Yeah, these screenshots remind me of the opening scene from The Hunt for Red October too!! Very excited!! I hope there's the occasional iceberg and that it snows in Career mode!

Is that smoke coming from factories along the shore line?

Yes but how is that any different to SH3 or SH4?

JU_88 · 10-06-09, 07:57 AM

@ longam, yes it is but even SH3 had smoke effects from factories - these ones just look nicer.
Speaking of smoke, i hope that the Smoke stacks from ships are bit longer this time around.... pretty easy to increase them via a mod i know, but all the same....
It nice to see a ship creep over the horizon...
smoke, masts, ship - in that order

The sky color is superb. And the waves are spot on. I think I can spot some unintrusive shadows, very nice

Is it just me or does the ship on the right have blur? Blur is a nice effect to have but most games do it very wrong. I'd rather have it done by soft antialias. It looked amazing in sh3.

Those screen shots do look fantastic at the moment. The thing that i like the most is the obvious reworking of the SH4 engine to make it much more realistic. Plus these are still only early screen shots so things can only get better from here.

One thing that really adds to the winter atmosphere is the ice and snow on the ships

that is a brilliant addition but i wonder if the u-boat starts to freeze up if it stays above water?

One thing that SH5 needs now is Snow and blizzards!
I didn't understand why there was never any snow in SH3 but if we got proper snow in SH5 it would make the winter atmosphere complete

Thats not a screen shot Thats my new Wallpaper

Ack. I have myself created a 3d model of a Type VIIc submarine, and it is unfortunate that the waves are seen inside the model.

When a model looks hollow, it seriously disrupts the immersive feel to the model. They should really patch this up with some geometry blocking the view placed just inside the hull, and not leave it this way where you can see the emptiness inside.

This "error" tells me two things. One the screenshot is from the game and NOT concept art and two the game is not finished. Give them a break and let them get on with their work.

Regarding the 'holes' its probably just beacause its incomplete, and its easy to fix anyway, just needs a long black box, if the devs dont do it I will.
