Poll: I would like a 1944-45 add on for SH5 in the future.

[Onkel Neal]

I would like to buy SH5 and have the team who are experienced and dedicated in making great subsims (Ubisoft Romania) employed year round, creating more content and value for the game, releasing a nice expansion every 6 months. I would love it if SH5 was as realistic as SH3/4, with more features, and enhanced options to help casual gamers but also retain the great 100% realism features I love...and as a result, sell a million copies (100,000 to hardcore subsim guys, 900,000 to Sonic the hedgehog players). I would love that because then Ubisoft would pour more resources into the SH franchise, instead of it limping along due to lackluster sales.

If there was less piracy in Eastern Europe and Asia, market of some 3-4.000.000 "black" players... we would already have another team making IX type... and third one making 44/45 campaign - all togather paid in advance by Ubi...

I voted yes for an addon. The last year or two of the war for a captain were less about glory for the fatherland and more about pure survival. The possibility that if I played my cards right and managed to keep the men alive long enough that the Reich would come to its senses and wave the white flag adds an element of tension and excitement to the campaign. Also it allows for roleplaying as the kaleun in ways that can't be programmed into the game. If I'm ordered by BdU to go on a suicide mission to stop a taskforce in Gibralter at the end of the war but I'm "roleplaying" the kaleun as a disillusioned man, fed up with the senseless sacrifice, I can take the option of steering my boat to an area where my chances of survival are better.

My fear is that SH5 may not allow for this kind of real roleplay action. And therein lies the problem with adding "RPG" elements into sims. No one can write a better story or character background for a sim than the player.

That said, all we can do is speculate and root for the devs to deliver us a winner. I vote for more rooting than speculating at this point.

Dammit, it's not even February yet!

I vote that 43-45 campaign with allied abilities of that time is a must.
Add to it xxi uboat with acoustic torpedoes radars and you have all new game/sim.
It may be not historically correct but i dont care i think it would be much more fun than happy times.Kind of like early cold war technology warfare.

SirUber, i would have greatly agreed with you, but if there is to be an expansion (primarily based) on Sir Websters comments, regarding the Sneaky peaky side of simulation, then i shall embrace and welcome, the add on. Perhaps running silent a while, will stand good stead for sh 7, cold war release. (After Sh6, fairness to the pacific fans, of course.) I would warm very much to this idea, only having once completed the sim, and accumulated lots of tonnage and medals of course. SirSober my friend, i sway to Yes, but why no, not sure maybe, option on poll None the less, a poll thread of worth. Good Day.

[urfisch]

the poll is nonsense. the option "no, i want the addon to be modded" is missing. for me, i dont want to buy extras. "extras" which are no extras, but missing content.

this really is the wrong signal, to be ready to buy extra content. lets see, how modable the game is, and decide afterwards, if there needs to be content added. note: i said "added" and not "completed"...completing missing content.



really nice interaction between boats and bdu, with shadowing and helping each other, attacking convois, helping in case a lack of fuel, or rescue missions for sunken boats, writing an own logbook, using the enigma for decoding reports, etc. -> coded elements and functions!!! this would be a great addon.



but not the unfinished years 43-45...

Because the Devs said those years are relatively unimportant.
