Now,following this project and counting that submarine simulators look to have quite a lot aceptation,what about to start working on a brand new SH5? A sub sim starting on the nuclear age,with the first nuclear powered submarines developed on the 60s.Of course,here we would not have big convoys to attack,but being alert and listening for surface units and other subs.For that,I would bet for the implementation of lets say 2 or 3 very detailed 3D subs from USN and another 2 or 3 from Soviet Navy,in order to be able to engage and underwater hunt on multiplayer sessions mainly.
Also,we could add to this sim the capability of early ballistic missile submarines,giving way to the player common sense,controlling such underwater power.

SHV, if it happens, should definitely be Cold War era.
I think the time frame should be more around the early 80's, with Sturgeon and LA class US subs and Alfa, Victor and Charlie class Soviet subs being modeled. Perhaps SSBN's as well, but I would be happy enough with what I have listed above. Dangerous Waters has done a spectacular job of creating a spot on hard core simulation, but what I and I think a good deal of the subsimming community really craves is a graphically immersive game with an easier to use interface like SH3.
For now though, bring on SHIV, and lets go hunting!
