WWII games

[Grey Fox]

I heard good thing about Hell's Highway.

Caliga, get the Ubi WWII collection, give the flightsim away to me.

Well, I went ahead and bought the collection, but I don't see any way to do that.  But if you know how, tell me how and I'll do it.

Sadly, I dont think you can.

Do try them. The Blazing Angels game are pretty cool. Not at all simish.

I was mostly kidding about SH 3, but I much prefer killing Japs to killing Anglo-Saxons. 

Here's my preference of WWII races to kill in order:

Waffen SS - I HATE THOSE GUYZ LULZ
Japs and Russians - utter barbarians
French and Italians - lazy papists
British - BO-RING
Germans - basically good dudes who for some godawful reason let a closeted homofag Austrian boss them around and do stupid shit
Americans - USA!  USA!  USA!

There, fixed Ur post for U.

Yeah Hell's Highway is pretty fun.

And I don't get the Silent Hunter part. There is SHIV you know where you sink Japs. Bought that recently (has had SH3 since release, and legally, before you ask) and had some fun with it, altough many times I got sunk running from convoy escorts because I am a time compression whore.

[Caliga]

I am a time compression whore.

I'm not.  When I play Flight Simulator X I never compress the time, no matter what.  It's... unrealistic.

[Octavian]

Ok, so how close to the actual gameplay is this vid?

Seems close to me. I finished it a year ago or so and I can recommend it.

Yeah but spending a month circling the Pacific is slightly more time-consuming than flying some domestic American airliner 

Dammit I must resist taking FSX out again.

I'm that way with board wargames.  I'm playing War In The Pacific in real-time, so I'm waiting for the keel of the USS Yorktown to be laid.

Besides, it'll get laid faster than I will, anyway.

I don't do airliners.  Small planes, small airfields (mostly).

Did you ever play: Pacific War.

[CountDeMoney]

Did you ever play: Pacific War.

Never the campaign game, just a handful of scenarios.  After the requisite 3-credit course for the rules.

[Caliga]

Ok, my first impression of Brothers in Arms is that it fucking sucks. 

I get that they're trying to make it more realistic which is why accuracy is not 100%, but I was playing just now and I got frustrated and ran right the fuck up to a German guy and emptied an entire clip from my Colt 45 into him.  NOT ONE HIT.  Then I switched to the M1 (all the while he's accurately shooting me) and emptied an entire clip into him from that.  NOT ONE HIT.

[Syt]

Or mabye you just suck. Attack him with pilum and gladius.

I could have told you that.

The game (the first one at least) has a hard-on for flanking. Nothing got hit until you ordered a flanking attack.

[Caliga]

Well, the Ubisoft pack comes with all three games so I'ma try Hell's Highway next.

Syt, I'm not kidding when I say I was right up against the guy.  I could have given him a wedgie at the same time I was shooting him.  When a simulated WWII soldier, who I assume has successfully made it through basic since he's in the 101st AB, is not even close to being as accurate as the real Caliga, who has had no formal firearms training, then something is broke.  Squad Leader Baker couldn't even qualify for a CCW permit in Kentucky, he's so bad.

I kill germans with my steely gaze.
