Any detailed info about VII in game?

[Rosencrantz]

Is there any detailed info availible about the VII-class boat in the sim? I made a search run to internet, but couldn't find much of news. I'm curious, why they concentrated just to one boat? Was it just because of new interior, working engines and so on, or can we wait some other neat features being included?

The reason is you get a far more detailed boat all together and they dont have to delay the game to include other types. I think the other boats will be available through addons . But as far as further information , well its just extremly scarce .

Ok. It would be nice, if they would get in also something else than expanded interior and other suchs eyecandies. But, we'll see...

Personally i wouldt count on anything before the release. On one side i can understand all these threads about DRM since UBI is not giving us a single thing to defuse the situation like screens or footage to talk about.

Yeah, I think so too. I just hope they didn't abbandon other classes just to give us forward compartment and running diesels to VII. But, of course, whole game concept seems quite much different than what we have used to have...

Remember, it's not just one boat, its type VIIA, B, C, C/41

[Rosencrantz]

No, elanaiba, I won't.

It says the VIIA could also carry mines rather than torps ?

[martes86]

It's much more accurate to say "just one Type (as in Type II, VII...) with all versions represented". Though I wonder if the differences between each version will be purely functional (speed, range/fuel carried, displacement...) as opposed to having also visual differences (having exterior and interior models' differences that can be noticed, even if subtle).

Somehow I don't think too many people will forget this. ;)

Would love to know if it would be possible for some astute modder to add a playable VIID though...

However, I fail to see at this point how the C/41 will come into play with the stock campaign, given that this sub-class didn't come into service until after May 1943.

I want to know too, it's impossible, isn't it ? Unless we get some prototype in '42, but even then how long do we get to use it ? Two missions maybe three ? No special topedoes either, just the pre-war and second stage.
I hope they aren't rewriteing history to make weapons apear early just to fit their time restraint.

Excuse me, maybe Fat I torpedoes, but I dought it.

[JScones]

Well, we did get the VIIC/42 in SH3, so rewriting history would not be new. :doh:

[Iron Budokan]

It's all supposition. Let's face it. We actually know very little about the game itself. Which is somewhat surprising, and worrisome, given that the game is due to be released shortly.

Well, it was said the game ends for the skipper in 43. That is this game on this disc...:hmmm:

What about subsequent discs? (DLC) :hmmm:

Dan? :D

Personally, I think the DRM stuff was planted by UBI to distract us from the fact we are getting one class of boat and half a campaign. Hey, it worked!

+1
:yep:

[bigboywooly]

Aye a type VIID would be sweet as we only having the VII class
Though were only 6 of them

Mining missions would be welcome change from normal patrols
If we get the mines - TMA/TMB - then we could use the 7A instead

:up: Exactly my thoughts.

And according to the new SH5-website:

"The type A carried 11 torpedos and an the surface employed with the fast firing 88 cm deck gun." :rock:

Rock on!
