Meet the crew.

Thats coming when they produce the sequil

Silent Hunter 6 - The Musical - complete with singling dolphins and a boat load of American teenagers who board the sub to vote for a new high school president!

Honestly this is becoming more and more laughable with every new update

I'd pretty well decided not to buy the game, due to, well all the other stuff, but I take it back - its worth it for the giggle factor

Its so dam sad!

Well, folks wanted "The Das boot experience", and the dev's listened!

Silent Hunter 6 - The Musical

Half the work's already been done for them:

Actually, if they made that version, I'd probably buy it.

After that it's just a matter of asking the spirits to teleport you wherever you want to go and *poof* bob's yer uncle.

Ia! Ia! U-boat fhtagn!

I guess we cannot interact with the rest of the crew. However i find the crew ability,s interesting. Esspecially the cool but the XO seems to be his twin brother .

Triplets it looks like. The XO, Cook , and torpedo officer. Either that or all those Angle guys look alike.

Which one of the crew's got boobs - I missed that

I thought the inclusion of twins, please note on the web site Executive officer: Erich von Dobenecker and his not so academically able twin brother Olaf ‘Hackl’ Hackländer the Cook - their Mum must be so proud though when the boys grow up she's got a lot of explaining to do re their different last names.

This is descending into really high farce

The laughs just keep coming

I also like the way they are bringing the events of the war into the campaign, much like the supermods have done for SH3 and 4.

If it REALLY IS mod friendly then we should easily be able to eliminate the cheese, change the GUI, give it the thing a realism facelift, expand the campaign and eventually tease a decent sim out of it.

Shame UBI couldn't do that in the first place though, rather than wasting time, money and resources on this stupid idea that you can get more people into the SH series by sticking boobs on it.

A quality game attracts the masses every time....though admittedly boobs may get you a few flirt, or two.

Amidst the tears....

[rascal101]

Just took another look at the crew - turns out Erich and Olaf are related to Torpedo Officer: Kurt they are triplets -

Mind you that young Kurt boy he’s a bit of a boffin, he's got circle running torpedoes - the US tried desperately to stop this cos they proved to be a really potent weapon against .....the sub that fired them.

Perhaps clever Kurt has a solution

I guess nobody is skilled at repair?

[rascal101]

I cant even be bothered to write a post the titles says it all

Utterly ridiculous - to make this work the modders would have to mod the entire game and thats with the DRM

I shant be buying the game but I will loing in to subsim to watch the slow demise of a great series

[Hartmann]

What the ...

I can´t believe it
It remembers more Pirates of the Caribbean than SH series.

Out from the box the game is a totally arcade and unreal , how the hell a men can do a boat able to dive deeper ? and increase a torpedo power ?
It´s ridiculous, Chief engineer it´s like scotty from star trek,and they forget give to the navigator a teletransporter.

The problem could be solved by modding but a lot of people will buy the game and thinking that it´s real.

Ubi clearly is focusing to a new market , more RPG than a simulators.

don´t be surprised if you see speeds of 25 knts , atom torpedoes , deeps of 400 meters and magical soups
what next ?? ammo crates health packs and u-boat spare parts floating in the sea


ps:I wonder if radio man can keep alive my internet connection while playing

Have a look at the threads before you post. There is already a thread about this.

I don't think there can be any doubt about that whatsoever.
