I really hope SHV has "Wolfpacks"

"Wolfpacks" are what Silent Hunter III lacked the most in my opinion.
You were all alone there in the middle of the atlantic against a convoy of 50 ships and 7 escorts.. unfair.. so unlike the real thing.

the next problem with sh3 was not being able to access the whole boat... but that now has been solved in the upcoming game

I think we would all love to see this in Silent Hunter 5, .. just like it was in aces of the deep.. the mother of all u-boat simulators

-peace-

Sorry. Pretty much everyone here knows exactly what wolfpacks were, and have been discussing them for months now.

Actually we've been discussing the lack of wolfpacks in SH3 since its release almost five years ago.

fixed your title typo lol

the way the devs reacted to requests for wolfpacks i think IF we see them they will be completely autonomus and nothing you interact with other than a possible AI activity kind of thing.

ps- the devs used the word IF when talking about them more than once so i wouldnt be surprised if they werent in the initial release but if its not then im hoping we see it added maybe as an expansion.

"I really hope SHV has "Torpedoes"" (damn it,.. i did not mean to write 'hole')

For those who don't know what torpedoes are.. they were long metal tubes full of explosives and a battery powered propeller, put together to sink ships.. a bit like an underwater missile..

This is what Silent Hunter III lacked the most in my opinion.

why make fun of the guys post? why not just throw a few laughing smileys like SS did or something?

the subject matter is something that anyone who knows anything about u-boats should know all about but he may not be a history buff

hes young and he could have come to silent hunter for the "game" and not be fully informed.

i laughed when i read the post too but i felt no need to make fun of the guys post.

I wasn't making fun, so much as I just thought it was funny. I apologise if you were offended Anton88.

haahhhahah

common, ShIII did not lack torpedoes

I was just pointing out that what silent hunter III lacked most was
a) wolfpacks
b) all compartments accessible and full crew
