New supergun on SH5 !

[PL_Andrev]

Good news!

On type VIIA we have a fast-firing 88 cm (34") deck gun on board!
Very good - we can fight with HMS Hood with our artillery - Hood's main artillery was only 8x34 cm (8x13")... we have only one but 2 times higher now....
Yeah!!!!

:rotfl2:

Things will be interesting if SHV has as many bugs as the website.

[Adriatico]

Viva la crappy internet, DRM/OSP will save me from buying this.

:har::har::har::har:

I think they ment the 88 mm deck gun.

Killjoy. :nope:

Why dont people give the game a chance. I mean in the end it will be the community who will kill there own silent hunter series.

[karamazovnew]

I'm pissed, in my last GWX patrol I waited for 10 days near Narwick for Warspite or any other BB. 4DD"s came strolling by me at 35+ knots but no BB. How do you hit a 35 knot DD?! Their length passes the impact point in less than 2 seconds! Heck, even opening a tube takes longer than that. I shot at 4 of them and barely managed to hit ONE. I mean.. cmon!

I hope the new 88 will fix that. No more mister silent guy....:arrgh!: I'll take out all my torpedoes and fill the sub with shells :woot:

Game specific Ubisoft websites have always been fairly awful in my experience. Glad to see they're keeping with tradition at least.

[capthelm]

getting crap guys scrapping the barrel now...

:down:

[gimpy117]

it's fast firing because it has a semi automatic breech....:nope:
you ever think in relative terms? or do you just see the words fast firing and think machine gun...

but nice try trying to bash ubisoft.
I'm getting sick of this

No one mentioned the "fast firing" aspect.

It's the 88cm that is odd.
88cm is over 2 foot. That's one hell of a big gun.

BOOM!

[SteamWake]

First thing I thought of was the 'fast firing' aspect and the heated debates over the rate of fire in the modding forums :yep:

[razark]

Yeah, it's also twice the bore size of a Yamato class battleship. It can be as fast as it likes, with an automatic breech, but you'll only be able to carry two shells for the giant cannon.

See video here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_David

Also, the largest gun used in combat: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwerer_Gustav
They weighed nearly 1,350 tonnes, and could fire shells weighing seven tonnes to a range of 37 kilometers (23 miles).And that's an 80cm gun.

Please, stop blaming the community for the well-documented limitations that have already been revealed, by UBI I might add, regarding this game. :timeout:

If this game tanks it's not the fault of the subsim community in any way. Trust me on this one. No. Seriously. It's not. :03:

+1
I too am quite dismayed to watch one of my favorite franchises get DRM'ed and Whined to death.

:nope:

[Sailor Steve]

You weren't around to see SH3 get "Dynamic Campaigned", not to death, but to a six-month delay and a fix.

The whining is all we have to combat 'features' we don't like.

[urfisch]

i think they ment the new:

"88cm rapid fire rocket launcher with nuke warheads"

only effective defense are the:

"sharks with freakin lasers on top"

:88)

Could be , but only after an intensive modification in a lot of things.
at the moment DRM, boats,campaign, realism...

We keep asking for sharks, but UBI keeps giving us sea bass!

[Steeltrap]

This thread is rather silly, but also not.

It's silly in that clearly it's an 88mm gun (and a naval gun at that, not related to the 88 of flak/tiger fame).

It's NOT silly in that it shows a very poor quality/attention to detail focus. I don't know if it's been corrected, but, if not, that says something, too.

Some detailed material from Ubi could help the forum as it would give everyone something new to 'discuss'. That's a two-edged sword, however. If the material is full of errors and/or regarded as strictly 'arcade', that will ignite another firestorm.

Cheers

+1 or should it be 88?

Exactly. :up:

What I'm finding very funny now are people repeating comments like "Ubi doesn't care what we think - we are a small community thus insignificant, so your complaining is a waste of time" followed by "All your complaining is killing the series!". Comments ironically coming from the same crowd. :doh:

Well guys, which one is it?!?!?! It can't be both, surely. ;)

I doubt it will fit :O:

[JScones]

:nope: I can't believe how uninformed people are about U-boat technology. :nope:

It's quite well known that around 1941 the Germans started adding 88cm guns to U-boats to combat the technological advances made by the Allies. Surely you've all seen these Allied inventions in the history books:

Haha...Awesome!

[Schultz]

But what about 88m :haha:

Quite correct :yep:

[Uber Gruber]

Just a quick question....what's the reload time ?:88)
