I could do without drooling, rabid u-boat fans for now. Wilma! Get me gun!

Brilliant post! Brilliant because it echoes my feelings exactly.:rotfl:

I loved AOD, and I loved Silent Hunter. I love SH3 and I know I'll love SH4 if I ever get my computer to where it can run it. I love ships, period. I agree that it's weird that every time a new game, fix, add-on or even mod comes out there are people on both 'sides' of the issue who cry that they've had enough of this or that and why don't the stupid dev's make what 'everybody' (read 'I') wants?

Me, I want it all. I've wanted to play SH4 ever since it was released, and I want to sea SH3's world with the better graphics and crew management. I suppose that by the time that happens there will be some new improvement, and once again the guys on the 'other side' can cry about how they're being cheated and it's not what the players really want.

Sorry to rant, but this pushed all the right buttons.

Now, isn't this a little bit insulting, or even flaming, AkbarGulag?

Same here:

Guys, keep it polite! This isn't the place for insults between members. I can't remember any SH3 fan insulting the players of SH4. On the other hand, there's plenty of insulting posts from SH4 fans against people playing SH3. Not nice!

DavyJonesFootlocker · 02-28-08, 02:24 PM

In defence of AkbarGulag he isn't flaming anyone. Yer hear?

My post was meant to be a joke...not a very good one though. My take is that if you have a sim that reflects naval warfare in the pacific what the hell has u-boats got to do with that? Just go make another SH title for that!

Thanks. thanks for all the hard work and all the beautiful results
Silent Hunter is a Great Series.
ps. thanks to anyone who worked to fix the River Class Frigates.

I appreciate everyones work on the add-on and will install it as soon as the mods are compliant. I'm sure the U-Boats will be good for the sim but I do feel like the Fleetboats have been set aside for awhile.

I guess in the end I understand the reasons but it doesn't make it any easier, plus, I have a great sim as it is now.

Not at all Kylesplanet, you have Trigger Maru Overhaul, and the upcoming release of Real Fleet Boat. Both of these MODS do a lot for the Fleet Boats. Regardless of the U-Boat Addon being released or not, there are many dedicated modders still working hard to make this sim the best possible for the PTO fans!

Its a good time to be in SH4.

Happy Hunting

I should have been more clear, the modders here are the best and make our sim as great as it is, I was referring more to what Ubisoft might do in the future as far as add-ons and such, I know what will take center stage with them and it ain't Fleetboats. As I said before, the sim is wonderful and I can enjoy it for along time to come, especially with all the upcoming mods.

I think the addon is a very nice piece of work, and for a price that I smoke away in 2 days, I mean, lol. Sure there are things that could be better or you can discuss to lengths that Ubi should have included other content, or that you don't like uboats. What matters is, the title is alive and being further developed. Or would anyone rather see Ubi kill the franchise?

I for one, would like to hear somewhere this year plans are made for a SH5 due late 2009

Come one elanaiba, you know you want to!

Dan, you keep saying that there is a necessary simbiotic relationship between developers and game companies and some around here just have a medical need to hate Ubisoft. Their money made all this possible! I hope they realize now that the Silent Hunter series has lots of growth potential for years to come with a tremendous range for expansion. Developers and game companies perform completely different functions and both are necessary. If there were no money how would the developers live? So you guys have any idea what a leap of trust it was for Ubi to ditch the evil Sony disk copy protection? You have to support a company like that!

And finally, we players have a function, and that is to make the game company profitable by buying their products, communicating what we like and what we don't like (keeping in mind that we write because we mostly like what they are doing

), and letting our enthusiasm and knowledge gain new customers and retain old ones.

I'm happy. The expansion pack shows continued committment to the franchise. Let's buy it!
