Do you seriously expect such a huge change done to an already published Ubisoft game? I mean guys... they didn't even implement an automatic Estimated Navigation option. :haha:

Maybe, MAYBE in the future, people like Oleg will create a persistent online Storm of War universe with aircraft and ships (and subs). But we'll all be spending 100% of our time playing X-Plane 10 with a full VR helmet by then...

Yeah, I don't expect that from Ubi. But who knows, maybe some day a pro gaming company will take over SH or create a new sub sim. At least I/we can dream about it :cool:

The idea of the entire thread was to just daydream about the possibilities.

Perhaps my title was wrong. It mentions SH5. Maybe SH42?

Would have to be expanded to include all sorts of platforms as well-warships and planes natch. But yes it would be a logistical nightmare to run-either you get Warp Drive Time Compression Engines, a reasonably historically-sized but massively boring real time map, or a tiny and bowdlerized map which allows for plenty of "action" but no real strategy or manuever. Navyfield, perhaps wisely, decided to focus strictly on the tactical side of things, for good or bad.

yes...familiar...VERY familiar!

OK! If this happens can I be the one who gets to scream, "EXTREME SPEED AHEAD" and, "BE MORE AGGRESSIVE?" If no one's got dibs, ME, ME, ME! (being part of Dieter's execution squad would be cool, too)

At least let me stand behind you during the Dieter execution, Mcarlsonus :woot:
Additionally, I hope I didn't come off as trying to kick anyone's teeth in McHub...
Everyone's wound up pretty tight lately with DRM and then a buggy product and then a delayed patch...These forums have been pretty atypically harsh as of late. Your ideas are great, it's great that you're always thinking and having ideas that you share with everyone here. So just to clarify my response to you earlier, I agree with your base idea here. Only the three letters, "M-M-and O" give me pause.
Multi-user submarines = :up:
Cheers, brothers.

No prob West... manly hugs all around. :)
