Just messing about with graphics,It would be a good title though.

I must confess this is stunning news, I thought SH4 was the end of the line for the series.

Hey, I noticed an error in the trailer - the Kapitanleutnant's cap doesn't have any braid on the visor.

And before the fanboys start screeching, I'm not saying it's a big deal. I really don't care. Just mentioning that I noticed it.

Agreed in principle. However, I am somewhat surprised that SH5 should revert to U Boats as SH2 apparently did not gross as much profit in the UK as they would have liked simply because many sim fans, like me, did not want to 'kill their own'. It was not until the brilliant modders in here made the Pacific Aces that I even got SH2, and by then it was avail on budget CD.

I currently have SH2 on my Win XP laptop, but PA modded. Each to their own, but I have noted that the arguements FOR U boat sims comes mainly from what I qwould term abroad, eg: NOT UK.

Ya but in a years time the mods will be rolling off the line and that will be fixed:) along with many outher problems the game will have like missing eyes and stuff i guess.

U-168

I hope developers learn from past mistakes (Silent Hunter IV)

It's alive! :rock: Looks very promising! - but allways MORE sim LESS arcade....

Looks great...guess I better start looking into more Ram as it looks like a real system hog.:woot:
*and all of you will buy it..say it!*

Dang, thanks for the e-mail Neil/Subsim, wonderful news indeed! :up:

Can hardly scroll these pages fast enough to get to the end as more posts go up. LOL.

Looking forward to this. :yeah:

I don't agree with this.

I am so glad they went back to u-boats. For me stock SH4 with its American subs lacked all the atmosphere found in World War 2 German Uboats.

It was nice they attempted to bolt on uboats with the SH4 UBoat Expansion but it was bugged in places.

For me when you think of submarines you think of the German Uboat war primarily.

I can't wait!

thants a good point!! :up:

Here's a few more screens, apart from those we've already seen...

I hope there will be Type XXI

Late to the party as usual, but thanks for the email heads-up on SHV! :yeah:

When the game comes out, it will force me to "retire" my old trusty Dell Dimension 8400. I'll sink her with a clean bow shot in the hard drive.

Hot damn...a U-boat crew that dresses like a U-boat crew!

I'm excited but wary about getting my hopes up...

I remember past disasters.

I do hope UBI make an announcement about wolfpacks soon and put us all out of our misery though!!!

Hmm... that arguement doesn't really hold water as SHIII also a U-Boat sim sold very well in the UK even entering and remaining in the charts for many weeks (unheard of for a sub sim). I think the reason SH2 did not sell well in the UK was simple, it was not a very good sim with poor graphics & AI and a multiplayer that barely worked and consequently it was reviewed poorly and sales suffered suffered accordingly.

Ubi recently announced that Europe was a larger market for them in terms of sales than the US and just yesterday they reported that Germany for the first time is now a bigger market for Ubisoft games than the UK, that could also have been a factor in the decision. It would be very interesting to see a breakdown in sales for the SH series by region, I bet it would be a real eye-opener!

which brings me back to U Boats ;)
