"it will require much less babysitting...three watches system...Special objectives, events and many little (or not quite so little) things...lifeguard duty and photo recon missions...will not be the only special missions...commando insertions...supply drops...more varied patrol objectives...constant interaction with COMSUBPAC...All the major battles in pacific theater of operations will be represented..."

well ... no one mentions the naval air battles or the variety of planes you will see ...
and that was a big part of the pacific war and it must be a big part of SH4 .

will we be able to see planes engaging each others ?

i know sh4 is in a very early stage of development but ... i was hoping for a bit more info ...

Dogfights would be so awesome, so I hope so.

You already have bombers' gun turrets machine-gunning fighters in Silent Hunter III, so it wouldn't surprise me.

Looking forward to seeing Pearl Harbour in all its Silent Hunter glory

Nice start on the info front.

Excellent reading and information! It seems that they will touch base with most of all the requests that have been posted! I realize that some requests must be left on "shore" as there is only so much space to use the create a sim such as SH4, however I am disapointed/concerned that there will only be compartments within the sub as in SH3. They feel that the compartments that the Captain needs to be in control of, during the attack, are most important. I must agree, however if my memory serves me correctly SH3 has very little in the way of Conning Tower graphics with no men included. If any place in a US boat held the center "heart beat" of the sub during attack, where the Captain stood and with his team took the neccessary actions to the fireing point, was in the conning tower with the control room following orders he "sends down". I hope that that is taken under consideration!

Otherwise full speed ahead!!!!

Happy Hunting!

Codefool, don't feel bad, there are many in the same boat as you, tho some don't want to admit it. My computer took a hard hit from SF. And then there are some that never had problems so they say. I just hope they never do... then they won't have to hear "You were warned by us that did have problems but wouldn't listen to us. Now the last laugh is on you".

Yes, StarForce will not be in the new Ubi games/sims, as said by Ubi. But from what I've been told by those that do know, the new copy protection being used is just as bad if not worse than SF. And it could even be SF under a new name. There are people looking into that right now.
