@ Uber Gruber, here is a song you might enjoy.

Great song, thanks! Didn't know we had a resident DJ.

As a side-note, you can rest assured that all your suggestions are being compiled and sent to the devteam for review.And now, the answers:

Is it possible to develop the feature to control the Port and Starboard engines of the U-Boat independently?

We’re considering this feature. It should go much deeper than just individual control by allowing the player to use the electric motors while on the surface – for faster response to commands.

Can we call in a refuelling sub or to reload the torps in the middle of Atlantic? and perhaps we can also see the crew in actions to refuel and reload the torps?

Whether the crew will be visibly performing these actions is still to be decided, but you’ll definitely be able to resupply at sea. This was an important factor in the real U-Boat campaign and it will be the same in our game too.

Will SH5 have both a gramophone (like SH3) for playing "records" and a working radio (like SH4) that can be tuned in to various stations for broadcasts of music, shows, and news?

Both these features will make an appearance. The amount of included materials for them will be limited though because of copyright issues and respect for other people’s works. We expect modders will come out with content packs for these features, as they did for SH4.

Just like in SH3 can you set the audible voice language to be german while the text be english? I loved that immersive feeling.

We agree it was very immersive and plan to provide same option for SH5 too.

Nice sitrep.

1.Ooh, I'd love to have more control over the engines.

2.Resupplying with milk-cows sound cool. It definitely was historical.

3.I can understand the copy-right issues.

4.Good to know.

Very nice addition!

It means if you sell product with song (and earn money) you should pay for song's author. Fans can do that because mod are for free...
But here are good news - game will be modable, the question: how deep....

Jimbuna · 10-28-09, 04:39 PM

Pretty positive responses

Glad to see them answered!

Hopefully they've sacked the guy with the Mickey Mouse voice.

I'm referring of course to the voices in SH3 where they did exactly as you described. They took the original voice set, and then changed the pitch of it up and down to make one voice into three....of course this had the effect of making the high pitched sounding voice like Mickey Mouse and the low pitch voice sounding like the Terminator.

I would hope they get a couple voice actors to read the lines instead of doing it this way, but I guess we'll take what we get won't we?
