So what got cut this time?

Kapitanleutnant · 04-12-10, 03:37 PM

A few months ago there was a very interesting topic listing all the features that had gradually been cut with each iteration of the SH series. Now that 5 is out out I'd be interested to see it updated for this new version.

Off the top of my head:

No KM grid map

No Type II, IX or XXI (XXI can possibly be excused by the complete lack of the last third of the war.)

1943-1945 (This is staying here until there's concrete information that an expansion will actually be released)

If anybody knows what that old thread was called I'd love to see it again. It was a good (if depressing) read.

Subnets
Minefields
Land units
Fishing vessels
MTBs

Seriously? Missing from the campaign or they just don't work anymore?

Both
Subnets,mines and Land units have files
No roster ones though and mines,subnets crash the ME when you add roster cfgs in
Land units show but you can showboat in front of them and they do nothing

No MTBs for any side and part of one fishing vessel is in the sea folder with most of the files missing

You're kidding? They FINALLY manage to get AI units to fire torpedoes and NOW they cut the MTBs? What the hell were they thinking!?

e: I just thought of some more - crew transfers, injuries and deaths.

MISSING! You need to get the game, dude to see what you're NOT missing! As mentioned, some of code is just scrap verbiage, partially eaten, not totally regurgitated (what's for supper anyway?)

Why yes Margret, I am an idiot.

My response to you, Ducimus, was not intended to be insulting. If it was interpreted that way, my sincere apologies.

Ducimus · 04-12-10, 05:43 PM

Apologies for what? It's not your fault I'm an idiot!

PPPpppppsssshhhhhtttt... If you're an idiot, Ducimus, what do you call TMO? The result of a thousand monkeys pounding away at a keyboard?

Back on topic: SH5 (I'm talking stock SH5, not modded) is missing:

A compass
An easy way to call for battle stations (running to one officer and declaring it in a dialog doesn't count, as far as I'm concerned)
"Destroyer on attack run!" - "Depth charges dropped!" (not sure if they were in an earlier version of SH, but I miss 'em regardless)
Asking the sonar guy for the closest target, closest warship, etc.

There's gotta be more...

* no more complete crew management.
* no more full crew.
* no more abilaty to give crew members medals when back from patrol (now you can only give officers a knight cross , and thats it)
* no more captains office.
* no more band playing when leaving/returning to port.
* no more dead crew members (and no more funeral at sea)
* no more crew replacements.
* no more life in the harbours (exepct the u-boat pen)
