Regardless of the side you play for, the game is easy to get into.

Why would they have said that then?

From www.ign.com:

Multiplayer Functions in SH5

* Offline Versus Multiplayer (8 players)
* Offline Co-Op Multiplayer (8 players)
* Online Versus Multiplayer (4 players)
* Online Co-Op Multiplayer (4 players)
* Online Multiplayer

What does it mean "online versus multiplayer?
And what is difference beetwen three last points?
Hm...

As noted in this post http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpos ... tcount=449 , at least one report on the SH 5 announcement stated there would be playable allied boats. see:

Combined with previews that insist that the action will be in the Atlantic and Mediterranean (no Pacific mentionned), maybe we'll actually be getting some British subs?

or maybe we'll get escort duty in a tin can, being the DD vs the sub?

Do any of you honestly think that if it was a 2 theater game that would NOT be listed in the features? Do you honestly think that if we were able to command a DD at any point it would NOT be listed in the features?

There is always alot of speculation after a SH game announcement, but the imagination going into some of these for SH5 is just incredible... I just read one by someone that wants to have to swim away from sharks after abandoning ship....

Permit me to join you in that hope/wish

I am a bit worried about this..
First: I like u boats and I want u boats, nothing else...but I realize that some people may disagree..
Second: detailed representation of german u boats needs a lot of hard work...adding an equally modeled british sub (or american/soviet whatever) will double the workload for devs...which often results in a poor result.

I prefer excellent U boats and only U boats than good U boats and poorly made allied subs...

You may be in for a suprise then.....consider the possibility of both German and Allied units fitting into the 'excellent' category.

Yes, I really hope so...but the fact is that given x amont of time and x amount of money, the less you have to do the better it will be done. It's not a rule, of course, but I know that if you put more and more work into a project it is unlikely that everything will result "excellent"..they have to deal with funds/time at their disposal.

I only hope you are correct.
