They only reference SH4 here, no mention of SH3. So my take on it is this. In SH4 you played the Americans, with SH5 you will be playing the Germans. To me they came across like playing the Americans was a bad thing, a problem that needed a remedy. But hey I could be wrong, maybe we'll get those Brit boats after all!

It includes axidental results.

Axidental operations are those performed by Kriegsmarine dentists.

Uhhh. Why doesn't someone ask them point blank what they meant ?

Or is this second guessing game more fun ?

This is a most curious development.

I think they change at 11,000 posts.

that doesnt mean that you can play both sides. Its stating that since you played allied in SH4, you now play axis in SH5.

They missed a big opportunity to have Japanese subs in SH IV. Wasn't some mod group working on that-haven't seen anything in the relevant mod forum about it in some time tho.

Yes there is a Japanese campaign in the works I believe. Seems the SH4 forums have died out a little with the tiny bit of news of SH5 coming out.
