PT Boats: Knights of the Sea
Posted by PTConsultingNHR on Thursday, February 4, 2010 5:11 PM

Hello,

My sister gave me PT Boats: Knights of the Sea for PC for my 50th birthday last week.  I've got to tell you, it is an amazing game.  I had to have a video card installed before I could use the game. 

I am amazed at the quality of the graphics in the game.  MTB-59 and 60, the two I've commanded so far, seem to be accurate depictions of the class(es) they represent, the S-26s I've encountered are excellent too.  I'm looking forward to play other missions so that I can command a Fairmile "Dogboat" or the Soviet 80 foot Elco, ... I always wanted to command a 80 footer ...

The Liberty Ship that I had to escort in seemed to had been very accurate.  I wonder if the software people visited the JOHN W.BROWN.

The only complaint that I may have ... is that there are no US PT boats or Pacific based missions - just the English Channel and the North Sea ...

But, still,  it's an excellent game and I highly recommend it.

Can you describe the basic game play? I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how it would work, I would imagine somewhat like asub game where you can move between stations but PT boats move fast, more like a fighter sim, but then you wouldn't really be able to run all the guns and such. 

I googled the game but didn't find anything explaining how the game actually operates. I'm assuming from the screen shots it is basically a first person shooter style game like the various sub and aircraft simulators, not a turn based strategy game.

 

Sounds interesting though.

Aaron,

I'm not sure I can describe the game play that well, ... but ...

You can toggle through various crew stations, helm, bow gunner, aft gunner and toggle through different viewing angles too, above and behind, from the helm, or from either gun position ...

If your boat's damaged, you can have the crew make repairs ...

The more I use it, the more I like it.

Garth
