My review about Silent hunter 3, well at first I thought it was a strange that a Romanian company made a game about German u-boats. They where treated pretty poorly by the Germans in WW-2, along with many other countries and people. German U boat Captains where known to be a bunch of drunken n rag tags. They where also quite ruthless, I saw a video on Y-Tube of a U-boat captain destroying a defenses sail boat maybe 30 feet long! They ordered the crew off and then proceeded to blow up the sail boat. WHY?? They where ordered not to take prisoners, and if you where going to reveal there location you where as good as dead. There goal in life was to sink merchants, starve, terrorize the British and allies. My grand father fought against the Germans in WW2 and was almost killed many times over. So at first I was skeptical about playing such a game to say the least. On the other hand they lost 3 out 4 during the war. It was one of the most dangerous jobs during WW2. I visited a historic web site and gained a new respect for them. They where brave, with no dought. Even though they where fighting a losing war, where most would die they had fight. In Nazi Germany you where pretty much forced to fight, no matter what. If you didn’t you where sent away. I think this game should be a historic recreation, but not to glorify the U-Boat Flotillas. It’s a way for people to get an idea of what it might have been like to be a U-Boat Commander. My impression of the Game, the first thing I did was checked out the Museum. Then I did the Naval Academy and all the classes. Then I started a career in 1939, the first U-Boat I was giving was U-9. Was a small coastal U-Boat with only 5 torpedoes and no deck gun. It had limited fuel. It was small and the waves knocked it around like it was nothing. It seemed vary cramped. I thought to my self man this game is realistic, and that is a huge plus! I have upgraded and progressed through the game and I really enjoy the historical detail. They really did there home work. Each U-Boat really was in service, that’s including types and U-Boat numbers. Also on of the things I saw was bad press about the crew management system. People say it is a pain to have to adjust where and what the crew is doing constantly. Well I think it is a great feature. German officers where micromanagers so this is what it was like. In the US Navy the NCOs do most of the crew management, not the officer like it is in SH 4. To keep a long story short, I think it is the best game of its kind hands down. I haven’t played SH4 yet, but I plan on it!
So, I'm sailing through the North Atlantic on a cold, clear evening. It just so happens to be 1941, and I am a fearless and intrepid Nazi U-boat captain, prepared to strike hard at the Allies. My goal: to sink as many en... Read Full Review
