Too, IMHO Mr. Clancy is kind of a flag-waver, so it may not be surprising that his hardware is ocassionally endowed with super powers (or the enemy dumber'n lawn cigars).
But that flag happens to be the Union Jack… that traitor! Razz

Perhaps Clancy forgot you left the empire in the 1770's!

That was how I felt on SSN too.
RSR is at least well written, even if the Chicago mission is a killfest.
But keep in mind that Clancy had to do with publicized data about soviet subs.
SSN (the novel) is simply boring. Funny is in the novel Cheyenne killed everybody, and in the game I always got killed
Very Happy
SSN (the game) had one mistake..
It was a helmsman's sim, you had to lay rudder and dive planes and maneuvering the sub really took some skill. I never got to periscope depth without broaching
All that stuff is something no sub skipper has to bother about, he simply orders the helmsmen to do that.

I'd like to know if anybody has read both SSN and Teeth of the Tiger...

Which one was worst? Laughing
