I'm going to look into getting SH3-4-5 when I get my new PC.

Unfortunately, it would appear that the golden age of true sub sims (mid-1990s) has come and gone.

Dangerous waters didn't even come out until 2004. And I don't think any of the other remotely realistic sub sims came out before 2000, IIRC.

The classic WWII subsims came out in the 1990s. Specifically, Aces of the Deep in 1993 and the original Silent Hunter in 1996. Sadly, many of the novel concepts pioneered in Aces still aren't present in any of the following Silent Hunter U-Boat sims.

You have to admit that SH5 looks pretty fricking awesome. Being able to walk around your sub as the battle rages on............I'm sold.

I guess we have different ideas on realistic.
