Silent Hunter Online

Silent Hunter online from UBI soft

There is nothing like a 15 day login que That wound up taking an hour to login in

... the beta login server must be run on windows 3.1

I can not see how a web based program could ever be better than one driven on your computer. Hell at least you can play SH without an internet connection plus it is performance based and the mod community is second to none in my book.

Tried the online game today that ubi made. OMG I wanted to rip my hair out.

Wait ... I'm bald!!

I'm sorry some might like it but there is no way in hell that will ever be as good as Silent Hunter 3-4-5 with all the great mods and community

that is here. Dear god it was mind numbing to go through a forced tutorial and lack of manual anything.

No TDC

, No manual targeting

, no realism

. No keyboard short cut for anything except that big red x at the top of the screen to kill the window.

There was no fun in that at all.

Thank you everyone

who is in this community of subsim players.

You have a great site here and great mods for these games you support.

Power to you.

Well what did you expect? UBI suddenly caring about making a great subsim? Honestly the only sim of theirs I have played that wasn't vastly improved by modding was IL-2 Sturmovik.

We have a whole forum dedicated to SHO. This would be better posted there.

And even that is vastly improved by supermods.

With the exception of the team Daidalos updates.(Which causes the game to CTD fairly often.) I have found that IL-2 is not that improved by mods.(Now the custom campaigns you can download are a totally different story.)

Thing told me I had to wait 4 days. So I haven't even played it yet. (And IL-2 Sturmovik is great, I agree!

)

is that me, or does it sound negative AND sarcastic?

In my 20 years of gaming experience, I noticed that some people are more upset when free rides don't work than when a ride they paid for does not work!....
