I was just about to point that out. Love TMO even tho at first I didn't play the PTO for the same type of political and historical reasons why Dulcimus doesn't want to play the ATO (not that I'm comparing the WW2 US side with the Axis... god no
). Plus, on this thread he only replied to my "
I don't understand why you guys use Das Boot as a warning sign" question. And I agree completely with his answer and especially his post about how working on a big project goes.
But what I can remind to both him and JScones is that making wolfpacks and torpedo shooting PT boats doesn't involve the entire dev team. By the time the demo was showed, the game was pretty much complete. Now part of the team works on polishing up the game, doing things that they know they can finish such as flooding, regardless of what we spam or ask on this forum. The other part has the unfortunate task of implementing NEW things on this last stretch before release. Just that we now get confirmation of eye-candy features doesn't mean that the devs have been wasting time
, or that time could've been better spent. As a side note, those PT boats annoy me as hell already. Giving them torpedoes would turn them into the Cliff Racers of Morrowind.
This new SH5 section of the forum has been lots of fun in the beginning, I was literally glued to the screen, but rapidly went sour after the Subsim Meeting. New info is scarce, new demands are pointless and rants pick off poor Markus's soup way too often. As far as I'm concerned, the direction of the game has been already set in place a long time ago, and as I've said, I'm happy with it and can't wait to see the finished game. And the rest is modding, which I hope Dulcimus will get involved in (even though he doesn't want to play, he can still make life hard for us Nazies by modding the US fleet)
