Silent Hunter 5

[Linton]

Perhaps now is the time to start discussing SH5.In the last 4 sims we have seen various aspects of the WW2 submarine war covered but nothing has ever tried to simulate the Royal Navy submarine service at war.The RN submarines covered the whole globe against many different enemies with many different roles.Many allies used the standard British equipment.I do not want a mod of a current game.The basic sim engine can be used,but with allied equipment and voices.Perhaps Ubisoft can be persuaded to have a look at this as their next submarine project.

[Sailor Steve]

People started talking about a possible SH5 several months ago on this board.
You're a little late.

Better late than never, a bit like America and World Wars.

I know the next title:

Ubisoft announces Silent Hunter 5, "Dolphins of the Black Sea"
Take Command of Rumania's only WW2 Submarine, Delfinul and command it during its exciting service as "fleet in being" during the war with the USSR.
Take her on defensive patrols in rumanian home waters while the soviet fleet is holed up on the caucasus coast.
You can even participate in the only torpedo attack she ever made..
Can you hit the unescorted soviet merchant? Change history and sink it...
As a bonus, the two rumanian "super submarines" of 1944 might be included.
Lurk off the turkish coast while a huge battle is going on in the Crimea and change sides. Ward off a deadly depth charging by a croatian motor boat....

Well done :up:

As for SH5, I guess I would be the only one interested in a WWI subsim :smug:

Of course any future subsim should have voice command IMHO

[Kumando]

Sh4 is not finished, hell they didint even bothered to finish Sh3 (including wolfpack, receive new orders at sea, etc) you guys are worryied about Sh5?

[Hans Schultz]

lets worry about a SH4 v2.0 before SH5.

[Sailor Steve]

"Well done"? I was going to leave this alone, but now you pushed the button.

If you want to crticize America's lack of involvement in the two World Wars, you need to go back 200 years and understand what our attitude has always been towards Europe in general.

I will say no more here. If you want to pursue this, go to the General Topics board and start a thread there. I will gladly tell you what, where, when and why there.

[Dowly]

Come on Steve, I´m sure they were just joking. ;)

[rls669]

I'd also like to see a WWI sim. As for voice command, Game Commander will let you control any keyboard command by voice. However, observers will rightly conclude that you are utterly insane as they watch you in action. :D

[Enigma]

Most of the people here need at least a year to get a new stockpile of complaints, whining, and general silliness before we can begin discussing SH5....:yep:

[Linton]

Why cannot all of you get a grip and keep on topic??So what was the previosly stated thread about then?I bet it was not about what I have suggested!!

I'm with you Linton. A sim based on this (SH4/3) platform with UK subs would be great!

PS OT I used to think I was out of line on the general Forum but I can see now that the same folks like to stur it up no matter where they go.:down:

[Sailor Steve]

Sorry, Linton. Sometimes it doesn't take much to get my dander up. At least I offered to take it elsewhere.

As for the Silent Hunter name, it will probably always be WW2. I said just yesterday in another thread that it will probably wait for the full development of Vista and DX10.

I figure the demand for one, outside of the real hardcore element, won't be as high as one based on either US or German subs.

[Drifter9]

Yeah, NS, with Ubisofts track record for dumping good sims early the last thing we should be doing is encouraging them.

As for a the Delfinul and SH5..... how boring does that sound? :down:

Do the Brit subs, Japanese subs, or make a fictional cold war (pre nuke sub 1946-1950) game.

[OlegM]

In all honesty I can't stand no more subs. No UK subs, no IJN subs, no WW1 subs.... I am SICK of playing subs. I am SICK of manual torpedo solutions, silent whispers, red and blue lights, test depths, slow crawling, depth charges, billionth "crash dive" when ASW aircraft is spotted, no multiplayer... I desperately try to find something in SH3-4 but I fail, even though those games are undisputably Kings and Queens of sub simming, and excellent products overall (SH4 anti aliasing affair notwithstanding :oops: )

If it's sub let it have guided torpedos (meaning: post WW2). Then again, we have Dangerous Waters for modern subs and I AVOID playing subs in DW preferring frigate, ASW helo or patrol aircraft.

PLEASE. NO. MORE. SUBS.

Cruisers. Destroyers. Aircraft carriers. TASK FORCES! Yea. Gimme! Me want!

[Drifter9]

Cruisers. Destroyers. Aircraft carriers. TASK FORCES! Yea. Gimme! Me want!
I'd love to see a surface ship sim done like SH3/4. Maybe not aircraft carriers but cruisers and DD's for sure. Maybe a big nasty WW1 sim but with 50 different Jutland style battles.

[kiwi_2005]

We need Silent Hunter 5 with Destroyer Command 2 coming out at the same time.

[Sonarman]

Something similar to the Microprose classic "Task Force 1942" with the addition of Anti-sub and anti-aircraft would be very nice.

Jimmy Carter the piss poor pres or the ultra-deadly boat that bears his name?

It would be fish in a barrel with this Jimmy in SH5.

[Enigma]

I still accept your apology.

[Rykaird]

U-Boats, with every compartment modeled and all key equipment operable through a 3D interface.

[Dane]

He may not have been the best Pres but he was still our Commander in Chief. Some of you are sick, asking about SH5 when we just received SH4.

[Iron Budokan]

We show up early for the ones we start.

[HunterICX]

:yep: A surface ww2 sim would be nice for a change
be a destroyer, a light cruiser/cruiser or Battleship..oh drooling

[1mPHUNit0]

Aces of the Deep 2 will be the new SH5
and the name is
Danger from the Deep

[Backman]

A would like a sub simulator (SH5?) based on cold war era subs. The first balistic american and sovietic submarines. Something like K-19 the movie but in a game.:rock:

[TopCat]

What about a working sh4 first?
I don't think there will be an sh5 when you look at the quality of sh4. I think ubi's reputation is badly damaged after that. :damn:

[ijozic]

Right, when we will see that come out? :shifty:

[Solonor]

This should be moved to the "Other naval games..." forum now :p
But anyway....


:yep: A surface ww2 sim would be nice for a change

Or do it like they have done the "Navy Field" game, only with 3d graphics.
I love how you can progress from a small frigate, within each nation (Japan, German, UK or the US) and slowly work your way up to the bigger ships. With sailors alike, building them up, taking different routes, some lead to carriers, and some to the different types of Battleships/Battlecruisers, heavy cruisers alike.
Give it a better playing system then what Navy Field has today though.

[mookiemookie]

Can we...um....go back to the Atlantic next time? *runs from the angry mob of PTO fans* ;)

[SteamWake]

How about "Booomer" either delivering the package or hunting the delivery platform.

Contemporary subs.

While were off the topic check out a game called "Defcon" lots of boom there :up:

*Yawn* :roll:

Sounding General Quarters, SS? :ping:

Instead of ETO/PTO subsim's, why not just make a universal Naval sim?? No reason why you can't save and exit your Kriegsmarine U-boot career and then load up your IJN DE career without needing to change discs, IMHO.

A croatian motor boat would be in the same league with Delfinul i suppose...:huh: Sounds..uhm..exotic.

Figures...
Anyhow, you know me, SH5 for NUKES, even without ICBM on board...
Playable:
USA: Seawolf, LA, Virginia and Ohio
RUS: Akula, Victor 3, Oscar 2 and Typhoon
Others: UK Astute, vanguard or rus foxtrot/kilo

[Lost@Sea]

I wouldn't mind seeing SH5 shift eras a bit, perhaps a hypothetical Cold War gone hot scenario, where the war is on the edge of full out nuclear and your actions and decisions could possibly avoid or trigger armageddon.

there is already one called Battlestations Midway ..... http://www.battlestations.net/

havent played it myself but it looks pretty awesome.

[Hartmann]

A whole submarine WWII war... pacific/atlantic with the possibility of use scorts or perhaps surface units like battleships (destroyer command)

[DJSatane]

Umm, if they never finish SH4 with patches then gl with SH5...

[Onkel Neal]

SH5 will be an Xbox360/PS3 title. Lots of great explosions, no TDC bugs (no TDC, either). Gran Tourismo on the Sea. No one will complain about the lack of Milkcows or fuel consumption issues, there will be plenty of floating powerups. Damage model improved from SH4, now your sub will flash red and make a coughing sound when its health is in jeapordy. Don't worry about finding any unused sound files or interface files from SH3, SH4 on the disk--you won’t be able to access the disk. And no "A key" crash, at last the keyboard has been taken out of the equation. If you are unhappy with SH4's manual salvo set-up, rejoice, SH5 will allow you to launch all 20 torpedoes at once, simply press L2-R1-O-X-^-X. Cloaking and other combo moves can be unlocked by warping from one arena to the next, sinking 200,000 tons per mission.

Indeed, I think I'd mentioned before, I'd be happy paying full-price for a title that does just that. No real "game" itself, it just "merges" your Sh3 and Sh4 install into one, massive, game - using the updated Sh4 graphics (with FSAA and higher resolutions, of course).

Heck, I'd pay monthly for an MMO of that title. In fact, as it is sufficiently different from this thread, I just started one with that concept (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=478805) for discussion.

[rascal101]

I'm sad to say I'm starting to have the same feeling, maybe I've overdosed on subs! One are I always wanted to see simed but never seen is fighting sail, not the dumb assed pirate jobs that pop up, but a fully fledged, realistic 16th, 17th, 18th AND 19th century naval sim.

Surely with the latest graphics abilities of most pcs a serious fighting sail naval sim could be put together, fighting as UK, France, Spain Dutch or independance US naval ships, with an option to turn pirate if required.

Has been a long time wish but never seems to happen, oh well we live in hope


In all honesty I can't stand no more subs. No UK subs, no IJN subs, no WW1 subs.... I am SICK of playing subs. I am SICK of manual torpedo solutions, silent whispers, red and blue lights, test depths, slow crawling, depth charges, billionth "crash dive" when ASW aircraft is spotted, no multiplayer... I desperately try to find something in SH3-4 but I fail, even though those games are undisputably Kings and Queens of sub simming, and excellent products overall (SH4 anti aliasing affair notwithstanding :oops: )

[corvette k225]

Lets just keep SHV, when it comes out in 2009, make it a WWII and a U-Boat sim. That is what people like World Wide, and that would make the most money for Ubisoft.:D :D And the Battle of North atlantic is the one people enjoy learning and studying the most.:up:

[docnobby]

I'm still hoping for a modern/ cold war era subsim based in SHIV engine or similar.
Dynamic campagne, nice visuals, you get the point... :arrgh!:

I hear people saying, you don't need nice 3D rendering for modern subs, cause you'll be submerged 99% of the mission time. But hey, it's not about seeing! It's about knowing, that you could see nice 3D visuals if you surfaced the boat (while your not going to do that ofcourse)! :know:

I'd love to see a WW2 RN subsim, hunting U-boats in the North Sea, sinking Rommel's tankers and closing the Malacca Straits. There would also be the chance to repeat Cdr Hezlet's feat of sinking the Jap cruiser Ashigara with 5 torps from over 4km away :rock:

[ccruner13]

how bout super battleship redone for pc all jazzed out. there were subs in that game...you got to depth charge them

and that battlestations midway movie they played looks to me like its graphics are comparable to sh3? weak

I'm afraid that the exploits of RN subs in both World Wars are just not well enough known to make a commercially viable game. The U-boats got plenty of publicity and the USN had Hollywood to popularise its Submarine Service but the RN had very little, in literature or the movies.

Now those of us who know something about the subject are aware of the large variety of tasks that RN subs undertook, from shore bombardment to large scale resupply missions via anti-U-boat patrols and acting as navigation beacons for raiding and invasion forces. We would buy it, but are there enough of us to make it pay?

I don't think Ubisoft would take the chance, but maybe someone else would? Obviously it couldn't be called SH5, but what's in a name. Maybe one of the smaller producers might try it, initially as a direct sale download only project, like Dangerous Waters originally was.

Heh... that "other" one... :|\\

Long shot, but has anyone ever played PT-109 from Spectrum Holobyte, released in 1987? That was a fun game.:cool:
Amazing game, I played it up till the early 90s through both CGA and EGA.
Spent many a happy hour on it too, was quite advanced for its time.
The 'standard' enemy fleet:

1 Cruiser - left for last - 2/3 torps
1 Escort, dispatched easily with rockets and 40mm gunfire
1 Destroyer, usually sent to the bottom with a solitary torpedo
1 Submarine, mixture of 40mm on the conning tower and rockets. Unless it submerged, in which case dump a couple of DCs on it.

Huzzah. And then back to Tulagi for beer and medals.

People started talking about a possible SH5 several months ago on this board.
You're a little late.

Better late than never, a bit like America and World Wars.

I know the next title:

Ubisoft announces Silent Hunter 5, "Dolphins of the Black Sea"
Take Command of Rumania's only WW2 Submarine, Delfinul and command it during its exciting service as "fleet in being" during the war with the USSR.
Take her on defensive patrols in rumanian home waters while the soviet fleet is holed up on the caucasus coast.
You can even participate in the only torpedo attack she ever made..
Can you hit the unescorted soviet merchant? Change history and sink it...
As a bonus, the two rumanian "super submarines" of 1944 might be included.
Lurk off the turkish coast while a huge battle is going on in the Crimea and change sides. Ward off a deadly depth charging by a croatian motor boat....

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH :rotfl:
