Modern subs?? ---Yawn
 
Surely a modern sub game would be a big yawn?? The only real action was during the Falklands war and the sinking of the Belgrano. Do you really wanna sink stuff from a million miles away using a computer?? As boring as modern combat flight sims. Give me good old seat of the pants, wights of their eyes stuff any day.:down:

Wait, people actually want to play a game about MODERN subs and naval warfare? Why? So we can spend 4 hours staring at radar screen misidentifying dingies as Akulas? :)

I played Dangerous Waters already. It's a good, well designed game, so much so that it accurately simulates the sheer BOREDOME of modern war. :( The problem with WW2 games isn't that they're set in WW2, the problem is their set in the same exact mission/theater/battle of World War 2. We've been to Stalingrad, and Normandy, and El Alamien over and over again. How about some Monte Cassino over here? Fall Gelb anyone? Where's New Guinea? Whut is Singapore?

Oh wait, none of those battles happened in Hollywood, so it would be too hard for developers to make up the look on their own without someone else's matieral to rip off. :lol:

Hope SH V will stay in WWII era.

Hope the new code nad more stuff will enable at least 6 campaings - German, US, British, Japan, Italy and Soviet Union ( or one of them + escort ships ). Further graphics and AI development is I hope certain.

I'm kinda thinking and hopeing for a Destroyer Command type Add-on to SH4 UBOATS.

Some kind of Hunter\Killer thing.


btw just finished reading HUNTER KILLER by William T. Y'Blood. Fairly good read. :yep:

G.K.,
Anything else would destroy SH Image and Brand.

"Kriegsmarine" in new engine would draw half of planet earth to WWII epic campaigns... and save PC simulation... against Boxes and Stations...

"Give back baby to it's mother..."

:know:

Did you serve in the U.S. Armed forces Steve? And you can't afford a copy of SH4 or a computer to run it on? Jeez, I'll buy you a freakin' computer!

Oh, you have no idea. Yes, things are a little tight. No, I'll get everything caught up in my own time, thanks.:sunny:

Now, if you could offer me a decent job...

The appeal of modern sub sims, at least for me anyway, is the thrill of the hunt. From the time you get that initial sonar contact to (hopefully) target destruction is a pretty cool feeling. I've played Jane's 688, Sub Command, and Dangerous Waters. I don't like playing with show truth turned on for those games. A lot of the action takes place on the submarine if you decide to turn auto crew off. If you get counter-detected and fired upon, the action intensifies in a hurry. There are so many different variables in modern warfare. You could be hunting in shallower water while unbeknownst to you a helo is tracking you. He may never get a good track on you or you may find a torpedo homing in on you. With WWII you only have to worry about destroyers and depth chargers. If you were smart enough you would have dived before any aircraft get to you. :lol:

My main worry is... wich era ?

There is a high probability, UBI want to explore Cold War era... :down::down::down:
I think so... just a personal opinion, if they move away of WW2, they will loss lot of customers. Almost me.

Of course... they will gain another customers.
I think so... another time, a personal opinion, most of the people who likes SH III and IV, will not be happy with a Cold War era sim.

SH III and IV, have lot of improvement potential... we need, batithermograph for american subsim, water trap for german subsim, themal layer modelled for german subsim.

Capability to move inside of all complete sub, better AI, 3D and cinematic scenes of all jobs onboard, it was on old subsims and flight sims, better damage model, for sub and ships.

Better airplane Ai, flight model, and attack capabilities, remember planes was the first reason of subs kills.

Better campaing and world modellation, tonnage instead of renown...

A better memory management, just look the diference between SH III and the impoved SH IV...

Just watch all the impovements done by the comunity on both sims, SH III and IV.... lot of things.... we need that.

Almost in my case.... i am not interested on a Cold War sim...

Yep, I would like WW2 cause I dont feel like crusing underwater most of the time, Where you actualy have to look for targets instead of just haveing some one looking at a radar.
