Where's the fun in that though? The problem with modern day sub sims for me is that it's mostly a technological war where missiles are fired from hundreds of miles away. What I love about the Silent Hunter series is the fact that it really was a game of cat and mouse in WWII.

I'm with you on this.

The reason i've stayed away even from very good, very realistic and very immersive flight sims like Falcon 4.0 is simply because modern warfare technology makes games/simulators rather dull. The technology of modern warfare lacks the former aggression, skill and cunning that earlier techonology required form the operator. I'm very new to the sub sim world (only a few months) and I don't know how much WW1 subs had a part to play in combat but i imagine that it was alot more than anything post 1950.
Keep it in ye olde days. Let me line up my torpedoes and keep my fingers crossed waiting for the explosion. Far more fun than clickin on a map, launchin a nuke and waiting for the world to end.

Cold war 100%.

I also hope for a Jule Verne / Nautilus type of game, that is not for kiddies.

Something like Silent Hunter plus RPG elements plus searching treasures etc ..

Or wait .. a sailing / pirate game with this engine!
