If you're looking for SH4 multiplayer partners, that has never been popular, even a couple of years ago. I don't really know why, other than the single player aspect is so good.
I've noticed a whole bunch of new players around here and it's heartening. It looks like the failure of SH5 has caused many looking for a good sub simulator to take a good look at SH4. They won't be disappointed here.
I predict no more patches or updates for SH5. Ubi will not even talk about SH5 in the future. At some point they will, probably without announcement, shut off the servers and all those SH5 DVDs will just be bad drink coasters with a hole in the middle. I think it's dead, Jim. (as Bones would say to Captain Kirk)
However, Silent Hunter 4 stands triumphant, showing that Ubi was capable of producing something much better, but chose not to. SH4 is not without defects, but it plays magnificently!
