Just thinking out loud, but, from the 'Sh5' thread and discussion from merging Sh3+Sh4, I started musing...

Heck, I'd pay monthly for an MMO of that title.

Could you imagine that? Playing Sh3, with Wolfpacks, but all the other U-Boats and US subs (ALL of them), are actually live people playing at that very moment?

That'd be freaking SWEET. Renown would have another whole meaning altogether. Yes, you'd still need it to buy upgrades, but it would be used as 'historically' - instead of any given upgrade costing "x" amount of renown every time, the U-Boat yard has "y" number of those upgrades available, and the sub skippers engage in a 'blind auction' with their renown to get them first. Ditto new subs, the best crew, etc.

An MMO of this genre would be AWESOME.

EDIT: See my post at the bottom of this page. I am NOT talking about "WoW with submarines". There is no reason for that. All I'm suggesting is expanding the multiplayer component already in the game. No 'grinding', no levelling at all. Same ships, same campaigns, etc. Just more people in at once.
