SH4 ... what you think ?

Jmack · 08-23-06, 12:03 PM

your opinion people ... based on the interview and on the photos/trailer

Safe-Keeper · 08-23-06, 12:13 PM

No Jap subs? Dang

...

But then again, I suppose they can be added by modding!

What I really like is the enhanced radio system and the special missions. Let's get some commandos deployed, shall we

?

The terrain's looking sweet, too, and I'm curious to learn more about the "new editing options".

Agreed.

But I think we can start "polite" pushing for Japanese subs in the game, at least computer subs. Some American subs sank several Japanese subs in one patrol, and some American subs were lost to IJN subs, so I say to the dev team, come on guys, here's that last little feature. At least we not asking for a dynamic career!!

I'm for having IJN subs as computer controlled. I'm Clear the Bridge by O'Kane there was some concern about enemy subs and getting torpedoed. It would put an even more need on your watch crew on spotting incoming torpedos. It would also be fun to actually try to sink a Japanese sub before they dive.

The trailer had a quick shot of a plane in the air, and they said in the interview that major battles would be represented. That should include Coral Sea and Midway, and that means air battles; so you're wrong, they were mentioned.

Jmack · 08-23-06, 05:31 PM

well ... i didnt heard or read " air battles " ... and i saw no planes engaging each others but i must be wrong and SH4 must be perfect

the question that subsim made refered to "large scale naval battles" and in the reply the word " aircraft " doesnt appear ...

but i must be wrong and i really hope you are the owner of the supreme truth about this game

You're right, they don't mention 'air battles', but the trailer does show a plane being shot down. As I said, Midway is purely an air battle, and it's the most important battle of the war, so they should show it.

No need to get testy, and certainly no need to call me names (though I probably deserve it for other reasons).

THE_MASK · 08-24-06, 06:44 PM

Will definately upgrade my comp specs from 2.4gig .
Maybe buy a 19 inch LCD .
SH4 sounds and looks great overall from the little info so far .

So....you want as a US Sub Skipper to be sitting on your bridge, observing a major Air Battle? Watching carrier planes take off and land? Awesome Air Duels and Dogfights? While sipping coffee maybe?

Would a real US WWII Sub Skipper be watching all of that???

You need to get a Flight Sim......

Jmack · 08-23-06, 06:10 PM

i know my english is not perfect guys ... but i dint say i wanted to fly the damn planes !!!!
i just wanted them to fight each others since they are there so we could have a backround enviroment to complete the feeling of watching or participating in one of those .... AHH I GIVE UP ... what would i expect anyway ...

Jmack · 08-23-06, 06:18 PM

what the hell ???? why are you people so angry about ?????
for all it matters its a game and yes i would like to see a major battle in game with planes flying around and shooting at each others is it a sin ??? or something ????

and yes i hope everyone is right about SH4 and it will be the best ever and america rules !!!

everyone happy now ??? jesus !!!
