Hope that SH5 100% difficult is more difficult

[Noren]

My take on this:

3.DD found in your ability,
Destroyers having an easier time finding the sub?
4.DD Long-range shelling of your accuracy,
Destroyers accuracy significantly improved. It should be lethal to be in their presence!
5.Ship shelling periscope capacity,
Ships should be able to shell the periscope, if spotted?
6.Ship evade your torpedoes fired capacity,
As it says, ships should be trying to evade torpedoes.
7.DD of quasi-degree launch depth charges,
Destroyers should have numerous mounts for depth charges?
8.DD Underwater find that your ability to ......。
Destroyers should have an easier time detecting the sub while submerged?

Thanks... now i understand.

And @ W clear... i totaly agree, 100% difficulty should be as realistic as it can possible be.

{edit} except the 1 save bit!!!! i'd have to be playing for days, even years (as SH5 goes from 1939 to 1943) with out sleep if i could only save once during a campain. I wouldn't trust my crew enough to come and wake me if a ship was spotted!

WOW----------！you are so smart~~you almost get all of them right, thank you very much! But one thing:
7.Destroyers should launch depth charges very accurately.(my daughter help me in this translation)
I hope you would always help metranslate my posts. I have huge amounts of suggestions about Silent Hunter, but I can't present them to you because of my poor english.

Thanks W Clear! Im only trying to help, us skippers must join together against the might DRM and the allied forces

Im all for time-compression! otherwise we would'nt have a life.

DD's should not be predictable, when it comes to maneouvers. I have'nt played convoys-attacks so much as some of you but I've read about the real war tactics: like one DD making noise and confusion, while another sits quiet and listens....like carpetbombing. Like relentless stalking (which could make some of our already depressed crewmembers panic etc).

I hope SH5 has a setting where it's difficult to the point that I do about the same as the average real life submarine skipper. If I get 120,000 tons per patrol then the game is wrong.

W_CLEAR your english is getting much better since being here . cheers sober out .

[Noren]

W Clear, is this your video?

It is signed by you in the end, excellent work I have to say!

Its better if you write here in German, so we can put all you say into google translator and understand what you mean.

Plus we have a lot of german speakers around who can help.

Point 1 is impossible from a gameplay POV, adds nothing to realism, and would kill the game for everyone having to restart whole missions.

Everything else seems acceptable (I think).

Cheers

I wish I could see two important things in SH5 as for tough realism:
1. Various sort of torpedo malfunctions. Premature detonations, torpedoes running too deep, torpedoes bumping off the ships or not exploding at all.
2. Early in the war and to some extent later, various levels of the enemy`s and crew`s alertness. I mean, there were cases when the destroyers were virtually blind to the surfaced U Boats and otherwise - sometimes the deck watch failed to spot the destroyer running against the Boat in time.

Oh I'd have to disagree with that! Dead is Dead adds alot to realism, in the sense that you might actually start to sweat for real when you hear those asdic pings and you know that you might lose your entire career if you die. Kinda gives you a reason to stay alive no?

Take it a step further... if you die, it will fry your whole computer and de-activate your copy of the game!

I agree that the ability to restore to a previous point is too tempting to abuse... I know I've done it many times. I would like to have the OPTION to make it so that it only saves when I exit the game, and when I die I can't re-load at all. I think it would be fun to play this way, but unreasonable to force this style of gameplay on everyone.

You laugh but I clearly remember a guy here, around 2006, saying that when he dies he puts his game away in the closet for 6 months. We would assume he was kidding but he said it in a serious way, so who knows...
As for me, personally, I have no problem scraping a career if I die, in fact it would be harder for me to continue it.
