SubSim Silent Hunter III

Just picked it up yesterday and it is one of the most intense submarine simulators to date. If you ever seen "Das Boot" you know of the U-boats, and this has been a hobby of mine since childhood.

The grafics effects are beyond what I expected, in the rain and fog of the North Atlantic you look out thru rain streaked binoculars, as the waves crash over the conning tower, see blures of shadows, and maybe a whisp of smoke.

Under depth charge attack my laptop shakes as the sound of the double click of the detonator is followed by the crash of the charge going off, you hear water dripping, glass breaking, and are plunged in to darkness as the lights go out (you can not see the controls on the screen).

The crewmen interact with you, morale and supplies detrermine efficiency...and when you cry alarm and begin the diving sequence you see crewmen rush thru the control room heading for the foward torpedo compartment to get weight foward and the boat diving faster.....seconds and depth mean life or death.............

Was playing till after 2am this morning...totally hooked......

Cool.

What kind of specs does this game require?

looks good, where did you buy it?

The graphics for WW2 Online look like poo.  Seems intriguing though.
