I love this game!

McBeck · 03-15-10, 02:50 AM

Yeah...im not afraid to say it!

For the first time EVER I feel like I am a part of a crew and a submarine

stabiz · 03-15-10, 03:08 AM

I`m with you! Or ... I dont LOVE it right now, but I see what it can be. Patches + modders = SH5, best uboat sim ever.

I still hate the DRM, though.

I always judge a game by how much my wife hates it and she hates this game with a passion!

Totally agree, once this game has it's LAST patch released and a ****load of mods and supermods, IT WILL BE the best submarine simulator ever (think SH3 GWX but with a much greater immersion, eye candy, etc.)

McBeck · 03-15-10, 05:52 AM

The only mod I REALLY needed was a spread angle dial and rudder dials.

But other than that, Im a happy camper.

I try to go around the sub for the orders, so I dont use the button for Battle stations. I dont use the button for man deck gun or flack. I try to do it the way the captain would do it.

I just start sub simulation with Silent Hunter V and i love it. Yeah the game need a lot of tweak to be really good, yes we are tired to wait for a finished game (where ? where ??) and we can be very thanksfull for the modding community.
Personnaly i use TheDarkWraith UI MOD and Capthelm audio and lightning mod and i sneak around for new awesome MOD to enhance this very good, ... but unfinished game. The DRM is really annoying, 3 time server down since i start

Juliano · 03-15-10, 07:05 AM

I miss a couple of things...
1 - radio messeges (like in SH3 + GWX)
2 - a band when I´m leaving port

I also hope some patch or mod will fix the ships running ashore issue
Oh, and KM map grid

I cannot agree more !!!!

Despite the DMR and some unfinished touches I am already having much fun with SHV and I would surely keep on playing with it (provided UBI servers work

)

The possibilities about modding and scripting makes it simply awesome and Subsim Modders comunity are my heroes.

I just dream one day someone release a MOD where you can command a DD and we can start having tournaments and competitions sub vs DD.
I am sure it would be the most popular MOD ever

Long life to SHV !!!

Coldcall · 03-15-10, 07:17 AM

I agree in that i think it has serious potential to be the best SH once modded.

If they just got rid of DRM i think this game would be much more appreciated by a wider community of players.

Decoman · 03-15-10, 07:23 AM

I keep a personal list of issues, so I won't easily fall into denial

And many more modders would join the fight

I need some things fixed:

1. Man the deck gun/flak gun repaired. The men just do not do it.

2. Hydrophone man is a snoozer.

3. My crew animation needs some work.

4. Add a return to course button and compass on the UI

With just those items fixed the game would be a 9/10 for me. As it stands now it is a great game and I'm enjoying it quite a bit. I would be estatic if the entire PTO with fleets could be added! I can only wish!

stellaferox · 03-15-10, 10:28 AM

And maybe after a while when you get weary of walking down the friggin' tube all the time to keep the sailors morale a quickbutton to jump to the station and back........

03-15-10, 11:07 AM

I too love this game, not had so much fun since I first got SH3, didn't really like SH4?

Only trouble is, there are far to many bugs in it still, I have been using quite a few mods (thanks to all modders) to make this subsim more realistic, however now I keep getting CTD's when trying to take a screenshot or when taking a picture through the periscope?

I guess I will have to take out some mods and see if that cures it?

I seen quite few people moaning about having to go up the down the ladder manually and long for the old style of morphing into compartments, I however will never get fed up of this, as its far more exciting and real having to get inside the sub real quick when a destroyer suprises you lol, that will teach me, as a captain i guess I should not use the deck gun with escorts around lol

great Subsim so far

Agree strongly. While I agree it's annoying to have to be all the way inside before you can even order diving, it is very exciting, realistic and immersing to have to dive down the ladder under machine gun fire from a merchant, plane or warship.

Only thing missing is the crewmen scrambling down the ladder with you.
