Me too. In my opinion US subs are nice, but the U-boats are where the real action is. Heck, US fleet boat commanders had a comparatively safe war, with short tours of duty and low casualties. German commanders, on the other hand, had much longer tours of duty and a 25% mortality rate.

Speaking of the tour of duty, I hope this version of Silent Hunter will actually model it. None of the others did and we had to mod it in afterwards.

The German trailer certainly has better voice acting. By the way, why did the commander call the cook Franz? Clearly that is Bernard!

Just messing about with graphics,It would be a good title though.

I must confess this is stunning news, I thought SH4 was the end of the line for the series.

Hey, I noticed an error in the trailer - the Kapitanleutnant's cap doesn't have any braid on the visor.

And before the fanboys start screeching, I'm not saying it's a big deal. I really don't care. Just mentioning that I noticed it.

Agreed in principle. However, I am somewhat surprised that SH5 should revert to U Boats as SH2 apparently did not gross as much profit in the UK as they would have liked simply because many sim fans, like me, did not want to 'kill their own'. It was not until the brilliant modders in here made the Pacific Aces that I even got SH2, and by then it was avail on budget CD.

I currently have SH2 on my Win XP laptop, but PA modded. Each to their own, but I have noted that the arguements FOR U boat sims comes mainly from what I qwould term abroad, eg: NOT UK.

Ya but in a years time the mods will be rolling off the line and that will be fixed along with many outher problems the game will have like missing eyes and stuff i guess.
