Im sure once the modders have finished with this sim it will be stunning, as am sure it will be very enjoyable when we first get it.

I admit Ive done enough of my own moaning when it comes to Sh5, manly regarding a certain --- , But ive made my choice on that and am now looking to the future, NO SH5 is not going to be the perfect sim we have all wished for. Yes there are going to be errors, Yes there will be issues with crashes, as there is on every pc release out there. BUT I am certain that once it is modded, its going to be the best SH version we have ever have. But this time im not looking at it as a sub sim, Its a sub Captain sim, Hence different ways of doing stuff, and for that alone Im excited.

1) Compare stock SH3 to SH3 fully modded to nowdays mods.
2) Apply the same effect on SH5.

I rest my case.

OK better said than my long post, But Yes, Thats the point I was trying to make, Stock Sh3 was ok but Buggy, think we all can agree on that, Sh3 fully modded = WOW, Great sim

Stock Sh5 - Going to be buggy, but good, same as all pc games.
SH5 Fully modded = WOW Amazing sim.

Its gonna happen, Just going to take time. But when it does, Damn if its going to be worth the wait.

SH5 is almost as good as SH3 fully modded, as from what we saw so far. Great graphics, and less buggy then stock sh3 was.

SH5 after modded like SH3 was, there is really no comparison. Its just a whole new level of sim.

If sh5 is going to be greatly opened for modding like the devs said, there is virtually no limits on what we can do with it. We can actually make sh5 look better then sh6, way before its launched.

SH3: no DRM then - no DRM now
SHV: DRM now - DLC manager detected modified gamefiles - game stopped

cheers

And thats the exciting part. OK until we get our hands on it and see if they are telling the truth about the modding we wont know for certain. BUT if it can be modded, as a starting base Sh5 is going to be great. After our amazing modders do their magic, Well It just might, Just might end up as that Sim we dream about.

As I said in my first post, we are not ignoring the faults, we know they will be there and yes there may be problems for some. Now is the time for looking at the positives, and there are quite a few.

Yes there is that issue, BUT the programmers have told us all that this sim is more moddable than SH3 and 4, OK we wont know if they are telling the truth until we get it, But Im willing at the mo to be postive with SH5. By all means tell me in March I told you so, But hopefully it wont come to that, and we will all be pleasantly surprised.

[tommyk]

Yes, I hope they come to reason and use the resources to do a WORKING thing

1.) Build a content server
2.) Give the Modders access
3.) Have GWX SHV or such great MODs as DLC
4.) support your customers to the max!

Bind your customers with POSITIVE forces and NOT with restrictions!

Cowboy, maybe you could pull your head out of ubisofts hind end and think about this

February 2012:

"Ubisoft Management announces that they will no longer be providing free support for the playing of Silent Hunter V. For a small monthly fee, you may continue to play Silent Hunter V on a subsidiary's network servers or YOU MAY UPGRADE TO SILENT HUNTER VII for a one-time fee of $49.95. Ubisoft regrets this decision however current economic models prohibit the further continuance of player support directly from Ubisoft. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Thank you,
Ubisoft Management"

Thats it, you're done playing, unless, of course, you "pay to play".

If the gaming community allows this now, this is what they will be getting

Yes it did and no one saw it coming at the time.

These game publishers have some pretty slick/sick people working for them.

Yup, Starforce, version 3 or close to that I believe. People weren't very happy about that one either...

There's quite a bit of good info in the Community Q&A on the UBI forum. Old news for some, to be sure, but should be included.
