"A census taker once tried to test me..."
 

It's certainly nothing more. The 'Poll' (pay attention to the spelling there chief), has had roughly 500 voters, which represents a large enough cross-secton for me to form an opinion on how popular my idea was. In fact, by the time the Poll closes(which has remained remarkably evenly split) I expect the majority to have voted for change, but, as I've said in an earlier Post, I believe that I was mistaken and that the Developers responsible for the Silent Hunter series should stick to WWII and somebody else should take a crack at the Cold-War, if financially viable, which doesn't look likely.

So, I'll ask again, what was your point? In one sentence, in whatever language you like.

In 3 sentences... i appreciate every single vote and opinion out of this 500 votes, but it would be terribly wrong to draw conclusions or generate directions to Ubisoft out of it...
People who voted are only one group within subsim fans, who - all togather represent only small proportion of sub simulation fans in a world... especially in a non english part of planet...
It seems to me that some "conclusion spirit came out of bottle" in this thread, so I felt a need to point out to some wider view on this issue...

Very well said. :up:
Its time for a mainstream and I repeat a mainstream cold war submarine simulator game. :arrgh!:

Anybody but UBI
 

I hope that the next major subsim, whether it's set in WWII, Cold War, or WWI comes from someone other than UBIsoft. I don't think I go through another SH4 again!

Well as I see it we have to choose the lesser evil.
And Ubisoft is the only one of the major publishers doing something about military naval simulations. I'll take Ubisoft every time over EA.
The only other developpers I could think of is those guys that did GC II. They are passionate, the games are not buggy, they add a ton of content after release, and most importantly they don't depend on a big publisher. The only problem is I doubt they would be interested in a military simulation. ;)

Now there's a good idea. :)

I agree with F.B.T that a alternate history would be cool (Commanding a Typhoon or Alfa would be sweet) but how about doing this in the future (2100-2200 A.D?).

One idea I have been thinking about writeing into a fan fiction is sometime in the future the French (Now called the United Islamic State) have surprised the world and have conquered a most of it in a matter of 2 years. Now what is left of the US, Russia, Germany, and (maybe?) Japan rebel forces must fight off this evil at sea using what ships they can find or build including WWII U-boats all they way to the Seawolf class subs. It's a bit more out there then most (if not all) your guys ideas but I think it would be intresting if done right.

WW3!?
 

No real events, no real joy!

It should concentrate making sh ww2 more realistic. Having the effect to the actual warfare and outcome! That should be heavily considered:know: !

Whatever age, Cold War sounds interesting ;) , PLEASE, make it a good Multiplayer game with the option or commanding Surface Units as well.
Such it was done with Destroyer Command and Silent Hunter II.

Fighting AI is boring :down:

My two cents

Amen to that bro!

And come one mates SH5 in a CW setting :dead:

SH has alwazs been WWII and should remain there!

How about just release a sub-sim from ANY era, that is COMPLETE or at least near complete without us begging for a 90% fix patch.

Sorry to be negative but I feel that SH4 is still not complete. The Devs had a great vision, just like SH3, that was only made complete thanks to the efforts of Modders after the fact.

But the problem with real events is that we already know what is going to happen ;)

On some level, would be great if SH5 would be kind of fictional WW2. It begins with the same events as it did in reality but the course of campaing would change. This would require some sort of AI campaing planning as Falcon 4 has but it would be even better!

The Poll is now closed. Interesting result. Thanks everyone for your opinions and for voting.

:up:

You forgot all the incoming EAM drills you could perform IOT get your spin-up times down.:|\\

well maybe not cold war excatly maybe just a nuke sub sim come on wouldnt tht just be the shizz going round nukeing everywhere sounds excelent to me:arrgh!:
