Default Never Give Up

Finally a game worth coming back for ... SH IV is my kind of game Many years of loving SH in the Pacfic ... I tried and tried to forgive those U-Boats, but the grafting of they did us wrong and I have to forgive them, never took hold ...

I hope the community will realize the need for serious/sub sim and arcade sub sim.

What I mean is that sometimes I just want to start outside Tokyo Bay with the net tender letting a merchant ship in as I trail her into Tokyo Bay just thrity feet underneath. Then let me line up all of my targets from shipyards to anchorage. Let all, but one fish go to targets. Saving one for the net tender on the way home.

Lunch is over get back to work ... That's my kind of game :p

Love always,

Geetrue (see you in Q1 2007)

Well, also looking forward for this game, but i would be happy to see nuke subs. Danderous waters is ok, but to implement SH3 into a seawolf class, man, and to see people working around, giving a command and officers executing it with confirmation reports... Hey, here's a new title: Iron Coffins...
Anyhow, in SH4 we really should have ports with lot's of ships... Tons...
And... Could someone design a torpedo guided by acoustic homing as a cheat available at the start of the carrier...:rotfl:

Geetrue! Long time. No see. Yeah, we're overdue for the first commercial 3-D Pacific Sub sim. I think SH2 was the first 3-D subsim period and that was U-Boats.

Forgiving the U-boats?

Sorry for misunderstanding here
the U-boats didnt do anything wrong
The Crew did dont blame the machine that is under Human control.

...and, I would argue, the crew did exactly what they should have done under the circumstances. If your country goes to war and you're a sailor, you don't sit around, you go and sink ships... Their leaders, on the other hand... Plus, there's little proof that more than a small number of them were Nazis. Some certainly were, including famed commanders liked Prien and Luth, but certainly not all too many. Quite a few went on to become very positive members of post-war German society (e.g. Topp being a high-ranking NATO commander; Hardegen being a businessman and veteran city council member of his hometown)... Not the least, the fact that Doenitz, for all the efforts that were made, was not convicted for war crimes at Nuremberg, as there wasn't proof of such on behalf of his U-boats (he was, however, convicted for building an aggression-oriented U-boat fleet in peacetime, a stupid charge IMO).

...but anyway, it's not a political discussion. Although it's one of my pet peeves when people snub a country in a game because of some principle. A game's a game, don't confuse it for reality!

It's good to have a bit of everything

Not ALL u-boot submariners were bad, althoug they did their duty, there was this skipper who managed to sink many ships without any human life lost...
