Many people have posited that if there is a next installment of the series it should be the cold war. To my knowledge those boats did little but lurk about in the dephts spooking everyone.

Nah.

I say we return to the German U-boat...in 1914.

I have played shells of fury, and would very much like the u-boats of this period of time get the treatment that UBI gave The WWII U-boats, and American submarines.

More like SH3 though, with interactive crew, and more rooms, along with water spray that makes noise:-), Propper departure and arrival with waving crowds and so on.

It would probably be a much simpler game to make seeing as the only detection methods were eyes. No sonar until later in the war. No TDC, and very dumb torpedoes. Primative boats, and just about as primative surface vessles.

For those that didn't like simulating a soldier of the sea serving a ruthless and genocidal political party led by a madman, The WWI boats served your average everyday "king" who just wanted to take land. Also, the prize rules would make the game interesting. such as a U-boat spotting a target, surfacing, pointing it's gun at the ship, and ordering those aboard off before blowing it out of the water.

Plus the boats would be risky in themselves.

What do memebers here think of proposing this idea to the Devs?
