Sub Types
I would like to see all types of US subs:
S-Class:
S-1; S-12; S-42 e S-48.
Barracuda;Argonaut;Narwhal;Dolphin;Chachalot;
P-Class:
P-1; P-3; P-5.
Salmon-;Sargo;Tambor;Gar;Gato;Balao and Tench
British S-Class and T-Class/ Group 2 would be welcome, and Dutch too, like the O12;O16;O19 (mine-layer) and O21.
The Kaidai types (KD3-KD4-KD5-KD& and KD7); Junsen and 'C'types of Japanese navy would add a nice touch in the game, but it would be feasible?
I think Silent Hunter IV would be able to make a new path in the game if, like Flight Simulator, give the chance to the community to make new models in order to enhance the game.
In the base models, they only made some types by nation, and take care of other things of real importance such as:
- outfit of ship (spare parts, water and petrol supplies, fresh provisions, munitions);
- net and gross wheight;
- a good fatigue model with random impossibility recoveries by illness and a possibily death by accident;
- engine/radio/radar/rudder/dive planes/manometers and other paraphernalia breakdowns;
- damages only repairable at base or by friend vessel;
- coded messages;
- radio operational with chances of tune in civil radio stations (music and news) and pick other comunications (civilian and war boats) in other languages and codes too;
- morse code between boats by light;
- flag codes between boats;
- chances of asking rescue boats and rescue rafts;
- standard sea routes(chance of make our own routes and save them permanently);
- Crew's quaters, crew's mess and officers quarter's & mess interacting with the fatigue and moral model;
- All possible crew on deck to rest when fatigue is too high;
- Differente tasks to perform during a campaign, and not only 24 hours survey grid (escort/deploy/rescue/and so on);
- Milk cows;
- Stations operating with minimum possible crew or without none (high chances of malfunction);
- Enlisted rates not only petty-officers;
- Ship's cook (we all need to eat)
- Realistic depths and a good weather machine;
- Possibility of make desired depth, direction an velocity in increments of one feet, degree+minute and knot;
- Real search capabilities of DD and other vessels (pls no 360ยบ capability);
- Depth charges blowing separately and in diverse depths with the respective results in the sub;
- Table of sunset and sundown time and meteoroligical bulletins possible when available;
- Much better sound effects;
- Real command voices and confirmation;
- Better log-book w/ possibility of notes added by the commander;
- Rusty and damaged skins aged by use;
That's all folks!
