/facepalm :nope:

That's disappointing, and a little worrying.

They didnt said anything about submarine control on full realism......are ballast tanks seperately and individualy controled fully by player, also the dive planes control and bunch of this minor things that were automaticaly controled in sh3 and sh4......it would be a fun and challenging for real "Herr Kaleuns" players

"Real" captains didn't control ballast tanks or dive planes.

What would be fun (in my book) would be a real simulation where the captain issued the orders and the crew carries them out. Need to crash dive? You issue the order and you hear the order repeated back , then you hear the Chief issue the correct commands to the crew and hear these repeated back. Once you are safe you issue the order to come to periscope depth and hear the order repeated back and then the correct proceedures for coming up to PD.

If you are attacking a target you get the bearing and call it out and that is what is plotted on the map and entered into the TDC..\ You get the range and the crew enters that data. You decide the torpedo setting and issue the command and the crew carries it out.

That would be realism. The captain running around checking the hydrophones, entering the TDC data and manning the dive planes is about as far from "realism" as you can get.

I know the entire procedure too, but it would be interesting leave the option for manual control, and that "repeated orders from XO" that is what i also hoping that they will include for example ("ja voll her kaleun, zehroetiefe, heck tauchklappen 15 grad . . . .") and also option for individualy control left and right engine (to have option to stop single engine) that would be more useful when manovering underwater (what was done in real life in ww2)

Well said:salute: I for one will not rush out and buy it,fingers got burnt with sh4. Ill stick to GWX GOLD:up:

Good interview. Still on the fence though. Eye candy is nice, but would trade it for many other things. I love the type VII, but NO other sub types? Ugh.

Glad I still love SH III. Not even remotely bored with it and it's been how many years now?

CptCrunch 01-26-10 05:53 AM

Too much Bitchin' :)
 
Well talk about prejudging a release!!!
SH5 "Its gonna be crap","I wont buy it","Does it have this?","Does it have that?"
Hey guess what? Get a life - We'll find out when it comes out!
I'm sure that when it does there will be plenty to get our teeth into whether it's playing, modding or hand wringing about historical inaccuracies.
In the meantime all this pre-judgment and sometimes hysterical speculation is so pointless and quite frankly dull to the point of excruciation.
Ubisoft have released a few pointers and facts to titillate (us) their potential user base - duh!,who wouldn't?
Presumably they are hoping to work us all into a frenzy so that we dish out our hard earned wonga for SH5 like thoughtless automatons.
Guess what? - I will anyway because I want to support the work of Subsims and the SH series is in my view the best by far.
So in the meantime I'm going to shut up and enjoy GWX3 gold. :D

spiksy 01-26-10 07:26 AM

so that is what is all about......moding

ubi dev team no longer makes a good u-boat simulation like SH2 and SH3 for its itme

now it is about "here we will make SH5 in short time, we will finish like 50% of the game with thousands of bugs and glitches and release it because lack of time and you modders from subsim can make a 1-2 gb bunch of mods to finaly make the game COMPLETE what was actualy the ubi dev. team job to do!


great and then they gonna release 5-6 patches for every single bug and after that they gonna release the Add-on with another 1001 bugs

UBISOFT SHOULD TAKE OUR MODDERS FOR THE MASTER DEV. TEAM CUZ GWX 3.0 FOR SH3 WAS MASTERWORK

Uber Gruber 01-26-10 08:36 AM

Can you imagine being on a real U-boat with some of these guys as crew? :hmmm:

"Hey, Johan, where is that dripping coming from?"

"Dripping? Water? OMG, we are sinking! Everyone, we are sinking! The boat is doomed, the leak is scripted, it's bee-yoo-tiful but that's just eye candy, we're all gonna dieeeee!"

:haha:

Talk about immersion! *rim shot*

Danji 01-26-10 08:58 AM

:haha: yeah! we'd all be doomed.

at least that kind of people can hit a ship with the settings turned to realistic. i can do it too.. if the planets align.
