...PT Boats, made by Battlefront (Theatre of War, Combat Mission). Battlefront.com - Media Files Looks rather good, if I say so myself. I am sure those of you who play Silent Hunter series will love PT Boats.
Some more info: [taken from the website] “PT Boats : Knights of the Sea” really is “two-games-in-one”. On the one hand it is a full blown naval simulation, allowing you to relive the dangers and adrenaline rush of fighting on board of a PT Boat of the “mosquito fleet”. You can man almost every position in the first person, and manage almost every aspect of your boat. On the other hand, “PT Boats” comes with a full featured strategic layer, allowing players to manage not only their boat, but basically an entire fleet from an overhead tactical view (or the 3D action view). Sounds pretty interesting to me.
Sounds good But I think my PC is too old for it...just like SH5 due out this year. I would like to see a good surface fleet action game which we are lacking.
Battlestations Midway and Battlestations Pacific are the only ones I know of, and they are very arcadey.
