You give them 5 or 6 screens to look at, put them in the water into badguy territory and
they write a movie in their mind.

Sort of like reading a book, it's all in between the ears.

I'm afflicted with the disease since Aces of the deep

Top shot looks like King George V class BBs and the middle shot looks like a sinking Bismark class BB.

Don't know about the subs. I'm more of a battleship guy.

In Silent Service II I used a Gato class sub to engage a Yamato class BB in a gun duel. It was, er, a short fight. Very short.

Yeah it does. Even the water looks incredible.

I've never heard of this game but I might just have to check it out.

Its a shame that you can only play German subs. I can't wait util they release another one in the series that lets us play as US. In the mean time I have been enjoying some time on the surface in a naval sim called Enigma: Rising Tide.

AH still rules the sky when it comes to flying though.

Hopefully the career mode will be dynamic like the first one, not mission based like the second..

I've owned most of the submarine games, but my favorite was the least impressive for graphics. Any remember Microprose's ancient game, The Hunt For Red October?

That game came out around 1987. It raised howls from the DOD who recognized some of their secret technology in the game. Of course, the game maker just made educated guesses and hit the mark too close for the Navy's comfort.

Of all the sub games out, this one could teach you the finer points of modern sub tactics like no other. Eventually, the Navy recommmended the game to its own submarine officers as a use-at-home training tool...

Better games eventually appeared, but none of them offered a better platform for tactics.

My regards,
