Questions for the SH5 dev team???

[Sailor Steve]

Another vote for IABL's ideas on merchants. Of course I wouldn't mind seeing him make those same merchants.

Because that's the way they went in and out of harbor, which is not so important, but it's also the way they conducted night surfaced attacks, because it's so much quieter. Also, running decks-awash was done on electrics. Thirdly, you should be able to have the diesels damaged, and if both are under repair you might want to go somewhere while they're under repair, albeit very slowly.

I would insistently suggest to make a priority list of wishes on the first page of this thread! With this we could give the developers some hints which things should be in the game and which not.

[Arclight]

As far as I know the devs are keeping up with all the nonsense and excellent suggestions posted all over the place, and making their own priority list.

I Want;

Realistc Uboats Types (like SH3) VIIB, VIIC, IXB, IXC, IXD, XXI, is bounden.
Interaction with Bdu, Luftwaffe patrol (like SH4) and Kriegsmarine combat support.
More damage animations.
Milkcows, more RAF patrols, all world maped, more nations involved (like GWX).

AND REALISTIC POLITICS WITH NEUTRALS SHIPS

There you go! Thanks for answering my question.

Will ther be more options in the realism settings like friendly contacts on and TC off while underwater etc .

[Seaman_Hornsby]

Since we will be able to walk through the boat, will we be able to go to the torpedo rooms and watch the crew reload the tubes?

Maybe we could get our wives interested in this game if they could come in and watch those hard-working torpedomen going shirtless during a reload. Tiny compartment, hot, sweaty bodies, rippling muscles....

In the SH3 game was possible to actually see a interface screen with the floodings in each one of the compartments , in SH4 this feature was worst reduced to just a few square blue box above the sub plan , I hope the damage model and the flooding interface screen of the compartments will be on SH5 by at least as accurate as was in SH3 , no worst like SH4 please


The possibility to control the left and right engine independently is already a must for the new SH5 " please "

Where the number of blades and the RPM match with the target ship.

That is one area that was missing from SH3/4

Were they already able to get that info back then ?

If they were, how ? (what did they see ?)

that would be a great idea

[Deep Source]

I have a question. Sh5 will have Hedgehogs and rockets simulation?

Individual engine control,

I agree about the possibility to slow down or speed up the left and right engines independently

SH5 NEEDS Dynamic shadows . Without dynamic shadows the realism factor goes down the toilet!
I've seen an SH5 trailer where in the engine room there were dynamic shadows cast onto the floor. I'm crossing my fingers. From other screen shots though it appears that there are no dynamic shadows.
I can't see how adding dynamic shadows results in major FPS hits. You have to add code to use the Stencil buffer which is relatively easy to enable you to make things like shadows and mirrors. C'mon devs, the game uses DirectX. DirectX makes it relatively simple to add mirrors and shadows to games. Enabling shadows involves some linear computations and all but it isn't drawing a complex 3D model so how is it an FPS hit? I'll give you that some blending might need to be done but this can be done via shaders (which is done on the video card's GPU) so once again how is this an FPS hit?
I haven't explored DirectX 10 but maybe that version adds some more functions that make shadows easier to do.

I AGREE , AGREE , Please Please UBISOFT why dont add the Dynamic Shadows in the next edition/version of the Silent Hunter series ,the Dynamic Shadows add so much to the inmersion factor ,the Dynamic Shadows feature in SH3 have been partially developed but later were totally cancelled and deleted with the excuse of lowering frame per seconds , in SH4 were no Dynamic Shadows at all , the excuse that Dynamic Sadows lowering Frame per seconds is ridiculous and not true because I have many other games with enabled Dynamic Shadows and my computer with a very very old Nvidia 8800Gt dont have problem with dynamic shadows,

The Dynamic Shadows of SH3 were with many bugs

Hi guys! Question: what historical documents developers for creation of models of German U-boats?
