Hello All.

Boy, am I looking forward to this. Ever since GATO I have been waiting for a completely detailed interior of a submarine!

By the way, if they include the interior in its current state, then I don't think that it would be such a ressource hog. If you compare it to other games it is really not that detailed. But some modders will hopefully be able to crank the level of detail up.

It looks that good actually that I will be heading to the GamesCom in Cologne tomorrow. I currently have a project nearby anyways and maybe they can provide some more details at the UbiSoft booth.

And Ubisoft, give the developers some extra time to develop the game nicely!

Cheers

Kai

We want a full report when you get back! :salute:

Sounds great ! always ready for duty :salute: can't wait for SH 5 but what about the PC reqirements ? I think we need a Deep blue for SH 5 :)

Hm. So far I'm not impressed. First person view is not what I'm looking for in a sim and I'm wondering what else is new that I haven't already seen in the previous 4 games.

What's more important (to me), though, is that I still haven't forgotten what a bugfest SH IV was when released, and that Ubisoft practically made us beg them to fix it.
Haven't bought a Ubisoft title since. They'll have to do better this time before I'm even considering spending good money on this one.

Well, if it's anything like SH3, you can try playing in German and keep subtitles in English.

Oh come on, cut them a little slack. The announcement has just been made public and judgement calls are already flavour of the month.

Wait until a bit more information has been released before making said judgement call.

Feel free to bite me....even if just to change that compromising avatar :DL:03:

Oh, I'll cut the developers all the slack they need and see what SH-V has to offer. My beef is really with Ubisoft.
You're very much right about the avatar, though. Ouch. This is indeed much, much better!

Please get up to speed on this, there's a German language version of the trailer online if you bothered to look further than the end of your nose...

You forgot to post the link to that german trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swroLdXrxxA

Ok they speak german. But one thing I still dont like in any version Silent Hunter is the lack of emphasis. The speakers almost sound bored.
Everyone who has seen Das Boot knows it should not just be "Alarm." Of course it should be: "ALAAAAARMMM!!!!"

I mean U-boat-wise. U-boats boarded ships in WW1. In WW2 they boarded ships in the first year or so when they had reason to, but as the environment got more deadly with threats from the air and from the merchant ships themselves, the U-boats couldn't afford to stick around long enough to do it anymore.

Raiders, of course, boarded ships all the time in both world wars. They usually had the firepower that allowed them to do it. U-boats did not - not after merchant ships started arming themselves.

Subtitles, PAH! Subtitles are for wimps.

And for us hard-of-hearing skippers. :DL

exactly... you're not playing full realism until you learn German and turn the subtitles off... there should be a realism percentage penalty for turning the subtitles off :D

I hope that there will be a good german translation for the game - this would add a lot of immersion to the game in my opinion.

Cool
