SHO Beta

Do any of you recently received an invitation to the beta-test? I'm looking forward a few months and nothing ...

This is exactly what I feared would happen and sadly, exactly what I was expecting from a "F2P" browser based game.

Ubisoft is not going to back down from this sales model, that is the entire underlying basis of this game so I don't think beta testers are going to be able to change it's freemium nature on any meaningful level.

From the sound of things, this looks like something I am going to have to avoid, I already had my heart broken by the cancellation of a real Mechwarrior game in 2009 so that they could release Mechwarrior online (yet another "F2P" game) with no single player and nothing that made the originals interesting.

Sorry for the rambling, it just looks like the Silent Hunter franchise has finally fallen victim to ubi's push for F2P at all cost.

If that's a Type VII C, then I believe that big ring should be on the right side, not left. Or it could be that other ship on the horizon that doesn't show on the map.

Correct, the model is mirror-inverted, either wrong modelled or an error during the conversion into the internal model format. Devs want to investigate it

That looks really good for a browser game tho.

ALSO all smoke should go in the same direction including the explosion smoke of the target as the stack smoke.
