I play Quake ]I[ Arena since open test released in the mid of '99 :) That says it all.
I haven't played Destroyer Command, a standalone addon to Silen Hunter 2 because it seemed so complicated at a time. I am so glad that, after watching Wolfpack345 streams, I gave a chance to this game. The game is highly customizable and at the same time it is not babysitting you. You can left management of multiple tools to your crew and focus on commanding the ship. And it is great, gosh, so great! It is still demanding, but there is no need for micromanagement, you can be the captain, not some omnipotent deity, I really, really recommend the title to anyone interested with naval combat or simulators. I also recommend reading "Cruel sea" for immersion :)
