Or you could go to door #4 where the object of the game is whatever OHII has in the works, using whatever interface style you prefer (SH3/4/5), with unparalleled graphics, an AI that will test your abilities as captain, and real navigation (none of this fake stuff you're doing in SH4). That door #4 would be SH5 modded - a completely different game from the original If you haven't tried it you are really missing out

Does SH5/OHII feature U.S. fleet boats in the mods yet?

No, but TDW wasn't really dissing SH4, he was responding directly to RR's comments on SH5. Responding to a single point sometimes causes trouble. I should know.

Didn't cause trouble as far as I'm concerned. It was a genuine question. If SH5 has more bells and whistles *and* I get to fleet boat it, I'm on board. I didn't think there was a mod that changed theaters for SH5 (I look, regularly) but that doesn't mean one doesn't exist somewhere (I also miss finding things, regularly).

So, if the Batfish wasn't cracked by the Okie earthquake, wouldja be interested in a road trip to visit that ol gal?

No, SH5 doesn't even include u-boats other than various versions of the Type VII. There's a very good reason for that, but it still is what it is. That said, depending on what the modders who actually program can figure out, it certainly may be possible in the future.

I'm always interested in meeting people I've talked with at Subsim. At this time a road trip means a bus trip, but once I have a car (and then a bike) I'll be a lot more mobile.

Well, there's a few boats closer to ya but the travel logistics remain the same. I've been tempted to fly up to see them, however, and I'd hafta get a car rental anyhow. If I can arrange it with work and the ol lady I'll give ya a head's up before we start finalizing the plans.

What I'd really like to do is arrange a large SubSim meet closer to here, though. I thought the Batfish would be a perfect backdrop and we have a singing group here in the DFW area known as 'The New Andrews Sisters' that love to perform at reenactments and WWII reunions. Dunno what they charge but they're into it. I'm picturing luau and dance with whatever facility near the sub that can kinda fake a 'Grand Hawaiian' setting.

Yeah, as usual, I think in grandiose terms.

May I ask what is OHII?

[ETsd4]

Open Horizon II, a campaign for SH5.

I'll continue to "miss out" thank you. I have no desire to feed the monster. My money stays in my pocket until something better appears.
