Hiya Captain Jack,

Yes, some vessels in VS can use weapons (if they have them), but it's not very good IMHO. It looks very poor to be honest and it sounds rubbish aswell, as it's not really developed properly as such. The projectile gets fired, and a target can be hit, but that's about as far as it goes..  Some subs can fire torpedo's too. But as I said, the whole weapons system part of VS, compared to real naval combat sims/games, is rubbish.

Regards,
Fred

Well to be honest, I don't really play naval combat sims that focus on surface vessels.
I mainly play the Silent Hunter series, when it comes to naval combat.

I think "Dangerous Waters" is a good title, but I don't know that one personally.

Perhaps someone else here that does know more about it or other games like it can add something aswell?

Hi John.

I've played Silent Hunter since V1. V2 is my favourite though. Been playing one game for many years (in real time). Great fun.

PS you can see my real face on Youtube. (2 hours on the Solent and another set I'm posting right now). But keep young children away from the screen or they'll need treatment afterwards.

Hi guys, as requested:

[NathanC]

EDIT: I have found the horn, it's on a boat called the Bass Boat which came with the game, but the horn isn't in the files.....


2ND EDIT: GOTCHA!!

[TerryRussell]

Thanks Nathan.

Even though they are not battleships there is a game called Pt boats knights of the sea comeing out eventualy. Looks kind of intresting. also eventhough you have to regester to read the fourms at subsim. There are some veary good battleships that are controalable and most have a controalable gun and two AAs. But they are for silent hunter 4. which is a good game even without them.

It's Animal, the drummer of "Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem", the band on the Muppet Show.   

Being a drummer myself, he has always been a hero of mine. So he makes a good avatar for me.

Hiya all

I'd like to comment on some of the posts made here..........you all know me by now

I personally feel that the backup from VSTEP is admirable, and they should be commended for it.  Why do I say this?

Because I'm a Moderator?  No.
Because I'm getting paid by VSTEP?  No.
Because I have something to gain from saying this?  No.

I'm referring to a personal experience of mine from late 2006, and early 2007.  I bought a game from my usual haunt (play.com).  The franchise had worked quite well in previous games, and I already had games made by this particular company.  I won't be naming the company, or the game, but I WILL NOT be buying ANYTHING from them again......EVER!!!

The game was released with more hype than your 'above average' Hollywood blockbuster.  None of that hype was delivered.  The game was unplayable from the outset, they released 2 patches, 3+ months later, and they destroyed the game even more.  Multiplayer was completely dead, only 3 months after release.

Despite many requests on their forum, and a complaints thread that went into hundreds of posts (I also posted), the developers walked away, and left the game broken

This was not a small developer, and the publisher is also one of the largest around too.  Never dismiss a company, when they are still actively involved in development of their product.  Things can get much worse, so try to keep an open mind

Regards.

Carl.

constructive critic wit a reason for it are OK, but all this nagging and complaining aren't necessary
that's my thinking of it, and in the end, i made a topics for the release  of NH and gave them positive speak their,  NOW ONE answered it at all
Hurray for the v -step and all theirs members and all mods and admin on the forum
And the game is just get beater and beater
