Well if you are going to employ a carrier battle group you will need Chinese submarines to pop up in the middle of the formation.

What i would like to see is dangerous waters with upgrade grafics and a 3-d intereur for the sub(s) and possibly ships. It just takes away alot of immersion looking at a 90,s style 2-d screen all the time. But i must confess i would also like to see some sort of carrier sim where you could command the fleet , sail the carrier and plan stikes and even fly the aircraft so some extent.

Hoping for a sub simulator, but I'd be down with any of that too.

i'd personally prefer fleet command 2 (better graphics) but i'd still buy any of the games i suggested.

Saw this topic mentioned over at SimHQ and thought it is a good enough reason to reactivate this old login

I would choose a single vehicle multiple stations subsim set in the cold war (WWIII respectively) with a catchy name such as Cold War Warrior.

The feature I would choose is a persistent world/dynamic campaign (if you can still call that a single feature).

Whatever they decide to make , please NO 2-D STATIONS. I mean comeon its not the 90,s anymore and allthough i thought DW was a interesting sim i really hated the cheezy 2-d panels , they were boring and extremly unimmersive. Give us some 3-d stations . I,m not asking for a totally modeled sub like sh-5 or anything but at least give us something like what we had in sh-3.

Maybe I'm just dreaming here, but a walkable sub and interactive crew members would be nice. Just saying.

I completely disagree. The last thing that I would want is for SCS to take the Silent Hunter route. I am completely fine with 2-D pannels, and if I want to manage the mood of the AI, I'll play Sims 3.

+1

Even 15 years later, Fast Attack (and SH I) have 2d panels of such beauty and detail that they blow low detail 3d panels (as seen in SH3, 4 and 5) out of the water. Really just because its 2d doesn't make it irrelevant. By doing away 3d panels, SCS can invest their meager budget for more important things.
A well done 2d panel will always, always be better than a poorly modeled 3d station.

I'm with Takeda-sama here. I suppose 3D stations would be nice to have, but it's a very small improvement and they only have so much money to spend.

Exactly. Anyone looking for a WWII sim is going to be sorely disappointed.

At first: be realist and listen what players /modders need.

Walking around ship/sub and see/communicate with crew members is very nice but it consumes too much programmers workhours. At Silent Hunter 5 we can see that this is one big mistake.

Answer is very simple:
- put new graphic engine
- made game easiest for noobs (tutorials)
- integrate idea of best mods (RA, Lwami)
- made game more moddable (scripts like at SH5)
- delete bugs or mistakes known at DW,
- use famous solutions at SH / BS series
- support for adding other 3D models by modders
