Fubar Wrote:I'd have to agree with Das Boat being an awesome film, and what a heart breaking ending. There was a documentary on telly about it and the hardships the cast went through during filming, no wonder they looked the part so much. Even the set was made with authentic materials so even the sounds on set were as real as possible. 
I may have to go buy the Special Edition DVD now.
If you want a really great sub sim game get Ubisofts "Silent Hunter 3" and then download the free mod "Grey Wolves". GW changes all the "gamey" parts of the sub into authentic dials etc, taken from the captured U505. They also changed the sounds to those taken from Das Boat, so pretty cool. Especially when you hear the crew screaming "we're sinking" from the movie. I have heard that quite a few times. However, my favorite is hitting the old C key for Crash Dive and hearing them scream ALARMMM and then a bunch of German stuff with hatches slamming shut. You can play in English or German, but I always play in German for realism. TORPEDO LOOSE!
U can get it now for about $19.99 in stores or direct dl.
BTW - I have the special edition DVD with the extra footage, it is awesome, much better then the original. You would think 3.5 hours would be too long, but it goes by pretty fast.
