WWI U-boot simulation!
I know is not a flight sim, but I really don't know where to put it, after all, it says it has airplanes and zeppelins in it !

I have both of the Silent Hunter sims on my PC, and I gave my nephews Silent Hunter III last Christmas. The sims certainly hold interest -- can you imagine a 10- and an 12-year old abandoning their PlayStation and sitting patiently for almost two hours while they manuver Gunther Prien's U-Boat into Scapa Flow and sink the Royal Oak? It happened & I still get calls on my cell phone when they score a particularly exciting new victory.
I'll have to keep an eye on this one -- looks like it'll be good. |

by the way, not an aircraft simulation game, nor involving world war one (though coming relatively close) : DISTANT GUNS (the Russo-Japanese War 1904-1905 at sea)
I've got it, and it's absolutely LUSH ! (extremely detailed and historically correct) and I recommend it to anyone who is fond of war simulations. And perhaps more interesting for us WW1 freaks here, the same developer announced JUTLAND (WW I naval battle) check this out: http://www.stormeaglestudios.com/public/home.html here's a screenshot from Distant Guns: http://www.stormeaglestudios.com/pub...5by980_jpg.htm (Russian cruiser Gromoboi exchanges fire with Japanese cruisers Izumo, Azuma, Tokiwa & Iwate)

Looks exciting!
That Jutland game is on my list of games to get now! I already have Silent Hunter III and IV and would like a surface fleet game to augment the submarine games - Jutland looks to be it. The beauty of such a game engine is that it is easily adapted to a WWII context.  Shells of Fury looks exciting as well, that game should feel very different from Silent Hunter III.Now I also need a good WWI flight sim (for WWII I have Il-2: 1946) or get my aging red Baron 3D operational on my Core 2 Duo pc... Oh, after that, I´d like to find the time to actually play any of those games.  Kind regards, Reinout

I still play the original Silent Hunter and enjoy it immensely. I like that I play an American sub captain. I haven't bought the later editions because I am completely uninterested in playing as a German sub captain.
The Jutland game looks pretty cool, though.

Hi Drew,
Perhaps Silent Hunter IV is more for you? It revisits the theme of the original Silent Hunter (which I also enjoyed) and pits you as an American skipper in the Pacific against the Japanese... Personally, the U-boat campaigns appeal more to me, but I really wanted part IV of the series, for completeness and a change of pace. SH IV has more mission types, like rescuing downed pilots and taking photographs of enemy installations. Haven´t had the time to play SH IV yet, but got the European version of the limited edition for my birthday!  Kind regards, Reinout
