Do we really need a Silent Hunter 6?

I personally wouldn't mind at all if we didn't see another WWII sub sim for 3 or 4 years. At that point, either Ubisoft could release another one, hopefully having learned something from the SH5 fiasco, or there may even be a new interested Publisher by then.

I think the last thing we need is 'Silent Hunter 6 Fiasco in the Pacific' about 12 months down the line.

Have you ever heard of the Cold War ?(even though there weren't any fights between USA and USSR) Ever heard of nuclear submarines ? There's your possible SH6 theme.

LOL it seems we replied at the same time...

Whos to say you wont get a DLC expansion for SH5 adding in the Pacific

[Nordmann]

If in a few years time they decide to do another Silent Hunter, or an expansion for SH5, I would really, really like to see something other than U-boats and Fleet Boats. Perhaps British submarines for a change? Has there ever been a sim covering British subs?

You'll be fine as long as you keep your beer goggles on. Oh, and remember to put a paper bag over your head in case hers splits

I'd as soon not have Ubi involved in another sub sim if /5 is any indication of what we have to face in the future. Just sayin'.

[SabreHawk]

Oh my, well I dont know about SH6 or care right now. I think we should concetrate on coming to grips with what we have in front of us now.

But what I really want to know is how Olaf's sister Olga got in here.

[Frederf]

We're going to keep needing attempts at Silent Hunter until UBI gets it right!

[thruster]

we need the most realistic sim possible. whether thats a uber SH5 or SH10, as long as we get it.
for me personally, modern stuff is too techno driven, WW2 atlantic/med is the best era.

[Brag]

There is something very wrong with an organization that consistently produces defective products. In Ubi's case, they have consistently produced a worse SH game than the previous one, SH4 and SH5. This indicates very serious internal problem.

It would be nice if they just went away, at least from subsims.

I think Silent Hunter 6 will be great!

I read somewhere that the Ubi team was going to return to their "original" simulator type game, like SH3, instead of the console oriented gameplay.

But I have to say that the WWIII theme and the fact that it's supposed to be realistic has gotten really exited about the new release.

[Ktl_KUrtz]

Ignoring everything that every body has done for the game regarding mods, how and where they want to play ie the North Atlantic, I know that we will have a Pacific specific (sic, lol) game from UBISoft!

[KirinFrost]

Or a mod/SH6 that has a REAL dynamic campaign in that you can actually win the war and affect FUTURE campaigns due to your actions.

Would be great if that was made

Although i guess SH6 will never be made. The series is probably long dead. T.T

You know what would be funny and pretty cool too ? SH6 being an online game where everyone is part of the crew, this having 30-40 people connected at once, doing various tasks around the sub... my guess is we wouldn't even leave the port before sinking because the Helmsman went afk but oh it would be so funny

You know what? That actually has the potential to be quite awesome, hopping on a server and taking the reins of a u-boat position, either driving the sub or manning the TDC, hydrophone, or some other skill-demanding station. Having the AI call out to you "depth charges in the water!" is one thing, but to sit there with actual people around you in the sub, using VOIP and text chat to communicate to you that the torpedoes are ready to fire, that there is a destroyer making an attack run, or that there are merchants off the starboard bow... that'd be something else. Especially if they implement getting wounded or killed.

Even though I fear that it'd often be a bunch of headless chickens running about, Battlefield series-style, than an organized, well-functioning crew.
