Das Boot and Silent Hunter 3

[lafeeverted]

yes they were. Are you sure the written notes were in English?

Really, English? I have the directors cut, and all the notes are in German.

>>I think SH3 was created to to simulate that movie.

Personally i think SH5 more resembles the movie then SH3, or at least, was a more blatant effort at it.

Yes, my version has English notes in it. I was actually able to read it.

I had seen a preview (30% or so) of the movie that didn't have an English text sub-channel across the bottom. If I remember correctly, they were in German. It must have been the original version. But still it was great movie even if they cut and spliced us some English notes. Still, it takes away from its authenticity and originality. Some things you just shouldn't improve upon.

Ducimus, I never got to play SH5 yet. My computer isn't strong enough for that one. It was JUST strong enough to have SH3 running at 16X TC while the movie was playing in Media Player Classic.

That's one of the good things about SH3. It only sips the processor time. Leaving plenty for other tasks like typing this in for this forum.

Well, lets put it this way. in SH5, your chiefs wife is sick, your XO is a hardliner with firm belief they'll win the war, and your engineer back with the engines is complete with black hat, and obession over the engines. If he cracks under a depth charge attack remains to be seen.

do you think, that these RPG-elements could be stripped off? I really don't care about the "feelings" or political attitudes of the crew-members. to some it might add "immersion", to me it's boring and non-essential in a sim I'd like to play.
or is this whole crew-management and "morale"-thingy hard-coded and indespensable?

Probably. Im sure someone will at some point, and someone else will probably expand on it. The mod shop for SH5 doesn't seem to be lacking in variety.
