If you are talking about the conflict between Japan and the Allies, I must say that it was predominantly in the nothern Pacific.
I have some pics to show about ice and snow:

Snowfall at Japan, data from yesterday.

Also, Japan in winter, with snow of course:

Consider this; if you play american surely you will stalk the japanese shore.

This is a global simulator, where passion for details and duplication of every environment is a must.
Do you remember your first impression about the images when you purchased this game ... ---> :o :o :o :o :o The graphics were amazing.

So, this is only one of the reasons this simulator should include snow and ice.

A particular desire.

DEVs can you program the graphic engine with Open GL?
Because DirectX ... :roll: :shifty:

Well, you already know which one is the point. :|\

Not true. The most exstensive theatres of operations for WWII submarines were Indochina, the Mid-Pacific, and the South China Sea. The Kuril Islands and Alaskan theatres to which you refer were only held sparse operations and generally in '42-'43.


Furthermore, the pictures you are citing are (1) from an abnormally active winter and (2) shows snowfall not in excess of 15 centimeters. Also, do remember that Japan is not flat, and unless one is conducting torpedo engagements on the slopes of Mount Fuji, he is not going to see the type of snowfall you are seeing, especially in your fourth picture.

:roll: My dear friend, the point is:
That means that you had already dismissed the posibility of snow in this simulator.
If you prefer to play in the tropics, good for you, it is your option.
But it is not a valid option for the rest of us.

By the way. The pics posted by me have the solely intention, to show that we can find snow and ice in a pacific campaign, and not only on the mountains.
You know, an image worth a million words.
I think you are focusing in a secondary target (tropical pacific) because you want to be right.

I suggest you to read very carefully my precedent post.
If after that you understand the same, my recomendation for you would be to take some grammar course to analyze the meaning. :-j

all of the above plus NO starforce!!

No Starforce ?Why ? What is wrong with it ?

a simple wishlist :

-make it possible to use campaign and ship models from sh3 with the improved engine that will be used for sh4 so we can have both cakes
-a working logbook :damn:
-find a decent alternative to starforce

I had most fun with observation and targetting in SH3. I really wish they would make a really solid manual targetting system this time, where you can take plottings on the map, use sliders and rulers and all that which was modded into SH3. To me, that was really great part of the game.

In SH3 it was pretty hard to do fast plotting due to the inadequate design of manual targetting. It wouldn't require much to make it work in SH4 I hope. All you need is some commands for you to call out a plot current position on map.

my 2 cents:

-new graphic (and dynamics) engine.
-Ability to command either Japanese, US, and if possible German sides.
-More modability.
-Full modeled sub interiors.

ships that stop or return for survivors and maybe and american version "wolfpacks".

...all, excellent points. Lets not forget some of the USN Submarine battles were also fought in the Alleutian Islands during winter
