Thinking of buying this game...Co-Op play [and other] questions...

[HunterICX]

Regarding the Online Co-op its sucks on the internet
if you just join an game you're highly in the middle of Craptastic Noobs that Spam Acoustic torpedos with an high chance that they hit you by their stupidity.

LAN is o.k if you play with ur friends or make an appoints on MSN to play together online. create an Room with an password that ur friend knows.

Regarding the Game mode's online you have

Single missions : these are preset maps that are always the same. they start to be boring if you play them an several times

you can switch to Generated: this means you create an quik map by selecting the following thins while setting it up.

Example

Convoy Type : Taskforce (Battleships) and normal Escorted Convoy's (merchants with escort Destroyers)
Convoy Size : small, Medium, Large
Convoy Escort : Small , Medium, Large
Escort Dificulty : Easy, Regular, Elite
Aircover : Yes or No
Weather Conditions : Good, Average, Bad
Time : AM and PM times
You distance to convoy: Close, Medium, Far.


the generated maps are good fun...you're always in an different position.

The Game itself is very good. the Stock SH3 is good to try out and practice the gameplay

if you want mods there are 2 mayor mods
the grew wolves: It adds more atmospheric to the game about the U boat war and improves some realistic settings, graphics and the U-Boat feeling

Nygm: this mod aims for realism most of the Hardcore Realism player uses this mod.
