nick.

ps: stop "stealing" my signatures people :x

you know who you are :shifty:, at least ask i would never say "no" :stare:

edit: just to avoid "miscomunications", i'm kidding

I love your sigs :D

If the missing U-boat types and the remainder of the war period are already planned or listed, how about a playable submarine from an Allied nation? :hmmm:

Now that would be really something else http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif

One option not in the poll was an Allied sub in the Med where they had not spectacular but certainly very important successes.

Another option missing is Brit/Dutch submarine campaign in the Pacific (a particular interest of mine).

From Wikipedia:

Quote:

British and Dutch submarine operations The British submarine force in the Far East was greatly expanded from August 1943. The British Eastern Fleet was responsible for submarine operations in the Bay of Bengal, Strait of Malacca as far as Singapore, and the western coast of Sumatra to the Equator. Few large Japanese cargo ships operated in this area, and the British submarines' main targets were small craft operating in inshore waters. The submarines were deployed to conduct reconnaissance, interdict Japanese supplies travelling to Burma, and attack U-boats operating from Penang. The Eastern Fleet's submarine force continued to expand during 1944, and by October 1944 had sunk a cruiser, three submarines, six small naval vessels, 40,000 tons of merchant ships, and nearly 100 small vessels.

The British submarine force expanded its areas of operation in the last months of the war. In late 1944, the Eighth Flotilla, with 11 British and Dutch submarines, was transferred to Fremantle and operated in the Java Sea and surrounding areas under the command of the U.S. Seventh Fleet. The Fourth Flotilla and the newly-formed Second Flotilla remained at Ceylon. By March 1945, British boats had gained control of the Strait of Malacca, preventing any supplies from reaching the Japanese forces in Burma by sea. By this time there were few large Japanese ships in the region, and the submarines mainly operated against small ships which they attacked with their deck guns. In April the Eighth Flotilla moved to Subic Bay in the Philippines and the Fourth Flotilla replaced it at Fremantle. At this time there were 38 British and Dutch submarines in the theatre, and an additional five boats on their way from Europe. Three British submarines (HMS Stonehenge, Stratagem, and Porpoise) were sunk by the Japanese during the war.

Beyond that I chose the top 2. 1943-45 and perhaps an II or IX would be all I'd want.

QFT

Sirs, with such opinions what may it proper, one did vote though.

Is there a mission builder and a spawn setup just like in SHIII?

I hope so!! :wah::wah: I have not heard any talking about this,maybe I'm the only one

that enjoys doing mission builder and spawning.

I am surprised that so few people want to see any other entertainment type than uboats. For modders it is easier to extend the campaign and add other submarines than such change war side (american / british sub) or add the game as escort vs submarienes, which can be created only by developers (need change game code).
:o

But now see what is main priority for gamers....
:rock::rock::rock:

It's not like they only want U-Boats, but since everyone here thinks the game is incomplete without the other sub Types and the remainder years of WW2, well, then there you have it. At first I also thought it was a major flaw, but the more I think about it, the more I think it won't be much of an obstacle, compared to other features.

Cheers :rock:

I want "hard core simulation":up:, not "game":down:!!!

All the above, but for now I'll settle for a "No-DRM" patch. :shifty:

all i want to see in the "imaginary" ad-on is sh6 the PTO side

this would mean sh5 is bug free and needs no more work

ya, i know its a pipe dream but isnt that what this whole thread is about?

I voted on:
1. More subs
2.Whole war
3.American campaign in the atlantic

Quote:

4) Campaign with American submarine on the Pacific
Advantages: Another front, another side, other tasks. An interesting game against the supremacy Japanese forces operating in the Pacific. Hunting for Japanese convoys and task forces. Possibility to expand game to a similar level like fighting uboats in the Atlantic.
Disadvantages: Scenario based on SH4. Complicated, interesting... but „all have already been".

To that I have to reply:
Yes, but SHIV was so screwed up that it's worth another try
4.Allied surface campaign
5.Axis surface campaign

Voted as below

More types of uboats, including midget submarines
Uboats campaign 'last years': 43-45
Allied submarine campaign in the Atlantic
Italian submarine campaign in the Mediterranean / Atlantic area

Obv want the IX etc and to play till 45
Also be good to play as a Br sub - they enjoyed a lot of success in the Med especially and other areas also
The Italians also sunk a far bit of tonnage in the Atlantic and the Med as well so wouldnt mind that option
