I'm impressed with what i have seen so far.

appears that the disconnect from the video has little to no affect on game play. We shall see though.

yes, the loading sequence needs the finer details fleshed out with modification.

HOWEVER

top notch work for stock

I would very much like to see the torpedo NOT suddenly vanish when the inner hatch for the torpedo tube is closed

EDIT:

it appears that the captain has a "voice" now when giving orders.

can Neal confirm?

I also liked at the beginning of the video - the men speaking abotu the firing of the torpedo... very "chain of command" ish

That bit about disconnecting the network? WOOOOOEEEEEE.

Sorry. Blueneck in me came out a bit. What I meant to say is that I'm anxiously awaiting further information on the OSP integration. Having the connection drop and the game continuing gives me hope that I might be able to stomach it.

I really do want SH5... it sure looks purty. *cough*

Since then I have not had to log on, but a game launcher always comes up preceeding the game. If I discover I have a non-DRM version, I will let you all know. I don't see why they would send me a non-DRM version, though.
To clarify, does that message actually appear on the screen, or did you add that into the video yourself?

What are the rest of the settings for the key? When I try, all I get is gibberish.

Looks like crew members have shadows here... Whereas the torpedo that's being loaded doesn't have one.



@ Neal : Some of us would like to see how harbours look like now (let's say Lorient and its bunkers, if possible ).

Not in a new video though : screenshot(s) would do.

But just think! Seagull and carp soup! And if your cook is at Soup Level 2, it might even be edible.

That might be a good thing, mind.

I will admit - it looks good. The internet disconnect I find REAL interesting what we have been told on how it will work appears different from how it is working in the video. That means that this method of DRM is not in play for SH5 - or there have been... modifications to it.

Neal - can you run a test to see how long you can play with the cable pulled out of your machine (so you don't disconnect anyone else in the home)?

There were some "realism" issues for those that want to really be stiff about it. But on the flip side, I liked the "expandable" plot - though it needs some tools! If the GUI is easily customizable, as well as some answer on OSP, this may be something more palatable that what I initially thought.

Thanks Neal!

Haha, I never said I was able to run the machine either

I need more rotor and reflactor settings, I never got a code book!

The guys loading the tubes don't seem to be in any particular rush. Herr Kaleun needs to bring a whip on the next patrol.

And all four were premature detonations? I know 'it happens to a lot of subs', but damn -- someone needs to have that looked at.

Obviously they forgot to include the "think about baseball" option. I've heard that helps.
