lubber Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 This looked kind of novel to me. Decided to try it ($15 at Battlefront). I'm normally a flight simulator guy exclusively (RoF, IL-2, OFF, BoBII, SF, CFS, LOMAC). Probably because I'm a real pilot. I'm mostly a gaming "virgin" though (note the screenname? ) & don't do well with "shooter" games with lots of views, menus, keyboard commands, etc. But I'm having fun with this! Takes a little getting used to. The manual & tutorials are pretty sparse. I usually get clobbered the first couple of attempts until I sort out what they really want me to do & how to do it (so I consider these first missions as "tutorial extensions"). But I'm almost through my first campaign (Weserubung- "S-booten") & I can honestly say that I'm getting my $15 worth of fun and then some! Too bad they didn't include U.S. PT Boats in the Pacific. Maybe a "PT Boats Pacific" version, if ever? No biggie, enjoying the current game as is. Just thought I'd say so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooliganrick Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Hey lubber, Not much action on here. I just purchased PT boats online myself....can't beat the $15 deal. I'm enjoying too....instructions and directions will take some getting used to. I was hoping to see more input into the forum because I would like to know if there is a way to change the sound of the boats. A PT boat should have the rumble of 3 diesels....not the sound of a 125hp outboard....lol. But aside from that....this sim has the change I've been in need of. rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 hooliganrick, An American PT boat, be it a Higgins or an Elco, has Packard gasoline engines and runs on 100 octane aviation gas. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PT_boat A Schnellboot has diesel engines. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-boat Regards, John Kettler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
76mm Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I just picked up SG as well; the price is falling, I only paid $10! Actually this game looks kind of fun, but it should never have been released without some kind of mission-generator. Last night I finally figured out the scenario editor though, and am having fun with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
