[Poll] SH5 & you - One sub or more?

Voted for several.

It can't be accurately described as a simulation without the player having access to each and every U-Boat that went to sea.

Being limited to a single playable type makes the game a FPS in water. I have no interest in that.

[Ship Hunter]

Voted also for several subs.

Just playing the Type VII is lame ^^

I like the IX and the Type II at the begin of the war very much, it's interesting to do the first missions with this small boat.

What I personally don't need is a Type XXI or Type XXIII Submarine - but the three "important" war Boats II, VII and IX are a MUST in a Submarine Game about the Kriegsmarine.

[TarJak]

Must have at least the Types II, VII, IX and XXI.

[Apos]

I hope Ubi wont suprise us with tons of DLCs...10 euro per each new sub/mission? No way!

Seeing as the Subsim new page has been updated to describe SH5 as a "Type VII U-boat interactive subsim" ( http://www.subsim.com/nucleus/index.php?blogid=4 ) then that's an ominous sign.

Say goodbye to Cape Town, Cape Hatteras and the Caribbean.

Several. Happy with a II, VII and IX...would be even happier if modders could add more types without needing to replace/fudge an existing u-boat type.

I'm starting to understand why everyone is worried about the game...

Imagine if there's no wolfpacks, only type VII without wolfpacks... that would be

Agreed, the type XXI can wait for a add-on or something.

For me, if having only one sub means that the 100% realism option nuts get a crazy good experience, then I'm fine, although I love the type II.

I mean, if instead of modeling a type II and type IX with interior, they spent that time on coding accurate engine management, sub controls, and a very detailed damage model with technically accurate flooding, I'd find that just plain awesome.

Now of course if there's just one playable sub with not so much perceived added value over several subs, well meh.

Btw I'm surprised by the results so far, I didn't expect the difference to be so sharp. If the "hearsay" is true, UBI might have used a poll about that 1 year ago

I'm 200% (to say the least ) sure that you Sir know what I meant.
Unlike the type XVIII Walter that never got a chance to sail as these boats were cancelled in favour of the XXI in 1944, quite a few XXI got commissioned - though I agree with you, none of them sunk significant tonnage, as most if not all were used as training boats until the end of the war.

Ain't happening-did you get a chance to view those screenies with the digital torpedo panel? Looks like I'll likely be taking a pass on this if these things I've been seeing are in (or, in the case of the other subs, not in) the intial release.

Agreed. I could somewhat understand only Type IX's with no wolfpacks, as those weren't wolfpack boats. But Type VII's with no wolfpacks? Not good. Not good at all.

[urfisch]

lol...whats this here? took some drinks at moe´s? you really thought there would be more than one sub to play with? no. there is only one sub, which also needs to be shared!!! only 50 players can play this at a time...all on their own station.

UHHGH!



yeah, got ya.

Another interview say ..."unlock new areas" ..could be milk cows in the way to far grids ,or a "warp drive" key ??.

If there is only a one submarine type i would continue with sh3 sh4 campaigns because i always use big boats , the same in the PTO , i don´t like to be limited to 14 torpedoes and 5 tubes, compared with 22 and 6 tubes.


i´m starting to be very worried . I hope that developers give to the community more fresh info, videos and screenshots. if they want to release it early in 2010 the game must be in a very advanced state or nearly finished.

perhaps the date is for a VII version only and the other boats come later in addons

Especialy after seeing these poll numbers, I think this is a question the devs need to address.
