Hot dang, only 10:20 and I learned something new already:yep: I can quit thinking for the rest of the day:sunny:

Cold War, American Civil War... next there'll be calls for an SH4 port to the Boxer Rebellion.

How about WWI? Dubya Dubya Uno. The Great War! The first wide-scale effective use of the submarine as a weapon of war. How obvious is that? And how cool would that be?

Now I like Shells of Fury, limitations and all, but come on... a mod'ed SH4 would blow that out of the water (pardon the pun).

Given that folks are seriously trying to turn SH4 into something else by stretching it far beyond it's capabilities (as far as I can see), I just can't understand the lack of enthusiasm for this idea.

A really great place to visit if you've not done so. I've been numerous times. My oldest sons Scout troop went down for 2 days / 2 nights in February 2003 and we slept aboard Yorktown, that was a lot of fun. Sadly this was on the weekend that the space shuttle Columbia was lost on re-entry, sort of put a damper on an otherwise fun trip.

Exactly what I was trying to say. Cold War Mod? How exciting could that be? Lemmie see now multiple enemies I can destroy by just pushing this little button here when I'm using the can.:yep: This was the reason I stopped playing IL2: 1946. Just too fantastical for my tastes.

I agree... and it's strange that no one looks interested in making SH4 a WWI submarine simulator. That would be the easiest conversion of the ones that have been porposed...and probably the most exciting. :arrgh!:

And remember that in WWI the u boats performed better than WW2!

Guys,

I thought you might enjoy these renderings of the CSS Hunley and other ironclads. Now if there was only a way to import these models into Silent Hunter

I live in South Carolina and visit Charston 4-5 times a year and ALWAYS visit the Hunley..then the Yorktown/Clagmore... Its very much worth it!!!

Hey, Walt. Not every model can be incorporated into a game. If that sub is high poly then it may not be able to be played due to high res and high poly count. I had made a high-res model for an animation piece and it took at least 45 minutes to render on one frame and there were 200 frames to do. I quit the project before my PC blew up.
