On a ascending scale of 1 to 5 How important to you is it to have Wolf Packs in SH5 ?

Its a no brainer innit, (for me at least)
Not to be negative - but if enough folks vote the 'i dont care' option this poll could potententially do more harm than good.

I choose 50/50 because Wolfpacks are an must have, but! i will buy and (enjoy) the Game too, as it comes with or not.

I voted I'm not sure i'd buy the game without them for lack of a better awnser. I would actually bu the game without it. But on the other hand we have been asking for it since sh-2

An absolute must! They defined the whole Atlantic campaign since early 1942 and would add immense value to the game.

A.I. Wolfpacks would make an unacceptable drain on the computer's resources and drastically impact frame-rates. Sorry, but that's a fact.

My verdict is that Wolfpacks should only be available in Multi-player.

AI wolfpacks would add to the historical accuracy and realism of the game in the earlier war years. but after the passage of time, wolfpacks became almost non-existant.

I think it would be neat if it were included... but i disagree that the success of SHV depends on their inclusion. to me... its one of those things that would be cool... but not entirely necessary.

picture this...

you sight a convoy, and receive orders to hold fire for perhaps 3 or 4 days until other boats can join the fight.

i think a lot of average players wouldnt think that waiting game was a lot of fun.

I'm curious, how did you establish that fact?

I'm betting AI wolfpacks put no more of a drain on the computer than AI ships in a convoy.

Wolfpacks: Absolute must.

No that is not a 'fact' not even in the slightest, sorry 'General' but I'm afraid I have to say that i find your statement utterly absurd.

This 'fact' is based on what exactly?

karamazovnew · 09-21-09, 01:13 PM

A must, but I voted for 50/50... I'd really like to have them but I'll buy the game even if the devs decide against them.

An absolute must (Wolfpacks).....plus diving and torpedo firing AI subs for good measure.

Now if I were a gambling man

GoldenRivet · 09-21-09, 01:30 PM

diving and torpedo firing AI subs is a must.

as are torpedo launching torpedo boats... they have had a number of wasted opportunities against me.

This small pond they call the Atlantic looks like it's going to be a hornets nest at this rate.
