The "Uber" Command: Modern Air/Naval Ops Thread

[panzerde]

I can happily confirm that Command has a save function, as well as autosave and record & replay  :)

Good work!

A year ago I would have thought that even for a simple modern naval warfare sim that being able to save the game was part of the price of entry.  Now, post NWAC, it's obviously worth confirming! :o

Can anyone recommend a modern warfare novel like "Hunt for Red October" or (a naval version) of Team Yankee? That type of military techno thriller. I haven't read one since 1991 (Red Phoenix I think) and I'm sure this book will put me in the mood.

id still say Red Storm Rising

[mikeck]

Yeah, I've read that 3 times though.

[undercovergeek]

Just 1 more time?

[mikeck]

No thanks. I just picked up "fourth crises" about a US v China fight over Taiwan. Cliche but whatever

[GDS_Starfury]

only 3 times?

check out To Kill the Potemkin.

I re-read RSR every summer. It's pretty much it for the techno-thriller/WW3 genre.

Try "The War that Never Was", by Michael Palmer (if you can find it) or "The Sixth Battle", by Barrett Tillman.

I read that a while ago but forgotten all about it. IIRC it takes place in the late 60's or early 70's in the Med. I almost didn't read it because the title seemed a cheesy attempt to capitalize on Hunt for Red October. I'm glad I did.

Patrick Robinson has a few naval war novels out as well, Kilo Class and Nimitz Class among them. They are a little bit over the top though.

If you want to read some cheesy fun get some of the Seventh Carrier novels. Quite far-fetched but entertaining.

Kilo was pretty good. Robinson is over-the-top though.

Thanks, Herman. I'll see if I can find them. I'm always interested in new techno-thriller fiction, as long as it is good.
