Some gameplay for you

Technically speaking, Alpha is the point at which new features are being added, whereas Beta is when you're just fixing bugs/balancing. So a beta's working gameplay is actually a very good indicator of the final product.

Well, thanks much for making the effort to post that. As some others have said, this is not for me. The freedom of movment and decision making, the "open-ended" nature of properly designed simulations is what I enjoy most, and obiously SHO ain't got it.

I know i know, beta is beta, but, let's face it, once released(in whatever state that will be) it will still be arcadey, simplistic and it seems 'dumbed-down' for certainly the more hard-core sub simmers out there.....

It seems too much arcade (my opinion. I like the maximum of realism)
- Calculate intercept course.........yes Sir
- Point the enemy....yes SIr
- Shoot.....yes Sir
- Finish ???

Ok, it's another type of game but I prefer to returm to my old map, ruler, pencil, AOBF, manual TDC, walking through submarine, attack periscope, use the hydrophone etc etc etc

I think that this game is not suitable for the great majority of us.

thanks for sharing the video

this does not seem to be a title which has much appeal to those hard core players.

at least it doesnt seem to have a great deal of appeal to me.

it seems that all of the sense of adventure has been removed what with the warping to targets, no random encounters with the enemy etc

i rather enjoyed spending time on the conning tower standing watch with my crew, or relaxing in the captains bunk listening to the gramophone killing time between engagements.

SHO seems like it will be a lot of warping around going "pew pew pew"

Why do gameplay videos always need to be done by clueless, unsuspecting and uninformed users?

This is your second infraction for the same kind of outburst so please take the opportunity to think before you post in the future.

We like everyone to be respectful to one another in this community.

This is going to be a commercial disaster. I guess this will be the end of Silent Hunter franchise. What a disappointment.


We need indie developers to make something worthwhile. Maybe DCS (the makers of Blackshark) would be willing to make a sub sim?

R.I.P Silent Hunter series. It was an honor!
