Default Silent Hunter MMO

Imagine this...

Doing patrols in real time connected to a server with other u-boat captains all doing patrols as well. All connected to the same server.

You could meet up and do wolfpack attacks on large convoys, etc.

I dont know if this is possible, doubt it but I would certainly play something like this.

Flight Simulator has something like this where everyone connects to a single server and do flights in real time.

Aye, this would be great. Tho, I'd like the ability to command anything, abit like WWIIOL style. Maybe not the ground battles, but merchants, warships, submarines, Coastal Command, carrier based planes. Would be great.

Would be great. Just to hook up at any point in time and you could have many captains out there on the hunt.

Hopefully someone will come back with a better response than me just hoping!

I had already broached this topic over in the SH4 forum:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=131667

The biggest problem is making it worthwhile time-wise when real life patrols may last more than a month (or three). I believe that time compression is unworkable in such an environment, and I mentioned an alternative approach in the above thread.
