Game until 1943 then an add-on ?
 

Hello.

I've been out of the website for some time, and I've been playing SH4 until now.

I have read that SH5 is coming, and campain will end in 1943.

I don't mind having just one sub until 1943 if quality is real good for the sub interior and design.

Do we know if the devs will release an add-on that would go from 1943 to 1945 based on another submarine, like a type IX for example ?

I bought SH4 and really liked the US campain. I then bought the German-sub expansion for SH4 and it's really nice. The type IX is a joy.

I would love to play on a type VII until 1943 and then be able to move to an expansion with the type IX to play until 1945.

What are your thoughts ?

It would be nice to be able to START the war in a Type IX, AND play til 1945.

There is talk, rumor and hints about an add-on, but nothing is set in stone as of yet.

i would say step back , wait till we get sh5 out and to a good standard patches and bug fixes first.

Nobody knows for sure about an add-on. Obviously the devs ran low on time, if the add-on is reasonably priced (like shivering isle for Oblivion) then I would definitely consider buying it... :hmmm:

Welcome Aboard Gllbou :salute:

Still a little early for an addon at this stage but still fun to discuss.:yep:

iam hoping that the game will be modded to end in 45, and an addon for ix and wolfpacks

I'd like an type IX add-on, but the fact is that we don't know how sh5 actually is, because it has not been released yet. I think it's a too early to think about add-ons..

I would bet one of the first mods enables you to take a VII past '43... :arrgh!:

To do this, you'd need a campaign past '43... which might prove finicky to script, given the completly new campaign engine

Could it be that the Type II & IX are in the game but as NPC subs,
For example, they had time to complete exterior models but not the interior?
Or maybe they at least have them half finnished?
I wonder.....:06:

The games ends in 1943...

When you and most of your crew are killed, and your boat sunk, in a freak air raid.

trough, it does get very hard in 43 and after, but thats when it gets really fun.
the first couple of years is a bit easy.:D

U-Boat Missions
 

If SH5 sells well, then I think they'll be an add-on like there was for SH4.

Type IX boats were very successful in the first years of the war,with more range, speed and ammo load , one sub can attack a convoy night after night.
Perhaps the most successful boat of the war

they are missing an important part of the u boat history ( about 200 boats builded)

a type VII is a very limited war machine compared with IX and American fleet boats
