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

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.

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.

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.

TarJak · 01-15-10, 03:07 PM

Well if only the VII is modeled as playable in game then playing the Paukenschlag campaign will be a bit iffy!

Buggered if I want to get stuck halfway back across the Atlantic every time I pay the yanks a visit. The trip to Capetown or Argentina will also be a problem.

Schultz · 01-15-10, 03:41 PM

I would preffer more subs and highly detailed

Nisgeis · 01-15-10, 06:57 PM

I'm fine with a single sub, but I'd prefer more... so how do I vote?

Ducimus · 01-15-10, 08:04 PM

All im going to say is, If all you get is a type 7, then your patrol areas are going to be very limited.

finchOU · 01-15-10, 08:50 PM

I dont get it!!?!!??! why would you only be happy playing one sub...when you could have more? since you've had the option in the past? Its like a step back in time to want less. Kind of like Wolfpacks! hahah

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.

Sailor Steve · 01-16-10, 01:36 AM

What poll numbers? As I type this there are 138 members reading these forums, and in the many hours this has been up only 69 have voted so far.

Subsim has thousands of registered members, but not that many visit regularly and obviously a lot of the ones who do don't really care one way or the other. And the 500+ 'Stowaways' obviously can't be bothered, so they don't even count.

Who knows what the majority of people who will buy this really want?
