Game until 1943 then an add-on ?

Gilbou · 01-22-10, 09:28 PM

Hello.

I've been out of the website for some time, and I've been playing SH4 until now.

I have read that SH5 is coming, and campain will end in 1943.

I don't mind having just one sub until 1943 if quality is real good for the sub interior and design.

Do we know if the devs will release an add-on that would go from 1943 to 1945 based on another submarine, like a type IX for example ?

I bought SH4 and really liked the US campain. I then bought the German-sub expansion for SH4 and it's really nice. The type IX is a joy.

I would love to play on a type VII until 1943 and then be able to move to an expansion with the type IX to play until 1945.

What are your thoughts ?

It would be nice to be able to START the war in a Type IX, AND play til 1945.

There is talk, rumor and hints about an add-on, but nothing is set in stone as of yet.

i would say step back , wait till we get sh5 out and to a good standard patches and bug fixes first.

Nobody knows for sure about an add-on. Obviously the devs ran low on time, if the add-on is reasonably priced (like shivering isle for Oblivion) then I would definitely consider buying it...

Welcome Aboard Gllbou

Still a little early for an addon at this stage but still fun to discuss.

iam hoping that the game will be modded to end in 45, and an addon for ix and wolfpacks

I'd like an type IX add-on, but the fact is that we don't know how sh5 actually is, because it has not been released yet. I think it's a too early to think about add-ons..

I would bet one of the first mods enables you to take a VII past '43...

To do this, you'd need a campaign past '43... which might prove finicky to script, given the completly new campaign engine

Could it be that the Type II & IX are in the game but as NPC subs,
For example, they had time to complete exterior models but not the interior?
Or maybe they at least have them half finnished?
I wonder.....

When you and most of your crew are killed, and your boat sunk, in a freak air raid.

trough, it does get very hard in 43 and after, but thats when it gets really fun.
the first couple of years is a bit easy.

If SH5 sells well, then I think they'll be an add-on like there was for SH4.

Type IX boats were very successful in the first years of the war,with more range, speed and ammo load , one sub can attack a convoy night after night.
Perhaps the most successful boat of the war

they are missing an important part of the u boat history ( about 200 boats builded)

a type VII is a very limited war machine compared with IX and American fleet boats
