Where have all the sub drivers gone?

Interesting that there are 637 captains down in the SHIV forum and only 36 in here.

All of us love a new sim! Now we have the best of the new boats (DW) and the best of the old boats (SHIII & IV)!

Virtual life is GOOD!

Were the proud, elite few.

(DW players, that is!)

Driftwood · 03-23-07, 06:38 AM

He's talking to me ASW......

ML and I are good friends.

Don't worry ole buddy.....I'll never give up my Seawolf!

But I have granted a litlle bit of shore leave to my crew while I'm qualifying in a Gato class boat.

Gone to diesel everyone~

AJ! · 03-24-07, 03:43 PM

I vist all the sections in the forum..... Be it diesel or nuclear powered Subs

All the commotion will soon die down from SH4 so i assume more peeps will come back

SquidB · 03-27-07, 07:28 AM

Acutally ive returned to these forums after a long period away from DW. The news that 1.04 is out coupled with the fact the the latest LWAMI mod is so excellent (with new models!!) has rekindled my intrest. Now I can play DW whilst I wait for SH4 to be fixed

You know, I might have actually considered giving SHIII/SHIV a try... if not for the decision of UBI to make a sequel to SHIII without ever adding controllable destroyers.

I'm at a loss to understand why they would "remake" the sim in a new theatre, leaving the sim essentially half-finished for MP purposes. I'm sure the campaign mode of SHIV is superb, but without human opposition in MP, I would shelve it pretty quickly.

My impression is that the SH series are basically "Submarine Adventure Games", not really simulators per se.

Although I'm sure plenty of people will disagree with me... I really enjoyed the Silent Service series, so I'm not sure whether to file SH under the uber-SS catagory, or like Kings Quest Navy...

When I upgrade my computer, the SH series is definately a bit behind IL-2:1946, F4AF, and the new Combat Mission... the idea of wandering the ocean looking for ships to sink just for the privaledge of being able to wander the ocean looking for more ships to sink seems a bit drool to me.

But again, I loved the SS series, so who knows... maybe it's that I'm 15 years older.

Cheers,
David

Well SH III when modded with GWX is a superlative simulation.

SH I was a very good sim. (I still play it from time to time now that it works at full speed in dosbox

).
SH IV as of now is a half baked sim (does it remind you of something luftwolf ? :rotfl: ) but with time I'm sure it will improve.

LuftWolf · 03-29-07, 01:45 PM

Well, without having played the sim, it's hard to judge... but just about nothing I've seen about SH makes me want to play the game, which is confusing to me, since I'm a simmer from way way back in the day.

Maybe its my growing desire to get back into flight sims that masking any desire I might have for ocean-prowling... ah to flame bombers again!

Cheers,
David

One thing though, I wouldn't mind in the least SH IV graphics in DW.
