We've all played as the Marines and the Army, but what about the Navy?

The Navy's gay. xD But there's a couple games where you get to be the Navy. Metal of Honour: Rising Sun or something like that.
In the navveeeyy!!!
Actualy i would buy a game like that. It would be like battlefront, but HUGE!

Dangerous Waters. It's pretty much every simulation by Sonalysts (one of the greatest Navy sim developers of the past decade) packed into one game. You can command pretty much any platform. I still have fond memories of playing Sub Command as a kid, stalking the Russian Carrier Kuznetsov in my Seawolf. (And having to Quick-Load about 20 times because I let an escort ship detect me, and subsequently got 20 torpedoes up the ass from Anti-Sub planes)Onyx Oblivion said:
It's a good sim. Really in-depth, and even fun...if you can get past the learning curve, and have a really long attention span. Like a get-100%-in-every-mission-with-no-alarms-in-Splinter-Cell-Chaos-Theory kind of attention span. If you can get past that, it's a blast. Literally.
Plus it's on Steam.
Well Navy combat is more about someone sitting at a screen programming in targets and loading rounds into cannons. It isn't exactly the most action packed thing I reckon. Very difficult to market.
How about a Navy RPG. You play a regular enlisted, and regardless of which rating (aka class) you choose, you spend the entire game sweeping, mopping, and painting. The goal could be to log in four solid years of game time, at which point you could either burn the game, or keep playing for another four years. It goes with the gritty realism that developers are trying to work into games. I see this being released on the Wii (the numbchuck is a good controller for sweeping/mopping.)
Oh, come on! They don't sleep in the same beds at the same time. They at least rotate.doctorwhofan said:
From what my friend in the Navy tells me, they just don't do much anymore. Naval warfare is extremely outdated, as the air force can pound down much more firepower than most of those big fortresses on the sea.
Ah, but the secert subs all around the oceans is what controls half of the U.S. Nuclear Armament. Also, the few Super Destroyers that the U.S. employs could delete islands like Japan, edges of China, and pretty much everywhere thats near the ocean(downside) in a matter of mere minutes without nuclear/bio weapons.
Otherwise, the Navy is lacking. They are more of the transporters for the Air Force.

yeah, it's called hotbunking (stop that snickering!!!) where you go to sleep, then wake up and get out of your bed to start your shift just in time for another person who has just finished their shift to crawl into the now vacated but still warm bunk and fall asleep.Bofus Teefus said:
OT: Silent hunters 3 or 4 are excellent choices if you are looking more for simulation or action based naval warfare as opposed to strategy. being a submarine commander would be cool.
