Anything out in the way of modern submarine simulations.

Been thinking it would be cool to have something like Jane's 688i but with great graphics, in depth game play and perhaps some sort of up to date combat scenarios... war on terror, espionage, cruise missile strikes etc etc

anyone know of anything in the works?

ive put SH3 in the hands of the next generation of subsimmer... and SH4 is getting a little stale for me.

Sh5

I seriously doubt we will see anything as good as Dangerous Waters or Sub Command again in a long time.

Yeah, but if you listen to some people on the SC/DW forums, those two games were/are teeeeeeeeeeerrible :D

Well duh! Can you command a carrier in them? Can you launch nukes? Can you fly a Spitfire? Can you play as a homing kamikaze whale? Can you see every past, present and future unit ever made anywhere in them? Can you say they have better graphics than SH5? Can you say they have better campaign than Falcon 4? Can you say they model the target acquiring system of Abrams tank better than Steel Beasts pro? Huh? Can you? Can you?! :stare:

Yeah, compared to Red Storm Rising, Sub Command was huge step back.

have you tried out Dangerous Waters, yet? Except of the outdated graphics, you can basically have what you strive for - if you use the latest mods and get your teeth into mission building and (platform) doctrine scripts and do compromises. It is very time consuming, sometimes frustrating until you find a workaround to create very complex missions - but finally at the end very rewarding. In short, it is a naval sandbox with focus on ASW/small engagements.

I also think there will be no new (modern) naval sim with that big scope like DW for the foreseeable future. Perhaps if Sonalysts needs to build a new sim from scratch for their non-commercial customers...

I really do not understand why not more folks try out DW now...you get it for a few bucks and you have unlimited fun with it if you have the will to invest your time&energy on it.

Nevermind the subsims, give me some money, so I can do my PT-boat game. I have the idea, just need the money to hire people.:hmmm::dead:

no mod support!
Not to mention the infinitely variable gameplay!
100% crew interaction, totally random (except for a few scripted crewmembers, who are unfortunately predictable - needs modding there)!

I have to disagree on one thing though; there is more mod support than you give credit for.

Meh.

The graphics aren't good enough. Everyone knows graphics are what's important in a subsim. Where's the purty explosions?

I have the idea, just need the money to hire people.:hmmm::dead: What would be more perfect than a Pacific PT sim or Destroyer Command 2, I had the PT running in SH4, I tweeked a few files, and it ran great in single missions, I loved it till I burned that box up, I got the s-bootes running in sh3 and I'm having a ball, but if they make something new with all the perks what kind of a machine will it take to run it ???????? Since we are on the subject where are all the s-bootes and PTs for SH3.

There was a playable pt in sh4 mod workshop forum here at subsim, I got it running pretty well, but could not stand the tubs they put on it for the twin 20s and that 40mm on the bow made me seasick :O:. I'd pay for the rest of the s-bootes and pts for sh3 let me get my crayon and I'll write a check thank you.

Buy a plane ticket and fly out here (to ore-gone) and you can ride on the real thing. We sail this sat/sun.

Isn't that one a bit too buried in the ground to be "mobile"? If he can drag it to my house, I will be very much impressed.

I can hear the wife now, though. "No, it did not follow you home, and no, you can't keep it!"

No, I missed out on that. I wasn't really active on the site at that time, mostly just lurking a downloading mods. I was kicking myself once I found out there were a bunch of subsimmers hanging out in Houston and I missed it.

It would be cool if they could attemp the same concept as sh2-DC, and do a "world of subs". all nations during WW2. But, I think it is too big
