All I can say this blows Silent Hunter 3 out of the waters

Ok I agree that SH3 is still a great game made by Ubisoft but damn does this ever challenge Silent Hunter 3 and almost gives it a run for its money. Also 1-16 people could play and who could ignore that message. Ok I shouldn't just jump in a boat once I see a great game but we did it with EAW and Civ 4 now didn't we?  ;D Well if the trailers showed it was good then it should be  ;D Again I shouldn't judge a book by its cover but you get to also control SHIPS SHIPS. Yes Ships and Submarines.

 

Features:

- Boats and Subs

- Moving people

- Air support (From trailer)

- hidden docks

- tons of sinkage

- More to find out

Looks interesting.

Very interesting... though perhaps not quite as realistic as I'd hope for a WWII PT-boat simulation.  Those aircraft sure got gunned down quick.

 

The fact you can shoot up enemy sailors on the deck of the vessels looks really impressive though, and the wake effects looked perfect.

Odd, why wont the picture show above  ??? Meh i'll try to make it show now.

and the best thing is how I like to see the little crew walking around  Now who can ignore that boat  Well I just found a new game (in my local Futureshop flyer) called "Red Orchestra" dealing with Russians in WW2 and Source made it. Back on topic, well at least now I get more options and get 16 players online to play online. Hopefully there would be an option to share a boat and if not then o well. I really want to see more of this game  ;D

If you're into flight sims, Ubisoft's IL2: Forgotten Battles really showcases aerial combat on the eastern front.  (Historically Aerial superiority on that front swung back and forth a lot more so even playing as a german you don't get torn apart immediately like in the Western Front).

lol @ this thread. Has this game even come out to try and play with?

[chip5541]

nope! I have been signed up at the official site for over a year and their forums are pretty much dead and the devs or pub hardly ever post anything, atleast in the English forum. Funny thing is when I was at E3 in 2004 I had seen the rolling trailer at the booth but never checked it out.
