Cold-War Era SH5

WWII is fun because the war is mostly mechanical, and ontop of that there is 'actual' conflict, not just 'possible' conflict.

I've played other modern sub sims, but you cant beat merchant convoys, battleships, inaccurate manual set devices and no satelites :P

WWI would be ok, but honestly, id rather see single player games become more like MMOs in terms of content, and be updated and added to, instead of whole new games. That way your favourite games keep getting bigger and better, instead of having to decide between versions.

I can't believe you people are forgetting the perfect era for SH5 in the Cold War.

Mid 1950s.

You got the Nautilus coming online in a few years; and both sides have evolved submarines utilizing all the experience gained from taking apart the Type XXI; the Soviets built 236 Whiskeys between 1949 and 1958.

Their mission was to sail and go into the North Atlantic and.......sink the massive NATO reinforcement convoys sailing from the US in case of WWIII.

What this gent said. A few smart people are calling this, and I think it would be great. Good mixture of diesel/electric and nuclear vessels. The Ruskies would be going after convoys, NATO after their fleets. etc etc
