SH5 Patch #3 wishlist

[SubV]

I think it's time to start this thread, since the game is still unfinished after patch 1.2.0.

Maybe now they'll listen to our wishes, who knows?

• ability to import models from SH3/4
• minefields and subnets
• ground installations (guns and searchlghts)
• AI tweaking (DDs and planes)

* bring back the band at port
* fix the dissapearing piers at port
* Bring back original crew management
* realistic crash dive times
* no more aircraft at night early in the war
* FIX THE AI !!! fix aircraft that ignore the player , fix the AI overall.
* no more fair cloathing in storm. Give us oil skins and rain hats (like promised but later dropped)
* Adverserial mulit play option destroyer versus u-boat . (this was in sh-4 but not in sh-5
* Light houses near coast that actually emit light. (this could be done by the ships search light)
* More radio traffix
* PLEASE ACTUALLY FIX WHAT YOU CLAIMED IS FIXED IN THE README!
* clickable instruments in interieur , TDC , Depth gauges etc etc.
* give us crew that can die
* u-boat pennats and flags.
* fix the mysterious destoyer that follows you whereever you go when sending a message to bdu
* fix the duds option its simply is still broken (and yes i ticked it)
* put some crew on AI u-boats.
* fix the damage model (still broken)
* fix the torpedo tubes (first they would not close , now they wont open. this was supposed to be fixed with the last patch)
*crew members still on the conning tower when submerged (supposed to be fixed with last patch)
* bring back life boats (why delete them in the first place? i thought sh-5 was based on sh-4 engine)
*better AI for ASW
* fix the laser guided deck guns on AI ships.
I could go on forever but this is what i came up with from the top of my mind.

Everything stated, including, fixing the stupid way the engine change sounds with power setting.

Don't shoot me

But is there going to be another patch ?

(have they done a patch-roadmap or alike then ? )

Cheers

Based on consumer law in Germany a manufacturer must try at least three times to fix a defective product

'TRY' being the key word here.
I "tried" jumping over the Grand Canyon 3 times!
I just couldn't bring myself to actually leap!

Yes, hear hear on that! It cant be that difficult to fix either, at least no more than anything else.
Sh3 had it right, even those before it. But I have been wondering if it's the sound file itself, or the programming thats using it. I've wondered if I simply replaced it with the one from SH3 if it would work right.

Im beginning to think that it's their testers as much at fault here. They simply aren't reporting accuately and consisely and are obviously are just "gamers" and not subsimmers as such and just too young to know any better.

WE are their testers

[SabreHawk]

Well they do have their own paid testers, and it seems they are the ones that the devs are going by, and not us here.
But I can see why too, there's just too much muck and slime to read through to get to what we want and have reported.
It's much easier to listen to what their own in house testers have to say than sift though the thousands of post's here.

If we could be more calm and collected, and politely without insulting them to death and accuately report our findings they might well be able to listen.
But to get infromation here these days is like trying to hear a symphony play whilst having a loud and obnoxious rap star yelling all sorts of negative ranting over it.

• ability to import models from SH3/4

You can do that now after the patch but with everything half assed that the devs release they dont work properly
No bow wakes and cant be added in simply - can be done
Torps hit but DG shells go right through
Zones all need reworking
No reflections
Ships all sail bow down



To name but a few

As for the rest of your list you have 2 hopes
No hope and Bob Hope
and hes long since departed

Meh

[mobucks]

i lold at the bob hope thing... ima use that as soon as the opportunity arises... thanks!

You'll all get your patch soon. 1.5 @ $9.99 a download.

Just keep bending over.

As others have commented, what makes you think there will be another patch? How many times can they try and fix a broken game? IF they looked at the forums, they would realise that LOTS needs fixing and have hardly dented the sides. IMHO they have torpedoed (least this has scored a hit) SH5 by not patching what WE the consumers have asked for to make it a palyable game, MODS cannot totally fix this game

[BigBANGtheory]

I think the best way forward is:

1.The community to create a generic wish list.

2. Forum mods + experienced members to filter and consolidte the feedback into a 'sensible list' (removing all the drama comments).

3. Have the modding community pull the 'sensible list' apart to decide what can/can't be done.

4. What can't be done in the opinion of the mod community forms the next patch wish list.

Then someone in the know needs to have some kind of dialog with the devs to see what happens next, even an answer of NO is better than no information at all atleast you know where you stand then.

Sad thing is, I'd go for that, as long as the patch brought improvement.

My way of thinking: I spend a lot of time on SH. An extra $10 divided by a lot of hours is very little.

I can blow $10 easily on my other hobbies... a gallon of glow fuel for my radio controlled aircraft can cost $20-$30 (it lasts a month or so, the way I fly). I can blow through a good ebook in a couple days (~$6-$8). If I bring the wife to dinner to a decent restaurant instead of Wendy's or eating at home... there goes a lot more than $10 for a couple hours of "entertainment" ( Get your mind out of the gutter. We're married... that doesn't happen any more ).

I know that little phrase about throwing good money after bad, but if I knew that spending an extra $10 would bring more fixes to SH5, I'd pony up in a NYC minute.
