry, i'll behave now

Battlestations Pacific was just released and does an awesome job of simulating multiple units (planes of all sorts, carriers, cruisers, destroyers, battleships, PTs, subs, landing ships, land artillery, land AA), and does an awesome job of simulating huge battles (Island Capture mode) putting up to 4 players vs 4 players controlling multiple units each.

Yet I'm logged in almost every night and frequently, nobody is playing at all.

If you complain about the lack of realism and arcade-style of the game, you're just a hater. It's fun. And on the big maps with lots of units, it's more about the strategy. You can command the whole game from the map if you want. Or, you can force the map off and make everyone play first person - which is really interesting on big maps! It's pretty fun to play "chess" on the map mode, occasionally controlling units first person when you want or need to, or doing first person only and having to run a bomber all the way to an HQ yourself, just to get shot down.

Quit complaining and start playing this game!

Sorry to be negative, but Battle Stations doesn't simulate anything.

Call me a hater, but it imho doesn't have a whole lot to offer/master, which is probably why you never see anyone playing online. Eveyone just blasted through SP and shelved it, which is what I did with Midway (apart from playing through SP, I was too horrified to even complete 1 mission

).

Most naval-simmers aren't looking for arcade action.

How about:

Ping -- You're dead!

as an alternative, a sim featuring surface raiders?

apparently there were surface ships as well as u-boats.

should be easy - so long as you don't yell Alarrrmm!!!!
