Silent Hunter
 

There is no SH3 vs SH4, U-boats versus Fleetboats, and there should NOT be. The two sides are so different they can co-exist peacefully in my heart and mind. But on the other hand they're so much the same but in a good way.



The add-on focuses on u-boats because we felt that we NEED to:

-allow u-boat campaigns on the superior engine that is SH4; Perfect engine? no! But at least its our current engine, not the old code in SH3.

-get more SH4 sales from people that simply would not buy SH4 without u-boats. Yes, money keeps SH franchise in the play and for the record pays for my bills.



In the end, remember that more stuff in SH4 is more stuff in SH4, not less. If you feel that the add-on is not interesting for you, well, not much we can do for now. Like any project, there are things you get to put in and things you don't.

We did NOT turn our attention away from the Pacific, we did NOT say "screw the Fleet boats, back to the Atlantic". Its something we needed to do.

Remember, a better world is a better world for all players in it. The current (1.4 +) technology in SH4 allows dynamic loading of ships, and the overall campaign and roster structure allows for unlimited ship types and textures without the hit in performance/loading you would get in SH3 or SH4 stock.

So, any new ship, any improved campaign layer, improves the world for everyone.

P.S. As you all know I'm not a marketing guy. This is not a nice comunique, and its not sweet talk, its straight of my chest. I love you all guys :) But you need to love each other too :p

I love my PK hehe.:p

Keep up the good work Dev’s and make some more add-ons would ya? This keeps the game alive for me and gives it a new life for us to enjoy. :up:

edit: ah thats better, just saw to many bad post this morning

Thanks Dan:up:

That's the kind of communication I can respect.

<S>

Yeah, thanks for setting the record straight Dan :up:

There is still huge potential for growth in the main Pacific Theatre, there is the add on that should eventually open up the entire Atlantic Theatre, so it is a great time to be into this stuff :D

The work of the devs has never been a issue Dan, you guys have done great work with the resources that you have been given :yep: I think the frustration is more with UBI, but at the end of the day life goes on right, and by folks supporting Silent Hunter no matter what the theatre, we stand a much better chance of seeing future projects.

That is a win-win for all of us here.

Silent Hunter is better than sex. (Almost)

Ooook....

I agree with reallydedpoet, my beef has always been with UBI and not the Devs.

Shame though your not in marketing, as i have not been able to find it on UBI's website, nor on Gamestop or EBGames. Heck, i even tried Walmart's site. No dice. It does seem popular on sites of "lesser legal standing" though. As a simple google search revealed. Ahh well, I'll check the stores on my way to work and see what they have or know.

I would like to make a request. For the next add-on(if), how about playable Japanese or British submarines. Heck, even Dutch submarines accomplished more in the Pacific than the Germans. http://www.dutchsubmarines.com/speci...tacks_wwii.htm
No more fantasy submarines like the Type XVIII. And yes, I know, they were laid down, but they were never completed. On second thought, maybe not, a Type XXIC would be nice. Nothing like having 18 torpedo tubes.

Thanks for providing us with what has turned into an excellent game.

Dan,

Thanks for the post! Its a great sim with a great future!

Ok, this guy is being paid by Ubisoft to do this. Bloody Marketing Guys I say let 'em walk the plank!:yep::lol::rotfl::arrgh!:

Support SH4 buy two copies of the Addon.:up:

Erm, can I have one please?:yep::lol:

Well, releasing this has deffinately worked to draw in the SH3 diehards. Despite the yummy engine that has been out for over a year! This SH4 section is now inundated with them, messing up cushions and leaving the windows open.

Your bunny better be good at doing the dishes :D

I could do without drooling, rabid u-boat fans for now. Wilma! Get me gun!:yep:

Brilliant post! Brilliant because it echoes my feelings exactly.:rotfl:

I loved AOD, and I loved Silent Hunter. I love SH3 and I know I'll love SH4 if I ever get my computer to where it can run it. I love ships, period. I agree that it's weird that every time a new game, fix, add-on or even mod comes out there are people on both 'sides' of the issue who cry that they've had enough of this or that and why don't the stupid dev's make what 'everybody' (read 'I') wants?

Me, I want it all. I've wanted to play SH4 ever since it was released, and I want to sea SH3's world with the better graphics and crew management. I suppose that by the time that happens there will be some new improvement, and once again the guys on the 'other side' can cry about how they're being cheated and it's not what the players really want.

Sorry to rant, but this pushed all the right buttons.

Decks awash
