The last subsim ever?

They wouldn't like the idea, as they develop (last I heard) with SDL, a rather complex API for development which doesn't totally convince me as being the ideal. So I'd end doing my own sim.

Anyways, there are a lot of modders but, how many hardcore C++ programmers are out there? I'd say not many. Very few actually.

That might not be a bad idea... With good planning, programming can be simplified quite a lot. And I bet most here already have given up on eye-candy. An alternative would be for Ubi to open up the SH3 engine or even provide a SDK for it. That would be the day...

I doubt very much that Ubi is going to do that - they would be, in essence, creating an ATO competitor for Silent Hunter 5.

Are you serious?!
SH3 doesn't require me to pay more money or to get sat net for my laptop. It has more subs and longer and tougher career. In my book, Sh5 doesn't even compete with SH3.

There will be other subsims from other companies in the future.

But as far as this particular franchise goes, it's hard to see how it hasn't reached crush depth.

I think now would be a perfect time for a smaller studio to start a sub sim. Look at all of the disgruntled fanbase who would buy it, if for no other reason than to send a message to Ubi.
