start thinking on a new age

Hello guys,SH4 is almost out and sure it will bring us interesting moments.But,now seriously I think its time for Ubi developers to bring SH into a new dimension.
Imagine a post war base game,giving special atention to graphics quality,global representation,modern ports and naval bases,at least the most important ones on every continent. Concerning the subs,lets implement two,lets say an Skipjack and Alpha,but in a very very detailed way.Lets implement almost all 3d compartments,command room,officers room,sail,torpedo room,reactor control center.....etc. This way,once a base game is launched with that,more detailed units can follow,implementing the weapon-systems modernization, Sturgeon class,688,688i,Seawolf,Virginia, and SSBN classes,from both US and URSS,this for not talking about Royal Navy,French.....and so.

Personally, I enjoy the WWII theatre and would be quite content to see the SH4 engine evolve even further and then return back to the Atlantic theatre.

SH has always been during WWII and will probably continue to be that way. Besides this topic has been beat to death already:

Yeah, it would have something to do with DW, but much more graphicaly advanced (models, effects, textures, lightning) and more mod-friendly

Modern subs for the Silent Hunter series doesn't interest me at all. I kinda like DW, but I don't want to see DW in the Silent Hunter series. Just me, I guess....

I'm thinking the same, mate! As if you had read my mind!

I welcome any new subsim and setting, but why does it have to be Silent Hunter?

The series changed dev teams but stayed in the same period. I don't see why it has to go anywhere but that.

Also, I don't think there's real incentive. There is a LOT of WWII-related features that even SHIV doesn't hit on, and that a continuation of the series could implement. At the same time there is a solid base to build on. I just don't see why all of that needs to be discarded for starting from scratch - and make no mistake, something like that would be a start from scratch. There is so much different in modern sub warfare that the engine and developer experience from SHIII will be more or less useless for doing a game like that.
