I love Silent Hunter I. In fact, its the only subsim I still play. SH2 was good until you went to replay it. I can't get into CAOD anymore. SH1 there, with its realism, dynamic campaigns, and awsome manual TDC are always there.

Earlier last year they were gonna do a basic SH2 repeat campaign, and thanks to the lobbying of Subsim.com Ubi postponed it to create an entirely new, dynamic campaign. I hated SH2's campaign with a passion.

So did I[:)]. It is good to hear they gonna make it in the way which will be more playable. I only hope they won't do that in Pacific Fighters' way and ships won't be going aground like planes in PF[:D].

By the way, have You heard any rumours about remake of Destroyer? The first game was a total crap, but it still was the first 'tactical' ship simulation game since Task Force 1942 [:)].

TF 1942! Now that was a game! Nothing better then watching your shells impact on those pesty US Cruisers! It's amazing that with all the advanced technology we have today, the gaming industry still has problems capturing the magic of those old games! SH, SS, Red Storm Rising, TF 1942, GNB (Buggy but still a great game!)

I have to disagree - see your torpedos hit, which you launched two minutes before - that's real satisfaction [:)]
I were actually looking for TF1942 when I came across PacWar and WitP [:D]

Yeah, that were times[:D]. You really were eating Your fingers desperately waiting for any sign of explosion blast on enemy ship[:)]. And ships illuminated by fires on other ships. When I for the first time met Mikawa's task group near Savo I really felt like I really was here (despite crappy VGA graphics)... Where is this video-game business going to?? The more power they have at their disposal the dumber games they do... Fortunately there are some maniacs which give us hope[8D].

I absolutely agree, TF 1942 was great, well except for the enemy AI agressiveness after being beaten up one or two times. I had the japs always hiding in rabaul for the rest of the game with some BBs and CAs left after suffering two bigger defeats. But nontheless, it was one of the best games I ever played, there´s nothing greater than watch your DD div´s full spread of long lances wreak havoc among the enemy battle line. so much detail packed into a game that needs only a small piece of todays hardware resources..., imagine what could be done with todays possibilities TF 1942 with halo graphics...
