Hmm, maybe but I don;t want to have negative speculation. Maybe it was some sort of flooding status or something. In any case the player shouldn't be able to see that sort of thing, same with seeing the enemy los/ros. Hopefully it can be disabled in options or in a realistic difficulty setting.

I still worry, even if the health bar or whatever is turned off, won't the game mechanic be the same? I was hoping for a departure from the health "system" (two shot kill right?) and into a more dynamic, physics based system.

Ha! Mr Grumpy number 2! (Mark me down as number three - I was going to post a link to the other thread).
:rotfl2:

Well, here's a thought. We create a thread called 'New SH5 videos' and sticky it. That way, everyone knows where to look for this stuff going forward.

Right now, we have a cluster f**k of merged threads.

This was the first I have seen the video. :hmmm::O:

I think the real point is that if you visit here every day, then you are probably aware of where these merged posts are, but many like me don't visit here every day. I couldn't see any thread title that would lead me to believe that the video had already been posted, so I posted it. Mookie's thread must have been on page two before a new post put it back on page one. New SH5 In-game footage!!!

We need a sticky thread called something like 'Silent Hunter V new videos and screenshots'. That way, everyone knows where to put any new image or video of the upcoming game. :)

When I first saw this thread I thought "Don't people ever read these things?" But you're right - it wasn't stickied, and I do come here every single day and read every single thread, so what was obvious to me might easily have been missed by somebody else.

On the other hand, when something like this happens it's so much fun to join in the finger-jabbing and joking.

So, on the one hand I apologize, but on the other I still say :O:!

hey, cut him a little slack guys, we all make mistakes and TDK is certainly no noob so i think he deserves the benefit of doubt here and he wasnt trying to do anything but share info.


this forum is getting ready for the release of the sh5 game in only 12 short weeks and part of that preparation is to get back to the strict decission making about what is worthy of being stickied.

all of the stickies were cleared out to eliminate the BS threads and general discussion threads that were very popular along with anything old.

we wont be stickying anything anymore just based on its popularity so if it is something new that ubi released about the new sh5 game then it will be stickied for a week and then unstickied to stand on its own popularity.

the time for stickying just anything has past and threads will now stay or fade away based on their popularity alone.

Subsim's policy regarding sticky threads has always puzzled me. Not to have a sticky thread that shows people immediately where to put any new video footage or screenshots for SHV is madness and is just asking for this kind of chaos to repeat itself.

It's really not that big of a deal, but some folks here get so aggitated when a duplicate post is created....and the solution is so simple.

Some might say that the solution is to search thoroughly before posting. Personally, I will always scan page one of the Forum before posting something I think is new, but I'm not going further than that. And if that means that something gets posted that is already part of a merged thread with a title that may not even relate to the new subject matter then so be it.

Subsim's sticky policy is the real problem here. Common sense tells you that for the three or four months leading up to the release of any new game, a sticky thread dedicated to screenshots and videos is a must.

My two cents, Neal. :)

Agree with you - for the 2nd or 3rd time today.
Might as well delete my SS account as you seem to say everything thats on my mind, you psychic! :DL

Now for a U boat sim, why does it have pics of fleetboats...

Exactly how many hand do you have?

It looks like SHV will be game for casual players too. I hope diffiliculty and realism level will be adjustable. Those minimaps, HP bars etc don't looks promissing. Can we get TMO or GWX realism level to SHV instead of it? :)

Only two. I just flop back and forth a lot.
