Another Great Simulation from Sid Meier - Author of F-15 Strike Eagle Now he takes you from the cold, thin air and limitless space of F-15 Strike Eagle down into the dark depths of the Pacific Ocean inside an American World War II submarine for a realistic, action-filled simulation - SILENT SERVICE
Thrill to the initial sighting of the enemy's strike force in your periscope as their ships come into your range. But watch out - the enemy's escorts have just sighted you. You're the hunter - but suddenly - you've become the hunted!
As Commander, you must sink their ships and keep your submarine from being destroyed - if you can. Will you select a quiet patrol sector in the Marianas Islands or choose the dangerous waters off the coast of Japan? Is a submerged daylight periscope attack best or do you charge in on the surface at night using only radar bearings to guide you? Do you fire a spread of your precious torpedoes or can you close the range and pick off the enemy with a single torpedoe shot? These decisions and many more are yours to make as you take your place among the elite ranks of the SILENT SERVICE!
It's exciting - and it's fun. It's another great Micro Prose simulation - and it's called SILENT SERVICE. Look for it now on your dealer's shelves.
You are now a member of the Silent Service, the US Navy Submarine command. For a long while after Pearl Harbor, you are the only forces capable of striking back at the Japanese in the Pacific. Take one of the "fleet boats" and go on extended patrols of up to 2 months from Hawaii, Australia, or New Zealand. Set your difficulty/realism level and time period (early means less tech for juicier targets, later means tougher escorts, more tech, lousier targets). Contend with factors like dud torpedoes, maximum depth, and more.
You can choose among practice run against some old hulks, recreate historical convoy attacks, go on a single patrol, or go on your own campaign, which lets you go multiple patrols until you die, get promoted, or survive the war.
How well will you do when matched against history?
