P.S. As with regards to location references I have almost finished an entire full game and have hardly seen any land or any references to locations. Another big disapointment is that it seems the sea is flat as a pancake haven't seen any waves at all

So, how are the missions? Are they diverse or is it just attacking enemy convoys or protecting allied ships?

[dr_danger]

They are reasonably diverse: attack a transport that has fallen behind, recon the convoy to direct your capital ships towards it, steal secret documents from a surfaced submarine, rescue survivors, protect a striken transport and lead it to safety, night time attack so not too bad however its a shame that most of the time the only difference playing allies or axis is the ship models ie exactly the same mission you dont start on the "deffensive" side if you choose the same mission for different side, the ships just swap and instead of an ELCO you are in a german boat. Most of the missions are impossible to complete unless you are in a tactical map view, which is a shame as it detracts from the sim.

That sucks! Sounds more like SH II.... I was hoping it would be more like SH III or IV where you can play consecutive missions.

I guess I won't get the game on release but wait till I can get it for 10 bucks or so.

Anyone found or has access to an alternative download of the demo?

The original site just times out.

I've had a go at the demo and it's very impressive. Can't wait for the English version

Here's hoping the water looks this good in Silent Hunter 5

[Task Force]

So. when will this game be released in the US.

to set English GUI:
- open start.ini in demo folder
- change <locale>ru</locale> to <locale>en</locale>

when you create an folder EN in the folder LOCALE and copy all folders from RU and the files voice_messages.xml and NavalsDescription.xml, the game runs in english for me.
can anybody help me out with an realistic german flag for the game?

Could you please post a step-by-step guide so that even I know how to do it? This would be really awesome!

[Halemann]

ganz einfach,

1. in der START.INI englisch eintragen (EN)

2. dann den ordner EN im verzeichnis LOCALE erstellen

3. alle ordner vom Verzeichnis RU (in LOCALE) in den neuen Ordner EN (in LOCALE) kopieren

4. nur die dateien VOICE_MESSAGES.XML und NAVALSDESCRIPTION.XML vom Verzeichnis RU (in LOCALE) in den neuen Ordner EN (in LOCALE) kopieren, ansonsten gibt es abstürze

dann müßte es englisch laufen!
hast Du eine idee, wie ich zu einer realistischen deutschen flagge komme?

[hyperion2206]

So I would only copy the folders "Help", "html" and "missions" and the files "NavalsDescription.xml" and "voice_messages.xml" into the EN folder,right? Do I have to delete the "ru" folder after changing all that?

And sorry, I don't know where to get a real German flag from.
