[Poll] SH5 & you - One sub or more?

[JScones]

Several. Happy with a II, VII and IX...would be even happier if modders could add more types without needing to replace/fudge an existing u-boat type.

Say goodbye to Cape Town, Cape Hatteras and the Caribbean.

I'm starting to understand why everyone is worried about the game...

Imagine if there's no wolfpacks, only type VII without wolfpacks... that would be

Agreed, the type XXI can wait for a add-on or something.

For me, if having only one sub means that the 100% realism option nuts get a crazy good experience, then I'm fine, although I love the type II.

I mean, if instead of modeling a type II and type IX with interior, they spent that time on coding accurate engine management, sub controls, and a very detailed damage model with technically accurate flooding, I'd find that just plain awesome.

Now of course if there's just one playable sub with not so much perceived added value over several subs, well meh.

Btw I'm surprised by the results so far, I didn't expect the difference to be so sharp. If the "hearsay" is true, UBI might have used a poll about that 1 year ago

I'm 200% (to say the least ) sure that you Sir know what I meant.
Unlike the type XVIII Walter that never got a chance to sail as these boats were cancelled in favour of the XXI in 1944, quite a few XXI got commissioned - though I agree with you, none of them sunk significant tonnage, as most if not all were used as training boats until the end of the war.

Ain't happening-did you get a chance to view those screenies with the digital torpedo panel? Looks like I'll likely be taking a pass on this if these things I've been seeing are in (or, in the case of the other subs, not in) the intial release.

Well, the interface doesn't say anything about the level of detail of the simulation so we can keep hoping. Personally I don't mind the interface that much, except the odd left/right focus for the scope.

And, the interface is one aspect of the game that the devs guaranteed will be thoroughly moddable, though I hope it will good out of the box, above all with descent plotting/targetting tools. We need more screenshots

I simply add the question differently.

What can you expect for 50 euros a game like Silent Hunter 5

For the moderns 3D Tehnik not least .. half of the dynamics of SH3 as a little better graphics., Mar.

SH3 goes back several years....Hmmm !! who goas Silent Hunter 5 ...!!!

Agreed. I could somewhat understand only Type IX's with no wolfpacks, as those weren't wolfpack boats. But Type VII's with no wolfpacks? Not good. Not good at all.

[urfisch]

lol...whats this here? took some drinks at moe´s? you really thought there would be more than one sub to play with? no. there is only one sub, which also needs to be shared!!! only 50 players can play this at a time...all on their own station.

UHHGH!



yeah, got ya.

"Oh, crud! I'm the number six torpedo-loader again? I hate this game!"

[TarJak]

Well if only the VII is modeled as playable in game then playing the Paukenschlag campaign will be a bit iffy!

Buggered if I want to get stuck halfway back across the Atlantic every time I pay the yanks a visit. The trip to Capetown or Argentina will also be a problem.

[Schultz]

I would preffer more subs and highly detailed
