As I have said elsewhere, I'll buy a couple of copies of this, to help it be a success. Only if a revnue stream is forthcoming will UBI and others continue to give us Naval sims.

It's ok to say you are not a certain fan of things, but I think it wrong headed to say you won't purchase certian things because of preliminary issues and such.

I'm sorry, I liked seaquest and silent service as much as the next guy, but I like even more the hope for new sub sims, as well as other WWII era sims involving water being created.

I love the efforts of everybody over here to work on SH4, it's a much better game, and UBI is still working on it, after our fears that they were dead after 1.2.

GWX was really neat, when I could play it in those pre-Vista days, I always enjoyed it.

I'd love to have a SH3 at SH4 graphics levels.

I miss the interactive gauges in SH3, but don't want to trade them for the graphics...

....what I really want is this add-on to be sucessful, and people at UBI/Romania to think about letting me have my Fletcher class to take on a Kongo with.

:)

Count me as another that would have bought a British Sub addon but will probly in all likelyhood pass on this one.. mind you if it becomes a requirement as a base that all the modders are working from then I may be forced into it :hmm:

i fail to see why ppl are so against that:-? . what could possibly be better than a Uboat campaign in the atlantic within SH4. Bane, maybe thay can put much more of the same of what's in Sh4 now into the addon just for you.:p

TBH I understand where these remarks come from
After all SH4 is the US in the Pacific
SH3 covered the Atlantic
There are plenty that dont want to play as uboats
Much the same as there are ppl that will only play as uboats

This way the door is open for a transfer as well as making money for Ubi

Having said that from day one ppl have been trying to port SH3 over to SH4
The devs add on will just make that easier
Would have happened without it though

The Atlantic sharks have managed to port a uboat etc over and have seen other pics of a VIIC in the SH4 engine too

It's a good thing that they offer people who do want to play subs to play "SH3" in SH4 graphics. Although I probably won't play U-Boats (not because I don't like them but because I've played them too much) I'll buy the add-on. If UBI makes good money with it they might consider to do a DC2 add-on.:cool:

@Capt. Shark Bait: Your sig translation is a bit off, it should be "Leiser und tödlicher edler Ritter der Tiefe" but it could be "Leiser und tödlich edler Ritter der Tiefe" as well depending if the knight is "silent, deadly and noble" or if he is a "deadly noble" knight.;)

Exactly Bigboy. This was the point I was attempting to get across last night. The want and demand for uboats in the SH4 environment is there. The devs offer up the starting point in the addon. Now we run with it:up:

Unless they throw in a few more US,RN and Japanese ships in the expansion I just can't see buying it.

It just frustrates me that instead of adding a Royal Navy or Japanese sub campaign to SH4,they instead add an obscure and rather unimportant U-Boat campaign to the game just to cater to the U-Boat crowd so they can get a few more euros out of SH4.

I know damn well that if Ubi had done an expansion for SH3 that included a US sub campaign in the Atlantic that the U-Boat crowd would have screamed bloody murder over it.

Vast U-Boat crowd conspiracy
 

Why even attempt to speak for someone else? That just doesn't make any sense at all. You are merely projecting your own attitude on SH3ers, just as you think that Ubi should have the same values you do. We're not in control here, Ubi is. It's time for us to take a seat, count our money and get ready for the show, whatever it is. 99% of all the worry in the world is about things that turn out not to happen. I'm going back to sea!:arrgh!:

Really, most people seem to be missing a point here. WHen the expansion comes out, if it doesn't use a second executable that means they'll have to have made it possible for the engine to support switching between nations, as well as having pre-made 3d interiors for u-boats. Just think, support for multiple concurrent campaigns, covering the same theater of operations from 2 or 3 different perspectives.

one of the problems with port u-boats to sh4 is the no crew and no radio room, but if the addon have it it could be possible adapt it to other boat types and mod a full atlantic campaing for sh4, or a mediterranean scenario with british submarines.

Most odd posts here?
Miller Lite commercial?
Less filling!
Tastes great!
:huh:

thx. got that off google translator. about what one would expect from that, i guess:-?. Leiser und tödlicher is off my boats skull/crossbones tower emblem

On further reflection I'll probly end up getting the addon as I did love SH3 and the Uboots so providing the addon isn't bug ridden there is no reason not to get it and then be able to swap if the whim takes me to

oh.. did I mention that a British Med mod would be a good thing if this addon let's that happen :arrgh!:

What a load of old cobblers :nope:

Many people (including myself and GWX folk) have purchased SH4.
What was obscure and unimportant about the War in the Atlantic ? :hmm:

Remember not the War in the Atlantic will be added to SHIV, Ubi add the " unimportant " U-Boat campaign in the Indic Ocean
