I read in another forum where someone mentioned it would be nice to control a destroyer or other units. Well, I've always had this idea. How would you guys like a multiple ww2 themed online experience? Heres how it goes. Lets say youre online and you're controlling a sub, well the destroyer, he happens to be controlled by a human player at his computer, he chose allies. And they aircraft, there controlled by people too because this is a flight sim combined with the subsimn online. So all untis are human intellgence and not A.I.

I think that would be a very fun and addicting game.

It always amazes me how few people knew about that game, considering how popular MMO games are nowadays.

Yep, and it´s been around years now.

I did not know about that game, but i will look at it. Is it still played by many? :hmm:

No idea, I've only played the demo. It's very realistic and complicated, so it takes some to get into. And it's got its faults.

I'd like a type of MMO Sim which featured only naval warfare, no land battles. Maybe an idea for Silent Hunter V?

The game was in a total shambles when it came out and totally unplayable. Wasn't it free for 6 months or something because of all the bugs and unplayablity? There were much better MMORPGs out at the time, which is why it was totally forgotten by most players.

Actually, if they were going to make a MMO based on SH's engine, that would be pretty cool. One side could be Germany's U-boat fleet, with the other side being the Allies.

Well, no, scratch that- it would be fun for purists, boring for everyone else. With multiplayer, there wouldn't be any time-compression...I'm guessing most people would be afk while their boats voyage long expanses of the atlantic.

I envision a system where you plot your course, set a speed, and log off. Then when you encounter something, your computer alerts you (with a sound effect, a small pop-up in the lower-right corner, or even a generic SMS to your cell phone). Then all you have to do is stick within range of your computer, and you're fine.

Something like that
