Do you 'fly' the aircraft or is it just 'point and click'? If the former, it looks like it could interesting.

I only played it for twenty minutes or so, but from the controls mapping it would seem you can properly fly the aircraft.

All the sonar stuff seems very detailed.

Couldnt get mine to install right. Kept freezing during installation.

Downloaded and ran the demos. Realised very quickly that I'm going to have to sit down and read the user manuals (4 x .PDF documents). Has anyone else got beyond pilotage of the submarine vessel? I set the depth incorrectly and grounded mine, breaking off the navigation mast.

Think I'm going to watch Das Boot...

Yes, very very difficult to get into especially if you don't have a manual infront of you.

Beetle, don't forget that there's **** sticking down out of the Sub too. The depth meter is telling you where the Center of Mass is.

It's very difficult, but I'm intrigued by it. So far, the best I've done is torpedoed the enemy ship only to be torpedoed myself by the sub I didn't see which was 1 NM off my starboard side.

Re Das Boot:

The same guys who did this also did Stalingrad.

I lent it to a guy who was a huge Das Boot fan and we both had an interesting observation. Both of us preferred Das Boot to be in German, with English subtitles (neither of us speak German) but when we watched Stalingrad it was much better, for us at least, in English.

Anyone else have similar experience?

I like listening to Rammstein better in German then in English.

About the game sounds cool but i don't think i'll give it a go especially if the manuals are that long. Looking at Su-27 Flanker and Falcon 4.0 sound like i'll be up to my neck in manuals for a little while.

I watched it in German the first time, though I speak no German. Nexx is a fan of this movie, and he suggested I do this.

As to Dangerous Waters, I read the "getting Started" section last night - 18 pages. Hmm, definitely not a game for the A.D.D. dolts. Going to take weeks....

I miss games with heavy manuals, can't wait to get home & try it...

Couldn't imagine buying and being able to find the time for a modern day sub sim when SH3 is out in a few weeks.
