I'll stand by my 'never' and go a step further: This series is dead; there will never be another Silent Hunter.

I'm not going anywhere, and I still play the game (I like it, for that matter) so if I end up being wrong you can all quote and razz me at will.

Here is how I imagine the story:
Devs: Hi, we have some ideas about SH5
Ubi: Uhm.. frak SH, AC is the shiat
Devs: dude, we can make some money from it
Ubi: Sure you do! Frak SH
Devs: seriously dude, this will work...
Ubi: Really? Ok, here it is.. I give you a buck or two, will you give me more back?
Devs: yeah.. *mumbling* the modders will finish the game...
Ubi: k, here is your budget and time frame, dont frak this up!
Devs: ....

Community

Now, what I really like in SH5 is the "back to roots" feeling what I never had before. Im not using and I will never use TDW UI or any automation mod. Instead Im going for the rogue feeling of a broken boat. Where you have to struggle really hard to accomplish something, is what I think that those guys in ww2 did. Dud torpedoes and ammo, wrong coordinates for convoys.. is like the real deal for politics ruled by amateurs.

I would prefer an expansion with the IXC IXD2 and XXI boats where 1943 onwards we get to use IXC and IXD2 - XXI available near end of the war.

To be honest, if UBI has abandoned SH its not that much of a bad thing..

There is always a way..
http://dangerdeep.sourceforge.net/
Open source U-boat sim.. this means we could mould it to how we want..

As they say. if you want somthing done right do it yourself..
