Has anyone considered doing an Enigma: Rising Tide Mod for either SHIII or SHIV?
I don't really think the game was all that popular, and it was definitely REALLY hard at times, but the storyline was totally innovative and spanned both Atlantic and Pacific ops for the various factions you could play with. I think a variation of their storyline could be good, with Germany at war with the Japanese and having a fleet of Type XXI boats operating out of Penang, or some such crazy stuff. Like the US fleet of 1944-1945 taking on the Japanese and the British.
For anyone who hasn't played the game, the idea is an alternate cause of WWII. In the story, the Germans do not sink the Lusitania and continue playing fair with the US, thus keeping them out of the war. They eventually win in 1917, when the French army mutinies and then impose a very harsh (Versailles-like harsh) peace on the British and French, namely France is mostly occupied (think WWII but even more-so) and Britain is made into a satellite state of Germany, complete with their impressive ship-yards and naval expertise, and with German sympathetic Price Edward (later Edward VIII) aiding them in forming a provincial government, England is betrayed to its enemies. The British government in exile, headed by First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill, flees to Hong Kong under the banner of the League of Nations, joined in their fight by the Japanese Empire, who offer their assistance to the British as fellow League members. The United States, never drawn into the larger European conflict, remain isolated but continue gearing up their Atlantic and Pacific fleets. So, anyway, it would just be cool to have that sort of storyline or whatever with the good interface there is with SH3 or even SH4.
