Default Why does this WOTA Nonsense sound better then SH5

lol for a few reasons

1939-1945 Campaign (No half the war then Boom your done)

ALL U-boat Classes (Type 7 is small sometimes)

Fully modeled Interior (On an Ipod? Good luck..)

WOFLPACKS ('nuff said)

however.. to be able to play this 'amazing' game, you have to have the finger digits of a six year old

Sorry.. gotta do something in the morning for a little laugh..

I'm guessing Krauter doesn't own an iPhone. I do and I'd love to have a good sub game on mine.

Huh.. I don't see any availability limitations here http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/t...7/m/4731093358 but I have to say.. shopping on Ubishop is a real challenge.

I tried to buy it but without any luck, selecting the ipod platform on ubishop gives me a "no result found" message. This is such a fail company, they can't even sell their product Maybe you can get it on Steam or D2D ...

Default Sub command by the thumbs

It is kind of realistic, in a way. When the battery on your iphone runs down, game over!

A WLOFPACK is a group if iphones sharing a mission, saying repeatedly, "LO, LO, are you there?"

I'm not quite sure how much input Ubi has on Apple's indexing policy for Itunes. Secondly, to the OP, I think it looks kid of neat. I have a HTC Legend and would probably get if it was available for Android. Wouldn't call it nonsense just because it isn't "hardcore" enough. It is an Iphone game, and handheld games can be quite entertaining.

Yes, but here is what I get when I go to that link:

"Your request could not be completed."
"The item you've requested is not currently available in the US store, but is available in the Belgian store. Click Change Store to view this item."

And, when I try to purchase from the Belgian store, I get:

"Your account is only valid for purchases in the US iTunes store."

My link is wrong, (http://itunes.apple.com/be/) sorry for that

Try with this: http://itunes.apple.com/app/silent-h...362483643?mt=8 This should be the US link. I don't have iTunes, so I can't test it.

WOTA looks MUCH better than the current Silent Hunter for Iphone, which is pretty lame to be honest.
Would I ditch the full blown SH3/4/5 to play it? obviously not,
It can be the best U-boat sim ever, but its still ugly 90's 3d on a tiny touch screen. Not something you will want to stare at for hours on end when you have $2000+ worth of PC kit
