SH5 can operate destroyers .

You are thinking about Destroyer Command 3? ;)

One word......Wolfpacks!

Both theatres in one sim. You get to choose which country (Germany, US, Britain, etc) to play.

Once the engine is built and works, it's really a question of:

1) Scripting traffic for all regions (possible now, with modding).

2) Building a campaign GUI for each country, and assigning country-specific mission assignmets.

3) Switching renown points (or penalties) depending on which "side" you are playing. Since in SH3 and SH4 you only played from one side, this was not an issue.

4) Building sub graphics and appropriate to each country.

5) The trickiest: enabling different targeting mechanisms based on which country/sub you are playing, since they didn't use the same techniques. Trickiest because it cuts closer to the core of the game engine.

I'd be happy if they just used the same engine as SH4, as long as they fix what's wrong with it now.

I would like to continue with WWII because Cold War subs are really a different animal entirely. When you don't need to surface, ever, you're playing by fundamentally different rules of engagement.

If there could be improvements, I'd like to see it in crew management. They fixed the micro-management problem of SH3, but I'd really like to see the crew come alive and play a genuine role in the game (morale = normal, anyone?).

My money sez there won't be another Silent Hunter.With all the hoo-raah,I think that the Silent Hunter series might be over.If there is another one I'd guess Atlantic,with destoyers involved.

Seeing how the devs for a probable SH5 will most likely be UBI Bucharest again, I think they might opt for a Black Sea theater :up:

We've had the Atlantic, we've had the Pacific, why not the Blac Sea?

No, seriously - Romania actually had 9 submarines and 1 sub tender during WWII, and they did see some action:rock:

They were:

3 submarines = NMS Delfinul (HMS* Dolphin), NMS Rechinul (HMS* Shark), NMS Marsuinul (HMS* Porpoise)

6 midget subs = generically named CB1 - CB6, used only for observation/spotting at 30 miles off the coast

sub tender = NMS Constanta (HMS Constanta**)

* = HMS because Romania was a monarchy at the time
** = named after Romania's main port, Constanta.

On a more modern note, we also have a SSK Kilo Class (Type 877EKM) {Project 877E, NATO code "Kilo"(export type)} Russian Attack Submarine, built at Leningrad Admiralty Shipyard, which we imported 1986. It's out of commission, though. There were plans a few years ago to recondition it and turn it into a museum, but there were no funds to finish the project.

Atlantic for the win!

Atlantic rocked... :rock:

The game should cover the whole world, the maps already do. All pre-nuclear subs should be available, all nationalities playable. WW1 & WW2 campaigns plus a number of "What IF?" campaigns. You might have to load nationalities separately and it might be multi-disk, or even basic game with major powers and conflicts, plus add-ons for others.

With Sh1 and Sh4 you play with Americans, with Sh2 and Sh3 you played with the Germans, so why not Sh5 with Italians?
As italian I hope to play with Regia Marina's subs like the Calvi class or the R.Smg Scirè.

yes but this is a dream.For me Ubi never made SH5.:damn:

Caro Amico sarebbe bellissimo avere un asimulazione con i sommergibili atlantici con base a Bordeaux...e' un sogno ad occhi aperti.
Purtroppo secondo me Ubi non fara' mai piu' una simulazione di guerra sottomarina ...dopo quello che e' successo con sh4:cry: , un tira e molla per poter avere un gioco decente.:down: .Non so se conosci DW dei Sonalyst , non e' male.
E' una simulazione ambienteta ai tempi di oggi. provalo.
ciao:yep:

Ciao
si, conosco DW solo che non mi attira la grafica e poi non ci sono unità italiane. Io speravo in un sh5 con unità tipo il Calvi, il Tazzoli, il Perla, lo Scirè ecc... che percorra i fatti storici. Purtroppo, come dici tu, questa è solo un'utopia, però sai, sperare non fa male, se resti con i piedi per terra :)

I vote for Cold War , a lot of soviet subs Oscar, Kilo, Golf, November, Ming, Akula, Typhon, Victor, and on the other side Los Angeles Seewolf... and a lot of MK 48
improved....:rock: :rock:

Why not the IJN???? Interesting stuff there, the Sen Toku I-400 class submersible aircraft carriers, the Kaiten suicide torpedos... would definately be different from anything I've ever seen in a sub sim anyway...
