How about some subs?

As part of the wish list for SHIV, how about adding Japanese subs to the mix? Nothing like leaving port and having to worry about getting torpedoed on your way to your patrol area, as in the book Run Silent, Run Deep.

The developers already said they wont be making japanese subs

That really makes me sad, the Japanese Navy had some pretty sweet looking subs in my opinion. And Run Silent, Run Deep is still one of my favorite books by far.

Where did you see this? I've only read that there won't be player controllable Japanese subs.

Hi,

@threadfin

.....
Subsim: Will Japanese subs be included?
SH4 Dev Team: With the current time for development we are not able to model Japanese subs, so we are very sorry to announce that this feature will not be available in the game.

.....

so i think, that's a conclusive no-go on the jap subs - as the topic starter was inferring!

Yeah, that does seem rather cut and dried. Thanks.

I still take that to mean player controlled. Modelling the exterior... they could ask kids on the forums to make it and have 100 excellent examples in under a week and we all know that.. modelling inside takes much much more effort. If modelling is the hold up, I take that to mean interiors.
