lol... gunny... you know thats old news right? Check out the Graviteam forum next one below.

(and here you got me excited for a even NEWER one, lol.)

Sorry about the false hope!!...For my sake, I never saw anything in that forum regarding that sim....Did you play it?.. How is it?

got it, love it... but the interface is confusing and takes alot of learning (it's biggest weakness)... screens and video in the screenshot forum and in the Graviteam forum.

10/4, thanks

Yep Gunny, the mechanics and graphics are great and real enough but the interface is too much work for me. Just not intuitive at all (for me). I think I'm getting old.

Old?...Aren't we all?...And from memories of Roses, gardners live for ever!...

Talking about counter-intuitive, I dusted off "Dangerous Waters" and "Harpoon UE" to start training for the Release of "Artic Warfare" and I must confess that I am having a lot of fun with that complicated change of scenery!...

As an old Zen master used to say "Improvise Adapt and Overcome!"

You play DW and HUE, don't you?

Interestingly, I don't. I've studied Naval Warfare quite a bit (right now, Midway again) and was a career Submarine Sonarman. I was very involved in operations and I think that sort of spoils it for modern naval warfare games. I am looking to try Great Naval Battles or something that I can play out WWII battles on but haven't taken the plunge yet. I did enjoy Age Of Sail quite a bit.

Logically enought, i would not like to play my job on a computer on my days off!
