Weasel Wrote:If you want a really great sub sim game get Ubisofts "Silent Hunter 3" and then download the free mod "Grey Wolves". GW changes all the "gamey" parts of the sub into authentic dials etc, taken from the captured U505. They also changed the sounds to those taken from Das Boat, so pretty cool. Especially when you hear the crew screaming "we're sinking" from the movie. I have heard that quite a few times. However, my favorite is hitting the old C key for Crash Dive and hearing them scream ALARMMM and then a bunch of German stuff with hatches slamming shut. You can play in English or German, but I always play in German for realism. TORPEDO LOOSE!
U can get it now for about $19.99 in stores or direct dl.
BTW - I have the special edition DVD with the extra footage, it is awesome, much better then the original. You would think 3.5 hours would be too long, but it goes by pretty fast.
I'm way ahead of you Mr. Weasel, i think the Grey Wolves mod is one of the best made community mods that i've ever played, along with other greats like DOWPro, the RTR Gold mod for RTW and Red Orchestra. It's quite spooky how atmospheric the game can be when you turn the in game music off and use the gramophone in the radio room instead.
And of course nothing beats the thrill of slamming a fish into a boat in heavy seas using manual targeting.........BOOM. :smg:
