Naval combat

[Degtyarev14.5]

The game is developed by Norm Koger. He's legendary in wargame development. According to a post on usenet, Norm responded to a recent email that the game is finished and ready for release, and he's working on the legal contracts to get it released. In the past, he's been prevented from patching his games by publishers, and it would be nice if he could find a way around that problem even if it meant self-publishing and charging more for the game. This is where Fighting Steel Project excels because it has gotten 10 major revisions and many minor revisions over the last 4 years because SSI relinquished some of their legal control and allowed the source code to be modified.

I am sooooo pleased to read these words!

I figured this would happen. The first two times out in Fighting Steel I lost to CBR, and then the 3rd time out his Japanese fleet looked like what was left after the battle of Surigao Strait. Since then he hasn't wanted to play again.

Just give me as many BB's as you have and then Im ready I never got a chance to show off my leet torpedo skills in that battle heh.

Destroyer Command is actually quite an enjoyable game. You take command of a squadron of DDS and can stand on the bridge of a DD and watch the action and actually fire the guns and torps...

In addition there are several mods out right now that allows the player to take command of CAs, BBs, etc from any navy and where you are actually ON the ship in question.

Scenarios have been created to re-create both WW1 and WW2 battles. And yes, you can fight the Battle of Jutland...

Unlike Fighting Steel which gives you a third person perspective; Destroyer Command actually places you IN the ship (or FPS)...
