If it's going to be as user friendly to modders as has been suggested, I reckon there will be a few modders past and present who may well venture into the game to add a few 'improvements'.

Fingers crossed and all that.

I hope little kids dont start getting this game... and joining subsim from a link on SH5s site... I really dont want 10-13 year olds comeing on here saying stupid stuff like...:nope:

!!11 why are these stupid boats tossing these barrles at me!! They keep PWNING me!!!

I know I post alot... and am a pretty active member, sometimes act stupid, but in the name of SH3, atleast Im not that nerve racking...

That's a really sweeping judgement you've made there. We were all stupid kids once. I would like nothing more to see some teenagers get an interest in subsims.

I know... I am a teenager... Just the fact I have seen a forum go from a matureish place to a kiddy ride... In otherwords... It could turn into the general topics board... lol:rotfl2:

Well, I appreciate the candor from the devs, and of course thanks to Neal for setting that up and posting...

But I think it's now quite clear that "we" were not the target audience for this game.

Dan: It's a Type VII submarine. We think that we have modeled all the significant versions, meaning Type VIIA, which we didn't have before, Type VIIB, C, and C41. We think this time we went much deeper with the Type VII than we did before. For example, the Type VIIA didn't have reloadable torpedoes in the back, so with just one shot and you'd have to come back home to reload, and this is now done in the game and we corrected other little defects with the class.

well doesnt say they left out type 2/9

Yes, it does, when taken in the context of Neal's question:
Nothing vague about that at all.

BOHICA...

Yeah but horrific part is that some guys with day jobs, will have to:

Write 2 years worth of campaign files from scratch.
Create & kit bash some quality nurbs models of Types 2 & 9 (+interiors)
(No imported Sh3 meshes, as they will look possitively turd like, in the SHV world.)
Then there is the inplementation of all the upgrades and god knows what other hellish logistics.
Any takers? :down:

Sure its possible, but done properly its still a massively time consuming headache (of GWX 4-like proportions....):o

The Job of the modder is to paint the window frames and fix the guttering, (maybe build a plastic conservatory if he has time)
But this is like asking him to build another two floors and install the roofing.
You normally pay someone to do that :oops:

I think it's all brilliant! And a massive time sink....just hope more time is spent playing than mod.ding.:yep:

Upon finish there will be two Win Explorer popups. One will be linked to the future DLC's page but will crash on opening. The other will inform you that your PC is infected and will offer you to explore the koobface virus for free. :woot:

Even that is starting to look like it's scripted!:doh:

Unfortunatly, once you get into modding, it just doesn't work that way.

Yes, I was dreaming it would be this way ..... Shattered!!:cry:

Agreed. I've been on the fence for a while, but now I've decided to wait until it hits the budget bin or until a suitable expansion pack becomes available.

This means no SH5Cmdr--at least from me--but honestly, I know me better than anyone here and, despite the expected "don't judge it until you buy it because you're wrong" responses, I know enough now to know that it's not shaping up to be the type of game that I'll enjoy...at least cetainly not for the AU$90 list price that it carries here.

For me, viva la SH3/GWX!
