Would you like to see a WW 1 U-Boat simulation ? - Page 8

what?

Deamon · 09-07-05, 07:50 PM

I mean the exorcist should have do his homework before he trys to exorcise a naval officer out of his u-boat.

I'd like one, imagine taking on the Hoge, Aboquir, and Cressy. Or being in the middle of the British fleet at Jutland, mmmmm,

Or while being submerged you continualy being chased by a DD, you only manage to loose him in the night. And all because you was stubled in a net and it was all the time visible on the surface.

Or how about you're driving a tiny UB-boot and are on perscope depth and while you lauch the fish you suddenly surface?

Or fishing boats that give away your position over the radio to the enemy? (bastards)

With many tactical features a ww1 sim could be so immersive and such a great pleasure to play that you won't dare to use time compression.

Is there anyone else here who would like to see a WWI subsim ?

coronas · 10-27-05, 05:50 PM

Sweet times! Off course, a Ancient SHIII!

The option of a boarding party would be good. It would mean you could save your torps and gun rounds, but it would expose you to Q-ships and the like.

Yes I'ld buy it as a relative of mine was supposed to be in the WW1 U-boat arm but was transfered at the last moment to trench warfare at the the front for lack of infantry.

Some time ago I started a thread on how a WWI sub sim would offer the best opportunities for a complete game. Most agreed then and its nice to see so many continue to have an interest.

Speaking of WWI, there is a WWI Combat Flight sim being built called OFF (Over Flanders Field) It is a stand alone built using CFS3 and is expected to be released by Christmas as a CD swap freeware or donation ware at SimOuthouse. Here is a link about its release dates which has screens in some of the post
http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...ead.php?t=1656

The Royal Navy used over 200 ships in the Q-ship role during WWI and sank 14 German U-Boats with 19 of the Q-ships sunk by U-Boats. The Germans used decoy ships in the Baltic one sinking 2 Brit subs.

The most serious lacking of SH3 is no wolfpacks. A WWI based sim even using SH3 with WWI models would actually be more accurate than the WWII SH3 as there were no cooperation missions between multiple U-Boats, ergo, you would be on your own as a WWI Kaleun would be.

The sim being discussed here would be very cool particularly for those that play SH3 at 100%. I have done everything I can to mod this so it is more difficult but, IMO, a WWI U-Boat sim would be better than anything because of the manual requirements, you having to do it rather than push a button. I do not use TDC at all in SH3 now.

My one hope is the ability to move around like in a (dare I say it) FPS game rather than pop from one point to another

Best of luck and do it for fun and passion letting the release come as it does.

Great thanks.

Decoy ships ? You mean like Q-Ships ?

Yes. Was there every a sim with Wolfpacks ?

I think it would be neccessery to make some substantial changes to the engine to simulate WWI properly.

That is not entirely true. There were group operations at the end of the war especialy after convois were introduced, it becomes quickly clear that u-boats would need to operate in an organized manner: So they did in the last months of the war. But this group operations weren't so sofisticated as in WWII. But not only at the end of the war. I know of a group operation in July 1916 where 14 u-boats participated in.

Yes that is my target audiance. People who play at 100% and would love to play at 150%

Yes yes. It is my special concern to give as much things to the player as possible that he have to do by hand. Gives you a better feel for the boat.

This was at the top of all priorities since the beginning of the project.

Thanks for your encouragements. Check your PM.

Count me in - I'd love to see a WWI sub sim done anywhere near as well as SH3 - one of the biggest attractions of the IL2/FB series for me was it being set in the very under-simmed Eastern Front context - I think a decent sub sim in the equally-under-simmed WWI context would be a big draw - if we could get some of the extra features mentioned in this thread that would be even cooler - go for it

08-06-06, 01:59 PM

im not skilled at all when it comes to modding, but wouldnt it be possible to "convert" SH3 into a WWI subsim?

this forum is filled with great model creators, and the campaign file has been modded on several occations already, almost everything in SH3 seems modable for the skilled.

And yes, a WWI subsim, be it a SH3 mod or a new game would probably catch my interest.
