About PT Boats: South Gambit
<p>“The seas can be dangerous, but when you’re in command of a crack strike boat crew…”. Deadly naval weapon of WWII is back with more campaigns, ore combat aircrafts, ships and even more fascinating gameplay.</p>
<p>The original game “PT Boats: Knights of the Sea” has opened a new previously unknown aspect of naval battles in WWII. Now with the large-scale add-on “South Gambit” you will find yourself commanding a lethal torpedo boat in the very heart of two new theaters of war. The long listing of authentic warships, boats, weapons and aircrafts is now amplified with the legendary Soviet attack plane IL-2, German torpedo bomber He-111H-6, Italian cruiser Condottieri and many more.</p>
<p>You will join battle in the Mediterranean and transport British troops and supplies to Libya and Tunis, escort convoys to besieged Malta as it was in operations “Harpoon”, “Vigorous” and “Pedestal”. Then you will be relocated to the Black Sea region where some of the most dramatic historic battles were raging. Nazi “Kriegsmarine” will do it’s best to disrupt sea communications between Sevastopol and Novorossiysk. So, you and your PT boat will play their role in night raids to the enemy bases and then in artillery attacks on Nazis in Yalta and Anapa.</p>
<h2>Key Features:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Enhanced graphics and even more realistic seascapes.
<li>Enhanced AI algorithms.
<li>New gameplay features – torpedo bombers and mine fields.

Still works on Windows 10. Latest version before Win 11. 64bit. Game is old as the sky and just as the previous one crashes if you try to go for Directx 10. Stay on 9.0c In addition gfx settings may change randomly so my advice: Don't dismiss the graphics panel that comes, check it every time you launch. Additionally disconnect other screens using windows own 'Display Settings'. You can enable them again after game. Now you dont have cursor running away to other screen. So once you got the technical side in order it is a decent game. It is still one of the few PT Boat games there is. And i am pleased with this one and it's predecessor. Knight of the Sea. It gives you the right amount of 'being there' feeling i like so much in the first game. You are not a god in these games, in fact skirmishing and trying to find the right angle to come in and use those torpedoes is the name of the game. Game could be improved in a ton of ways but that is not going to happen.4 found this helpful
It adds a few interesting units to the game and the editor is already there and you don't have to install it from the website via a patch. I would still only buy this game in a package with Knights of the sea or at a reduced price. There are no spoken dialogs in the mission missions but only as text. In addition, you only get "24" missions of different lengths, where the predecessor has about 50 missions. I'm not going to assume here that there are actually only 12 missions, since you only change sides in the campaign of the other nation. However, I think that the campaign is sometimes made more interesting than that in Knight of the seas. I like the game style because I am already familiar with Battlestation: Pacific, where you often have to control several units on a 2d card, but this was graphically more demanding. despite that, i give the game a thumbs up, despite the problems.3 found this helpful
As of today, I have not been able to find a User's Guide for PT Boats: South Gambit! ANYWHERE IN THIS WORLD I CAN GET ONE?1 found this helpful
Mouse doesn't stay inside the game and I have two monitors, so the mouse pointer comes out onto my secondary monitor and if I click while it's outside the game, it minimizes. Annoying, but not all that problematic. Until you try to go back into the game and it crashes, that is. Tried the first game, same thing. I can't play this game because I'm not going to unplug my secondary monitor just to play it. Refund request issued because honestly these games (I got the bundle) isn't even worth the $2 USD and change I spent since I can't play it due to this little bug.1 found this helpful
Unbelievable the same missions in this as the other PT Boats game just different enemy.1 found this helpful
