I so wanna play SH in multiplayer, but not as it is now.

The MP is a joke right now, you start with a map where all players are just few km in front of a convoy, everybody start rushing on max speed and unload the torpedoes, in max 10 minutes it's all done. Not to mention that playin MP is almost impossible now when there are tons of mods that handle AI and the sub in very different ways.

Hope that some day SH can be played in a MMO style, or at least with more clever and better maps. This rush &hit style available now is just not fit SH.

I doubt it is a joke just because you don't like it. It seems that there are a few here that do play it and do enjoy it too.

Part of the reason that there is aggro in this forum is the whole "I don't like it therfore it's a joke" mentality.

Perhaps if we were a little more understanding of each other , and accept that we don't all like the same things - things would be a little easier in here.

You don't know what your talking about......

A smart pack (which I am in) shares the same mods, has open ended objective in custom maps and we dont go full speed in like morons. Stop complaining; make your own map, make some friends and get playing.

I'm really new to subsim and think my name is being linked to people i really dont want it too be. lots of subsim are friends and they have bulit a pretty solid community here but when friends dont like people from groups then u get backlash. If you had my point of view you might understand my post. lots of you guys do great work and keeping a site running is tough. If you think im the only multiplayer person out there that feels this way then your wrong. this is something i came to finally post today due to the last 2 years of multiplay. id bet anything that the posts in here against me are from singleplayer people only??.. lol. happy hunting.
I've done more than my share of MP and what's more I've not destroyed the MP community during the process or been banned from EVERY site I've joined.

So come on, you want people to join you so put up your contact details here.

I'm sure the MP community will appreciate it LOL

I must congratulate you on learning how to join Haiku together.

I'll also be having a word with Neal.

Bye for now Owner/Simba

He isn't Owner. He just got caught up in Comsubpac and was not aware of the political BS behind it. You guys (Jimbuna/JU-88) seem like your wounded for life over the things Owner did. Relax...... Its not Owner, you guys go take a break, go back to your SH3 forums, we have SH5 under control.....

Okay....if I've been too hasty and overly judgemental I'll apologise to killer Tube here and now in public.

BTW there is a lot more besides 'political BS' surrounding the aforementioned individual (and I'm not referring to KT neither).

...not sure as to what context your in there....but trust me....you are not alone on that score.

Yikes! My wife would kill me if I pulled a 12 hour SH binge... 2-3 hours is pretty much tops at one sitting (unless its the weekend of course) - Friday is often a very late almost all-nighter as it is!

If 8-hour multiplayer is enough, just look up to the sky:



Each one of those black dots is a player. Lots of 8 hour players right there (though some are TC).

I've worked as a controller and pilot on the VATSIM network a while ago.

KillerTube's post may have been a little OTT, but he's apologised for that and - hey! He has got people talking about multiplayer.

So I reckon we should cut him a little slack
