You tried the original SH before?Originally posted by sgFish:I got destroyer command, silent hunter 2, fleet command and sub command.. isn't the harpoon series a bit old?
Aces of the Deep(1995) graphics sucks leh,but overrall gameplay is not bad.Originally posted by ferret69:For the moment the best so far is Sub Command. Learning curve is steep and I still haven't figured out how to read the Akula's passive sonar screen. But sonar modelling is just fantastic.
In my mind, the BEST naval combat computer game I've played has to be.......*drumroll*......Sierra/Dynamix "Aces of The Deep". This is a true classic.
Honorable mention goes to Harpoon (first one) and Microprose's "Red Storm Rising" (first "realistic" sub game I played)
The graphics was crude by today's standard but it was more than enough for pure immersion, gameplay-wise I'd have to say it's not been surpassed. I remember a friend of mine who was watching me play and he felt a bit sick when we got to the outside view with the rolling waves.Originally posted by Doenitz:Aces of the Deep(1995) graphics sucks leh,but overrall gameplay is not bad.
How about Sierra's Fast Attack(1996)? released about the same time as AoD but graphics much better.
Well the janes 688 also bloody hard....gotta read sonar and stuffOriginally posted by ferret69:For the moment the best so far is Sub Command. Learning curve is steep and I still haven't figured out how to read the Akula's passive sonar screen. But sonar modelling is just fantastic.

Sub Command is from the same team (Sonalysts) of developers, plus, you get to drive around the Akula and Seawolf classes. If you liked Jane's 688, then I highly recommend Sub Command. If i remember correctly, they even model a few Malaysian ships in-game and you can create your own littoral missions in SG + Straits of Malacca waters (Maps are lo-fi though).Originally posted by |-|05|:Well the janes 688 also bloody hard....gotta read sonar and stuff
Stacking the dots is virtually impossible.Since I am the skipper,why should I do it,I let my men do it!Originally posted by ferret69:Sub Command is from the same team (Sonalysts) of developers, plus, you get to drive around the Akula and Seawolf classes.

Doing your own TMA and working at a successful shot is definitely one of the most satisfying experiences in the game.
lol fleet command theres an option to fast launch all aircraft..Originally posted by |-|05|:Fleet command is slow which kinds of sucks.....waiting 30mins to prep a plane!! argh! anyway sub command? still being sold? or can some1 lend me a copy?

sub command i still see in stores in sim lim square..seriously is a damn good game, and as ferret69 said, doing your own TMA and achieving a hit on the target (sunk or not) is extremely satisfying
