radar Destroyer: U-Boat Hunter First Impressions

Going to say right now, this game is a blast. It really looked promising last year when we got a chance to play the demo. There have been some really good enhancements with the AI and UI, and a lot of rough edges have been smoother. The team is continuing to improve the game and I'm pretty excited to play it. I believe once this hits Steam Early Access Sept 28 the devs will listen very closely to your feedback.

Definitely the best subsim release in the last 3 years!

...than even Wolfpack!!? Jeeze! Maybe we could get both developers to combine efforts alá SHII and Destroyer Command in a Greyhounds version for really wicked 'Sunday games'! (Gleefully awaiting my $25.00 suggestion prize)

That's my biggest dream-A modern version of SHII and Destroyer command. Well the modern version of Destroyer is here

I have big hopes that this company will, after they have fixed the bugs, start to develop a human controlled subs.

So we once again can play on mIRC or similar.

It's on par with Wolfpack. Which was leased over 3 years ago.

[QUOTE=Onkel Neal;2829298]Using radar, sonar, and the Mark V eyeball.

Hey Boss..
it seems that you have sound problems...!!! during the stream I looked on my computer then on Iphone same problem of "schwinnement..." ... especially at the beginning

on your 2 posts since during the previous one it was the same here.. that said does not prevent you from watching I see that you are progressing... compared to the first time..!! it's excellent, I really like the approach, I think that some of the dinosaurs on the forum here will appreciate this game, moreover, I'm going to invest in it. Thanks to your video, it confirms my choice.
kind regards Kal Maximus U669

Howdy,

I have no idea what schwinnement is, perhaps there is a filter for it?

Widescreen support still hasn't been fixed. I reported this early on in the closed beta. Out of all the bugs the game has right now, this one is the biggest and the most impactful for me.
I can't see certain parts of the UI without widescreen support. It cuts off important features at the top and bottom of the screen.

If this is fixed I'll buy into Early Access, but right now it's a deal breaker for me.

@ Halcyon hope that one gets fixed as a priority, I notice a few people on the Steam forums having that issue with Ultrawides.

Yes, I remember Halcyon mentioning it, but there we a few other very serious issues that we had to fix before that. However, I am happy to say that wide screen support seems to have been tackled, is currently in testing, and should work once the new patch rolls out (i.e. today).
