I think Ubisoft confirmed on their upcoming releases page that it was u-boats in the Atlantic, and all new coding. May be wrong though.

We are probably at least a year away from SH 5 release and we will see a lot of speculation ln the meantime. I imagine that a lot og SH-5 will be GWX stuff.

Is this true? Thumbs up if it is tho.
It was confirmed a good while back that SH5 was to be an Atlantic theatre based U-boat game.

The question is......what sides will be playable and will there be a Pacific theatre addon in the future.

They certainly did a good job at UBI with SH3, and I do not forget that the base of the game is very good. The problem with those guys is :
1 ) They want to make money quickly. ( Not only UBI )
2 ) They don' t want to take the needed time for making a near perfect game ( or as near as... ) and they don't polish their work enough. ( I mean , look at Age of Empire II, the top notch quality that game was at the time. The problems with this game were really scarce and IMHO this was a leader in the genre, and for years ).
Look at Bethesda for example and the incredible success they have with Elder Scrolls IV and Fallout III... ( on X-Box )
3 ) Also they don't want to take advise from anybody and anything you can say they don't care. They prefer to rush like mad and make money instantly with a half finished game , not understanding that making something twice better would double their profit as well as the lifespan of their products.
If those guys would really allows their engeners conceptors etc.. ( that they pay ) to express their full potential and not always restraining their talent and creativity with money deadlines and what not, may be one day they could equal people as those in the GWX team, that do that for free...

Also I think they should make games for the majority rather than inceasing the game Specs all the time. I mean, now everytime a new game is on the market, you either have to buy a new PC, or a new card, or what not else...

I play both SHIII and SHIV, Atlantic and Pacific, but only fight for the German side

I first came across submarine is a story on Reader's Digest, about sinking of Japanese aircraft carrier Shinano by USS Archer-Fish (SS-311). But later, I find that the submarine war was more intensive at the ATO, and the look of u-boat is cooler that those fleet boat. Like Kapt Z said, underdog is more interesting and challenging.

I'll take the U-Boats in the Atlantic. There is an excitement to the hunter becoming the hunted.
