S-Class Sub To Be Included After All
 

The Dev team for SHIV has just announced on the official SHIII forum that they have decided to include the S Class sub in SHIV after all. However, they will not include the Narwhal class but I do understand their reasons behind that decision.:yep:

WOOHOO!!

I can understand about the three big boats. I would love to see them but they really didn't do much in the way of war patrols.

S-boat out of Cavite? WOOHOO!!!

Good call, Ubi'. The Type II, er, S-Class is a must:up:.

This makes me grin. Like :D this. :up:

I always liked the S-boats for some unknown reason.

The pig boat is In!:up::D:D:rock:

Will be great to start a campain with them! I wonder if I'll be able to be the S-44 when she sank a japanese cruiser!

Thankyou Devs!:yep:

I'm sure we'll be able to engage the enemy. That's why they have us there.:up: :rotfl:

To me this is a sign of that elusive player influence - it may not be as big as the dynamic campaign in SHIII, but it's great to hear that the devs listened about this one :D

Those old pig boats did good service
 

I'm amazed that some of these old, really WW1 boats all built before 1925, made as many as 7 war patrols and continued in combat till early 1944 before being withdrawn to training. It's shows how weak the force was in the first 2 years of the war, and how grim the situation, that these old boats stayed in the front line so long. Well done.

I wonder how long I can survive in one?:ping:

Why does the Narwhal class not fit into the gameplay (as the devs put it)?
:confused:

You can't keep an old antique down. :up:

They didn't have that greater impact on the japanese, I don't think they sank any shipping.

Perhaps not a huge impact but they definitely sank some Japanese shipping.

Excellent. I'm a big fan of S-44 personally, since she got the USN a little revenge after Savo Island - pretty amazing that a few dozen men on a single old sub did what about half a dozen heavy cruisers failed to do.

More importantly, it will be nice to have the "Type II-style" gaming experience live on with this class of sub. IMO it's a nice contrast in comparison to the big, modern fleet boats.

Now to complete the S-Boat experience we'll just have to play the sim locked in a unventilated room on a 90 degree day with 100 percent humidity. Perferably while not having bathed in a while. Mmmm. Somebody pass the lukewarm lemonade. :cool:

This is Great news!!! Thank You for the info!
