Ok, find it at your browser / youtube search machine by full title:
Silent Hunter Online - COMM DEV Video #1 - Engaging a Convoy [UK] |
I'm starting to be quite optimistic after seeing some of the actual gameplay. :yep:
Especially like how it takes time for the WO to calculate the solution. :up: |

Actually looks pretty reasonable to me so far :hmmm:
Let's see what more they have to show. So far this is not bad at all. The basics of what makes an SH game are there, and the sub-switching mechanic is something I already like. |

I see a little ladder icon with an up arrow on the right hand side of the screen I wonder if this leads to a conning tower or perhaps UZO view?
|
I have to admit that it doesn't look that bad. It may have potential, but the ability to simply swap between subs is a bit too arcade for my taste. It was one thing in Destroyer Command where a squadron commodore could conceivably board a gig and physically transfer his flag, but not in this case.

Yes, in many ways it reminds me more of the old Novalogic game "Wolfpack" than Silent Hunter, although in those days they actually managed to incorporate playable destroyers as well as subs.
|
It just looks so...bland. I was getting vibes of the original Silent Hunter from this video. Don't get me wrong, SH has held up pretty well for a 16 year old subsim, but so far, SHO doesn't really strike me as several generations more advanced that it. :-?

Tell you where this game might be useful (for me), Lunchtimes at work, or on holidays stuck with a low spec netbook or tablet. That would be when I'd be most likley to give it a whirl anyway. :)

I like the interface. I'm not sure the pace of the online game consisting of submarines will retain someones attention for long. Games such as CoD, WWoT and IL2 with click, click, bang, bang are action packed. These seem more engaging for online play. The pace for this sim online might be a bit slow for some tastes.

It looks better than Silent Hunter for iPad,Now That was a Joke!!!:/\\!!
