Nice screenie mastahcheef,How does Blitzkrieg 2 compare to sudden strike,close combat or eastern front?. I have blitzkrieg 1 but only bothered with the tut.
I dont have the original Blitzkrieg, just Blitzkrieg 2 and Blitzkrieg: Fall of the Reich (the latter I don't like, mainly because it's only Germany vs. Russia, the campaign is REALLY hard and there are only 4 multiplayer maps). Blitzkrieg 2 is a lot better, a campaign I can actually win, (plus it has the Allies [Britain and US, depending on map] added in), and like 10 multi maps. (Fall of the Reich doesn't have a map editor, either)

OK I found the other ones. What 2 1st class ships of the line can do a single one. What a 3rd Rate Ship of the line can do to a sloop in one pass. British 6th Rate ship of the line, attempting a boarding action against my 2nd Rate ship. Needless to say they failed and they eventually surrendered. Gallant Austrian defense against a strong English army. Center of the English line, the General is clearly visible in this shot, also it is interesting that shortly after this shot was taken 20 of the 32men in the Generals Personal body Guard including the General himself were killed by Austrian cannon fire. Austrian Counter attack BAYONETS My Generals personally leading the counter attack on the British which ended with the English army Routing of the field of battle. The Last line of defense for the English; a single battery of 12inch cannons, stood no chance.
Back on SH4 again had a couple of good patrols in 1942. Ran across a Japanese Warship convoy and bagged a Fuso Battleship. Just about escaped the patrols that went nuts after seeing one of there Battleships going up in smoke. The next patrol I got real lucky, early morning fog & rain and I came across a flat top all on her own steaming out of port. Slammed six torps in to Shokaku Fleet Carrier. Pics below show what they looked like.
GWX for SH4??!?!?!? Nice job with the Fuso and Shokaku. I once got three fleet carriers in one ambush, each only took about 2 torpedoes (I was a Gato, 1943 )
I guess you'll all be glad to hear SH5 is coming out and its back in the atlantic. Silent Hunter 5 surfaces on PC - PC News at GameSpot
Nope got SH3 why do I want another U-Boat game. Knowing Ubi it will be released in a hurry and will need heavy patching due to all the bugs. I rather had seen a British one with all the other Allies or even Destroyer Command. Fair enough if you have not got SH3 and got your eye on the updated SH5 version.
