Fast attack

Post by Julhelm »

Does anyone else have this game? I bought it for 16 bucks on ebay, and its easily the most awesomely realistic nuke sub sim for the pc. Dangerous waters can go fuck itself tbh.

I was a big fan of Fast Attack back when it was moderately current. I don't have my copy anymore.

I had a terrible time with it crashing on my machine every day or two, but when it worked it was (I thought) an excellent balance of realism and playability.

Other simulations would do well to follow Fast Attack's lead.

Remember to patch, I hear it helps with the crashing.
That game looks really fun, dangerous waters has a terrible single player.

The thing I dislike with DW and the other Sonalysts sims is how they sacrifice atmosphere and playability for technical accuracy and realism.

FA leaves out things like the demon shack and ambiguous bearings which make tracking and classifying contacts in DW such a tedious affair.

Oh, and the videos ingame are really stylish and well-made.
