Run Silent, Run Deep

What I expect of SHIV are:

"EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE ANTISUBMARINE ACTIVITY VINCINITY BUNGO SUIDO" (COMSUBPAC)

In other words, I want Bungo Pete with his task force and his elaborate antisubmarine tactics in Area Seven!

Seconded......

And under no circumstances do I want to be able to get into Tokyo Bay

Why not, as long as it's realistically defended...meaning you can try, but you'll die.

Let's put it this way: I shouldn't be able to breeze trough Gibraltar simply by going to the lowest speed setting, order silent running, and hug the bottom.

Hehehe... I love it!

And I want the Bungo Pete from the BOOK... not the movie.

Much, MUCH better!

There's only one Run Silent, Run Deep and one Bungo Pete, John.
Any other claim is an imposter!

Exactly....

Heh, i did this in an IXD2. Pretty sad.

Run Silent, Run Deep has everything SHIV should have; not just Bungo Pete and his elaborate anti-submarine tactics, but faulty torpedoes, an U-boat (!), a Q-ship, a Japanese sub (!), air patrols, an aircrew life-saving mission, a man over board-situation, attack on Sampams, low crew morale problems...

It's been eons since I read the Edward L. Beach novel but I've always enjoyed the movie based on it. Probably my second favorite after Das Boot. A taut, well-acted action drama that doesn't have a love interest tacked on to get in the way. Being in black and white serves to enhance the wartime nature of the film. Plus, there is lots and lots of great footage of a Gato-class boat underway. No CG effects here. The models for the battle and submerged sequences are probably a bit painful for modern viewers to watch...but hey! It was the 1950s. Models and stock footage was what you had to go with.

Can't resist poking a little fun at Clark Gable's most famous physical attribute tho.

I remember a long time ago I went to Disney World (by long time ago I mean it was 1990) and we got to see this tank where they could do "sea effects".

They got some poor volunteer from the group to go stand in this mock up WWII era sub bridge and they straffed him with "aircraft" (all you saw was the water jets and airplane sound effects), shot at him with a destroyer, and then torpedoed him.

The Coup de grace was when he got hit by a "wave" from the wave simulator during a "storm". Lucky dog got to take home a VHS of him there spliced in with other footage of everything shooting at him and a sea background behind him thanks to computers.

What I like about the movie is that it was real sub gear they worked with.

FAdmiral · 05-18-06, 02:02 PM

Will the Japanese AI be able to pick up your garbage?
If it does, thats realism !!
