I don't, like modern flightsims vs WW2 sims, the Ww2 1's are always better as theres more to do.

Modern subs don't attack with torpedos (unless another enemy sub is out there), they just get near the surface, lob a few SA missles at a target 700k away then withdraw. Boring to make into a game IMO.

I still want a WW1 sim, take on the High Seas Fleet

Yeah, it would. Seeing as the Devs have effectively released SH3 twice. I think a Cold-war set Silent Hunter would be an interesting experiment.

Ok if anyone really knows anything I want to ask him what he knows 'cause I need to design a damn game!

Long time no hear, good to see you're still around.

Though that comment isn't very reassuring. :rotfl:

I second Mr Arclight, it's good to see you here, Dan.

If this forum has so many people posting please check this other SubSim forum, for posting ideas for SH5

I think the devs are well aware of both threads, no worries there.



This is the place for speculation, shouldn't clutter the other one with that.

If the GWX team publishes GWX 4.0 earlier then Ubi can publish SH V then they are pretty fkd, atleast I would first download 4.0 and play it for a very long time, except IF UBISOFT COULD START RELEASING SOME INFO, even a couple of screenshots or a little information on where the game takes place. As I said before the 4.0 interior trailer... looks so good, working periscope, etc. I know u can download so many mods that change the game in so many good ways. One problem... I suck at putting those things in the correct folder, unzipping em and the lot. But back to GWX 4.0, it's free, looks great, info on the web, screenshots, videos... Ubisoft please show us some screens. Btw I hope they are gonna change some things considering the graphics, Sh IV was great, but had lotsa bugs and I think the graphics could have been better... I got a Quadcore processor dual 512 mb GeForce 8800 Gt, a 23 inch screen... Let that game look like a shiny emerald.

"All new code; U-boats in the Atlantic" is all we know, still too early in development for more. IIRC, development would start after moving HAWX out the door. All new code could mean building a new engine, which takes time. Without an engine, you can't show any graphics. Having no screens yet is very encouraging to me; they should lay strong foundations first.

Working periscope? SH4 has that. Lots more too. Remember, it's 2 years old (that's old in computer terms), and build on the SH3 engine. Complaints about graphics not being up to par seem a little misplaced; most people, me included, actually think it looks great. Not everyone has quad-cores and multi-gpu setups. IMHO recommended hardware for the next one should be around GF9600/9800 with 2.4GHz CPU. Anything above that and they will leave people in the cold (even with that they will), not a good strategy considering the market for these games is rather small.

I remember reading comments from people who are (or at least were) running it on GF7600GT, still on an AGP board. If at all possible, I'd like to see those people to be able to play it as well, but I'm not quite sure that's still feasable.

Working periscope... I tried to say that when u wanted it to go up u couldn't see anything happen inside the sub, its hard to explain this way, just go and take a look at the interior trailer for GWX 4.0

[Arclight]

I know what you mean, mate. :rotfl:

Yes, see the things raising and lowering in the interior. Both SH3 and 4 have it. With 3, the obs scope is visable in the CR and the attack scope in the CT. In 4, both can be seen in the CT. (*actually it varies with the model of the boat)

I did play them, you know. :rotfl:

[Sub Commander]

me 2 I had some great time with them but I never saw that happen
