Hello, it has been a year since I last visited or played SH5. Is this Mod dead?

I have been waiting for TDW to save SH5 in the way only he can. Is that day ever coming, or will I have to wait for some brave software company to create an all new WWII Subsim?

Yes, but does that Mod doesn't fix the fundemental problems SH5 has, or is it just more window dressing? Two of the biggest problems SH5 has are the limited number of ship types you can sink in the campaign and the fact that the AI can get locked onto you, making a save & reload necessary, thus destroying immersion. Had SH5 had another year of work put into it by the Devs it would've been incredible. As it is, or was last time I played (with Magnum Opus, IRAI etc), it's unplayable.

So, the question stll remains, does TDW intend to release a new version of Magnum Opus?

Edit: From reading the 'MMM-My Mega-Mod thread', it's already starting to look like Pedrodas is getting bogged down trying to make the Mod-soup work. I think he's very brave to take it on, but the game basically needs a Dev team to save it. I think TDW should get a Purple Heart for bravely tackling this monster...

What window dressing are you talking about

have you seen Uekels Mnts

and the fact that the AI can get locked onto you, making a save & reload necessary, thus destroying immersion.

I think these lists are getting smaller

Had SH5 had another year of work put into it by the Devs it would've been incredible. As it is, or was last time I played (with Magnum Opus, IRAI etc), it's unplayable.

Trevally, are you saying there's a version of SH5 out there that's easily accesible, that makes it what it should've been in the first place? If so, where is it?

Please don't suggest I download 50 different Mods and then try and get them to work together.

Sorry The General ,

I have just spent all day trying to improve this game and have been hit by issues at every stage.

I should not have taken my frustrations out on the first SH5 bashing post I came across.

You've spent all day?! Guys have been working on this since SH5 was released, how many years ago?! They have all focused on individual things rather than tackling the whole. Hell, I even had a go at putting icebergs in the game once myself, and I am in no position to be meddling with software. There are core issues that I've never seen fixed, not by TDW and not by anyone else. I honestly don't think it can be done by anyone but the Devs. I admire you for trying so hard to fix this game, it's frustratingly close to being great. I think we finally have to call this one. In fact I'll do it right now:

@ The General, I know where you're coming from but these guys are giving it their best and they get my full support and respect, you must surely realize that there is still hope for SH5, and guys like TDW have brought the game a long way!

it's frustratingly close to being great.

Lets just see how the MMM mod develops, there are a lot of talented modders behind this!
