Silent Hunter IV brings you the most realistic simulation of undersea submarine warfare - General

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFN9nvFYHmk[/media] This is what can happen if you mod your game to allow subs to go at speeds of ~60 knots.

That would have to be the most badass thing to ever do on a submarine.

Jesus Christ, attacking convoys with regular torpedoes is hard enough. But turning your sub into a torpedo is crazy and hilarious at the same time

The new 'Sword' tatic is in testing.

Reminds me of the time I tried to rearm at base... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5hG_YiW7Hw[/media]

Didn't you know? All American submarines in WWII were equipped with hidden blades on their keels for the dreaded Suicide Swordfish Torpedomania attack. :eng101:

im a professional navy person and i can say that this is a very common technique to overthrow the enemy.

I love that the sub was fine

Reminds me of an old ww2 movie, about a submarine ( or u-boat can't remember) crashes into a Destroyer. It was an old movie from like the 50s. Great movie

We must develop special submarines specifically for this purpose. I'M LOOKING AT YOU DARPA, MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Still. There is one submarine crew cooler than this. The USS Wahoo, when they ran out of torpedos they used their deck guns, when their deck guns jammed they used fucking molotovs. I really don't know how I would take to a submarine surfacing and a bunch of men run out throwing flaming liquor all over my ship.

You could get anything from the Seawolf or Nautilus to something like Croaker or Chub.

Wait, no I wouldn't.

kind of awesome that the game even lets that be a viable method of attack

[QUOTE=RichyZ;35472868][b]modded[/b] its more of a sim unmodded[/QUOTE] I've actually managed to sink a destroyer by ramming it with my periscope in SH4, so...

Crank zis machine up to 100 knots, I vant to hit zem wit my sword

"Skipper, the enemy is dead ahead, shall I give the order to fire?" "No...no that's to easy...take us up as fast as possible and accelerate to ramming speed." "S...sir? Is that wise?" "DAMMIT MAN, THIS IS THE RADICLUS, I AM THE CAPTIN AND I AM [I]ORDERING[/i] YOU TO [HIGHLIGHt]RAMP[/HIGHLIGHT] THOSE FUCKERS."

I wanna figure out how to make it go even faster. My eventual goal is to throw my ship onto the deck of an enemy aircraft carrier and ride them like a mechanical bull.

Reminds me of Benjimin Button, when he's on a lil boat with an AA gun attached and a sub fucks his ship up. So the captian rams the boat into the sub blowing it up. [url]http://www.traileraddict.com/clip/curious-case-benjamin-button/the-battle[/url]
