with u-boats coming would it be possible...

[R3D]

to have a simultaneous atlantic/pacific campaign going all at once in sh4?

would be grreat to have the upgaded water of sh4 along with the atlantic theatre. :rock:

[THE_MASK]

Where does it say we are getting playable uboats for SH4 . Ideally if we get them you could have similtaneous american or german or british campaign .

[Camaero]

It should very much be possible. I just can't play SHIII anymore after the new ocean and crew management in SHIV. Would be nice to get back into the Atlantic in SHIV!

Where have you been sober? There is a expansion pack planned to give us Uboats in the Pacific.

[Ducimus]

I think you mean indian ocean. Only 1 uboat ever managed to get into the pacific proper, poking around australia. Most that were near the pacific were sunk around the java sea, or further west in the indian ocean. So for all intents and purposes, there are no uboats in the pacifc.

Scuttlebutt has it that they will be part of an expansion to be released SOON(tm).

Focusing on the "simultaneous " part...

They would either have to have an option in the menu screen to choose one or the other (ATO or PTO);

or design the campaigns so that entities spawned only when absolutely necessary.

Think about how your mouse stutters (game slows down) when you are in high TC. This is due to the enormous CPU calculations required to run AI behavior and movements of ships all over the ocean.

Unless implemented properly, this 'CPU choke' effect would double if 'simultaneous' campaigns were running.


But, take simultaneous out of it, and I'm all for a new German uboat in the Atlantic campaign with the SH4 engine. :up:

where is the oficial information about the addon ??
or is only speculations ?? :doh:

[hawk2495]

at the moment i believe this is all official speculation.......:huh:

I can't see them doing a full atlantic uboat campaign. That would basically be doing sh3 all over again. I'm betting that we'll see uboats either in the pacific or indian ocean. If they DO make it a full atlantic uboat campaign, all they would probably do is copy the stock sh3 with patches and use sh4 gfx. Nice to look at, but the GWX team would have to work their magic again. It just seems a little excessive for a expansion/add on. I'm betting we'll see something along the lines of SH3's Med expansion, nice but nothing super thrilling. The modders will incorporate it into their mods, and 6 months after it comes out, you'll be able to download a free mod that is bigger and better than the expansion, just as they did with sh3.

If the expansion import the main types of uboats to sh4 , then could be possible a huge sh4 atlantic /pacific campaign,but not simultaneous,because the theaters are different . In two options and two sides, pacific allied/atlantic Axis

one of the most difficult problems is translate the 3d models and stations of sh3 to the new sh4 engine, so if it is done by the addon it can make easy the creation of new mods.
