Same old tired song

[scrapser]

I thought I would detail my experience a bit more, so please indulge me for a moment.

Silent Service 1985 by MicroProse (Commodore 64)
Silent Service 1987 by MicroProse (Amiga 500)
Silent Service II 1995 by MicroProse (Gateway PC)
Silent Hunter I 1997 by SSI (Gateway PC)
Silent Hunter 3 2003 by UbiSoft (Homebuilt PC)
Silent Hunter 4 2006 by UbiSoft (Homebuilt PC)

Note: I have never played or seen AOD. I do not like scripted games all that much and have always favored American fleet boats.

When SSI came out with Silent Hunter I thought I was in heaven and we were back in the saddle again. It played just like the original Silent Service but obviously with much improved graphics and features. Bugs seemed to be minimal.

I cut my teeth on the Pacific theater so naturally I am always wanting the latest and greatest there. I play the Atlantic because I have no choice but must admit I do enjoy attacking the task forces while they are still available in the time line. After that it gets boring sinking only merchants while dodging escorts and aircraft.

I do look forward to SH5 and hope it will generate enough momentum that a Pacific theater release will follow shortly thereafter.
