You can see men walking around on the flight deck of the carriers. This is a nice improvement. Hopefully it means the aircraft will be able to take off too.

It's nice to finally see a periscope view on higher realism settings too. No more GPS map.

Still need real U-boat gauges and dials, though.

One bit of concern....running the text on the German website through the translator comes up with this:

Quote:
Silent Hunter 5 delivers an intensive game experience. For the first time in the series history, there will be dynamic campaign. For this the team developed scenes different by Ubisoft Bucharest that include most areas, in which the first three and a half war years Uboote were on silent running. The campaigns deliver the historic events of this time from the Baltic Sea to the American east coast and lead the player until to Madasgascar. They offer the seas over 160 harbors, 70 air bases protecting as well as over 10500 ships in and outside of of 250 convoys.
The first three and a half years? Does that mean I can't play past 1943?

Pros:
1. water... in the top carrier shot you can really appreciate the wave foam
2. ships that really seem to float and roll with the waves
3. foam around the hull and bow and engine splashes... amazing

Cons:
1. jumping to the periscope is done by moving the camera but there's a clipping issue there, hope they fix it. Otherwise I like that the camera doesn't just teleport you to the 2d screen.
2. the sub's crew looks glued to the deck. On calm water it's not that visible but on rough seas it will be annoying. They need to put an inverse pendulum effect, a bit on the ankles, more on the hips. I think this should also apply to the player's camera.

Otherwise, can't wait...

Devs, I actually have a small request... is it possible to map the periscope cameras as a projection "texture" for an object? I'm still not about to give up hope on modding a full 3D moving periscope with 3d switches. But I'd need to project the actual periscope screen on the "lens" and be able to configure the camera animation on a mouse button of choice (toggle or hold/down).

Nice video, what's it say?

/begin rant

While I have nothing against our European subsimers, I can't help but feel a little...left out? Did some basic looking around on the US Ubi site to see if there was an English version of this video. Not only could I find nothing, the only thing I could find was the forum for the game. So I buzzed over to the German site to see what they had. Evidently (according to the US Ubi site) SH5 will be released in Germany, but not in the US. This really rubs me the wrong way. Where is the English version of UbiTV? Or the Polish, or the Spanish for that matter? Am I just overlooking all this? If I am I'll gladly open my mouth and insert my foot. Allow me to also add that I will not be getting SH5. Not because I don't want to but because I simply can't afford it. But nevertheless I still have a vested interest in the series as I have supported the series and wish to see it continue to flourish. :sigh: If you've taken the time to read my rant I apologize for the loss of a few minutes of your life that can't be recovered.

No that means that they also include parts of the sub-battles of the war that only started after 1942, like Operation Drumbeat and the routes to the Indian Ocean (where there were no subs thus "silent running"). In other words, you've just had confirmation of the TYPE IX

See post #4 for the English version of the video.

Would you like mustard to go with that foot?

Alas I was typing my lengthy rant while everyone else was posting.

So the Mediterranean is in

And an interesting note: If we can go up to Madagascar, there is still hope for the Type IX being included -though of course it can mean we will be jumping from refuel to refuel with a Type VII
