Title: Silent Hunter III
Post by: Swamp_Thing on May 30, 2005, 04:07:00 am

Awesome stuff. Ever since i got it, i can´t get away from it, no matter how much i try!! The damn game is addictive!
Sure, lots of dull moments when you travel from A to B, but when action starts i feel like i´m in a "Das Boot" episode.
My last mission, i went after a whole convoy, qwreacked havoc amongst the cargo ships, and then sit tight while they go about like busy little bees, trying to find me.
Those depth charges are a *****... But to my luck, one of the cargo ships i torpedoeded didn´t sink, it just stood there without engines. So i carefully manouvered right underneath it, where the destroyers couldn´t get to me!
:D

In my last mission, i sunk 8 cargo ships, 2 destroyers, one corvette, 1 airplane, and a trawler. Considering how i can only carry 14 torpedoes, that was quite a little score. It earned my the Iron Cross First class with oak leafs.

This game rules! Anyone who would like to control a WWII nazi sub, sail the whole world, and attack convoys protected by carriers, battleships, and other nice things, try this! The attention to detail and historical precision is just superb.

:yes:

I have SH3 too, but I can't get it to work right.

Hey, they've nicked one of the SCP's graphics functions! :nervous:

Seriously though, I loved the original 'Silent Service' on the Amstrad, submarine games are good :) That problem looks like a transparency problem, make sure you've got your latest card drivers, DirectX etc ;)

Ugh, that´s a weird bug... The only i can suggest, just like others did, is to update your drivers. I don´t have the patch yet, because "Starfarse" asks for the cd if i install it.
There are a few bugs with the save games, though.
Well, i´m off to sink a few more.

Captain Von Schaft knew the monolith was a crafty prey, but was determined to hunt it down regardless
