Flanker15 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I just got through the hi-res vid that was recently released and had a couple of questions: Are there different types of aircraft and differnt calibers of morter/arty avalible, or is it always fighter/bomber/arty/morter? When the M10 tank destroyer got strafed did the vunerable turret crew get injurded/killed? When the US planes made their final pass on the AA gun and got shot down, did the AA gun vanish from view becasue no-one had line of sight anymore? Looking good can't wait!

Moon Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Flanker15 - - there are three main types of aircraft: ground attack, fighter (to shoot down enemy aircraft), and air recon. Which plane exactly you see depends on the scenario and nation you play. Arty comes in various calibers for the two main categories: heavy artillery and mortars. This, too, depends on the scenario and side you're playing. BTW, heavy bombers have been removed from the game as part of the realism tweaks we did. - yes, the M10 crew was probably nailed. Since the M10 keeps moving, either it's simply rolling to a halt, or maybe the driver survived (probably wounded). Later in the video when the self-propelled Flak is strafed you can actually see one of the crewmembers throw up his arms in the air when hit. - yes, the line of sight was gone. The video was taken from the US side. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flanker15 Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 Fantastic! Can't wait! I saw that FLAK gunner get hit and throw his arms up and slump over the gun, looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dryfear Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Unfortunately for me, the video didn't thrill me that much. Hopefully the game is more fun than it looked in that video. Maybe it's just me...could be grouchy. I fully planned on buying it, but I may wait for the demo now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkmek Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I feel the same way Dryfear. Every movie and sceenshot I have seen for this game seem to be of the same fields, same trenches, and same trees. Does terrain every change in this game? I need a demo check before making a purchase on this one. I did not care for the Company of heroes Demo either, but I love the game. Also glad I checked this forum prior to buying the new Silent Hunter game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkmek Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I have Silent Hunter III and was going to get Silent Hunter IV until reading how crappy it was. The general forum has a thread on all the bugs. I'll wait for version V I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Guys, fair enough. That's why we actually do release demos of all our games, so you can make an informed decision. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
