I hear ya.
all we know at this point is the fact that the devs specifically stated
[indirect quote] "There will be AI U-boats. Wolfpack mechanics are under consideration. This is something we always wanted to include in SH5 but we want to make sure they are implemented properly. Though wolfpacks are a goal of ours, there is question as to whether or not they can be included before release date."
something like that.
i think it is a promising statement however i also think it shows how they are prioritizing other things for inclusion.
I think SH5 will be a highly successful addition to the series.
that said... the development history of SH2, SH3 and SH4 have all gone as follows
SH2 released! "Sweet! Wolfpacks??? No.. Ok its cool."
SH3 released! "Awesome game... there are wolfpacks now right? no? oh."
SH4 Released! "U-boat missions ad on!! yay! i bet we have wolfpacks now right? no? damn!"
Silent Hunter 5?
on the one hand i see a pattern here... on the other hand i know the ubi devs want to make the players happy.
if there are not wolf packs in SHV i wont shed a single tear... i promise.
but i also think not including wolfpacks or in the very least... AI boats.. would be the one black mark on SH5 right out of the box.
