How much would you pay for the ultimate subsim?

i have said for over 7 years now that i would $200 for a real fix to my personal list of problems with these games.

Silent hunter series is the only sub game and ubi is the only producer . If SH5 sales are a success and they decide to do an addon then i would pay the going rate for a pc game .

$200 would be my limit.

$100 would be the median.

If it were the end all be all of subsims of course.

there are a lot of wish list items there... and yes it would be a 'pipe dream'

The utlimate subsim would probably be a true replacment for SH3. Problem is (im guessing) the devs haven't been given the time, money or resources to accomplish that. Sh4 and Sh5 are ultimately derived from SH3. Or rather, SH4 was based off of SH3 to save time and money, and SH5 borrowed from that!

What is really wanted IMO is an entirely new game, designed from scratch from the ground up, with 4 years development time behind it. Sh5 reminds me alot like earlier versions of windows. Win98 was duct taped over Win95 , which was stapled over Win 3.1, which was glued over DOS, - if you follow my train of thought there.

That would be convoy of thought, but you are correct, and it would only happen if the franchise proved golden. Otherwise, it would be castrated like That PT boat abomination. I'm beginning to like the u-boat/wolfenstein direction more and more now.

Amazing how often this comes up, and yet no one seems to know anything about the open source subsim Danger From the Deep

In one go Id say $99.99 but over time what ever. But for that it better be good. Between IL2 Stormovik, Forgotten Battles, the Aces Expansion Pack, Pacific fighters and IL21946 I've spent over $250 on my WWII airpower fix with Oleg Maddox . And eventhough I complained about pulling out my wallet so damn often, each time I loaded the sim up I have been in warbird heaven. I can fly more beautifully modeled warbirds than I ever knew existed over nearly every theater of the War. After I spent only $50 on SH4 and I was very disappointed and I still play SH3 far more than SH4, despite how graphically gorgous SH4 is.

I've bought all the Silent Hunter Series incl. DC since SH2 but I have not felt that same feeling I got with SH3 since SH3. If Ubi wants to follow Oleg's path and get me to pay for more SH addons down the line I will be happy to do so but they ve got to deliver. Make a commitment to accuracy (not perfection per se) fix howlers for free with regular patches (Oleg usually includes new content along with his patches) and constantly improve the product. Do that and I'll happily spend the bucks.

I really think the War at Sea deserves the same treatment as the War in the Air. PC Simming is my favorite hobby next to photography so for a quality program I'd be happy to pay up.
