KG Erwin -> Any Subsim Fans Out There? (4/15/2004 1:28:54 AM)

Hi, guys. Apart from my SPWaW addiction and forum moderator duties, I also sometimes indulge in my favorite WWII sub simulation, Silent Hunter II. This game has been completely transformed from its out of the box version by dedicated modders, which has been helped by the game's open-ended setup. This means that just about any soft-coded unit, mission and eye-candy parameter can be tweaked, and the SHII community has come up with some spectacular results. Now, I can immerse myself in missions with voices, music and sound FX from the classic "Das Boot" (one of my all-time favorite movies), realistic changing weather fronts, better-looking water and sky, cool-looking explosions and burning oil from doomed merchants, tougher AI opponents, and different-looking stations on my boat. In any case, you can still find SHII in some bargain bins, and with the support of the community at http://www.subsim.com, you can now have a great time with this game. I don't usually plug other companies' products here, but this one deserves a second look, if you bought it and put it aside, or never considered buying it. This is now a really cool game experience, and a nice change of pace from SPWaW.
