VBS2 is an enhanced version of Arma: Armed Assault, and is used by several government organisations around the world, including the British Ministry of Defence, for training purposes. To further add to my sleep deprivation, Bohemia Interactive recently announced that they will start selling a cut-down version of their battlefield simulator, VBS2, to civilians soon, and have agreed to send me a copy for review. It is designed for any fan and new comer who want the most complete game experience on Silent Hunter 4. As a result, my reinstalling of SH4 has had a severe impact on my sleep patterns. The Silent Hunter 4 Gold Edition includes Silent Hunter: Wolves of the Pacific & the U-Boat Missions.

The trouble is, submarine warfare isn’t particularly fast-paced, and even with several time compression settings to choose from, SH4 has a tendency to destroy your sense of the passing of time in the real world. Silent Hunter 4: Wolves of the Pacific Explore the depths of the Pacific Ocean as you never have before with our collection of mods, skins, vessels and missions, from our fast, free download servers. Instead, you can configure the difficulty settings so that the TDC does most of the calculations for you – although you still have to factor in any changes in the targets course and speed and the sea state (smooth/rough). I forgo the mental gymnastics of having to calculate torpedo trajectories via trigonometry (it's a game after all), as real submarine commanders had a bridge crew and TDC (torpedo data computer) to help them out, so I don’t consider this too much of a break with realism. Although SH4 can be played as an arcade style shooter, it's far more satisfying when played with most, if not all the realism settings enabled.

SILENT HUNTER 4 TORPEDO GUIDE SIMULATOR
Released in early 2007, Silent Hunter 4 is a US Navy submarine simulator set in the Pacific during the Second World War. As a result, every day for the last two weeks I’ve been stumbling into the office, with a brand new set of black patches under both eyes.Ĭontrary to suggestions, I haven’t developed a drug habit, or been moonlighting as a delivery man for Milk Tray, I’ve simply reinstalled Silent Hunter 4. As the guys in the office will attest I’m somewhat obsessed by realistic military simulations, choosing to forego the dubious pleasures of games such as Team Fortress 2.
