He has? His reply was to the question "Does anyone know anything?" He said he knows something; he didn't say what.
:rotfl:

As long as it is dynamic and not static.

Maybe an Axis and allie subs would be cool. I still like my "Chahuahua's of the Baja" hunting drug subs.

...or DC2 that works with SH4 :hmm:

That response to the question had me scratching the old noggin as well :hmm:

Actually, I said "someone" knows something, not necessarily me! :P :P :P

I have played enough modern combat sims ... to tell you you're wrong.

In fact, I have yet to live in IL2 the same excitement I did in Falcon 3.0, in some missions.

Likewise, Dangerous Waters/modern sub warfare is not the boring stuff people expect it to be.

But when it comes to submarine warfare I don't think anything equals the WW2 era

Excellent point! But you responded in the affirmative to the question, which means that you know for certain that somebody knows something, which means that you do know something after all, whether you know it or not.

I hope its not cold war/ current era...


For me that would be like working at home...ugh

[Christopher Snow]

Interesting. My conclusion from that statement (subcpo, #146) would be that you might do this "sub-stuff" for a living--I assume your moniker is short for "Submarine, Chief Petty Officer)...(and so you might be a bit jaded when you finally work your way down to our "populist PC simulations").

Would I be right? I don't want to put words into your mouth, but...at the same time, that's the impression I get.

Apologies if I should somehow "know otherwise." Because, in fact, I really don't know. I haven't been here (SubSim.com forums) since the mainstream days of SH3 (that was the last time a ran any sort of sub sim, in fact)

Eight pages of speculation! I still like Sonarman's idea:

Judging by the way U-Boat missions and SH4 multiplayer were heading my guess would be that we are looking at the addition of possibly the strategic & simulator level control of surface vessels or wolfpacks for the next game and I'd guess still in WW2.

The logic says that WWII vessels that already available is the only way to do the work on time. New coding is needed to handle the more sophisticated control. This sound like a good idea to me.

Your conclusion is all wrong..Halsey was stupid.

Lol ok there Sean, looks like your months here again .

But OT; Any game released in such a short time would simply be a reworking of existing material. To start from scratch all over again would probably take years of work. Sticking with the WW2 era and with all the current content of SH4 is the only sensible option open to them if the timeframe is accurate.

[Topo65]

I just hope Ubisoft will understand that "gameplay" in a simulation, are in its level of realism.

[Task Force]

I hope they put wolfpacks in the next SH.
