Moving thru the boat??

[merc4ulfate]

I love a bow to stern walk through boat. To be able to go to the torpedo room and watch a loading and hit fire from there or walk to the engine room and watch those diesel roar ... it would be lovely.

Yes, it would be very nice, but also a lot of work. Especially, when you consider things like crew, animations, and the like.

From what I've read about it SH5 created a whole new program to allow walking around in the boat talking to crewmen and tasting the cook's soup. Apparently they thought that was more important than finally adding the most vital aspect of submarine simulation.

It does make it feel a little restrictive when you can only go three places on the entire boat. When you are on a long patrol and you get tired of being on the bridge you get the urge to go below and walk around but then you're stopped once you hit the control room. I'd like to be able to go into the engine room, battery compartment and finally my favorite the torpedo room.

OH well maybe once I get a faster computer and it's gets modded out enough to fix all of the bugs I'll pick up SH5 for the whole effect.
Course then I won't be in the pacific anymore.

I wrote a patcher to patch out the bugs. Many mods have been made to really enhance SH5. Tell me what bugs are left to patch out

I've even taken SH5 to another level with my patcher application by adding new things that never existed in any of the Silent Hunter series (air-to-air combat for one for the planes, just finishing up a new patch that will greatly reduce the sonar return strength of sonar with a unit sitting near the bottom, and gave coastal defenses a way to spot submerged submarines using 'sub loops').

So tell me, what bugs are left in SH5

I was only speculating that there were a lot of bugs left in the game.
When I saw it for sale on amazon for only $9.00 a lot of people were commenting on how "buggy" the game was that's why it was selling so cheap but it sounds like you have taken it a long way.
Cool now all I have to do is get a faster computer.

I am able to run SH5 modded/patched on my crappy Dell work laptop (Celeron processor!) with integrated Intel HD graphics! Yes I had to turn down the shadows to almost nothing and most of the graphical sliders to low but it still works. So it is possible to run SH5 on a very, very low-end system.

Maybe I can run it on mine. I have a 17" laptop with 2.5 gig cpu and 4 gig ram. The only area i'm hurting in is video. Being a laptop it's only base video, nothing special.
It would be worth the $9.00 to pick it up and try it. If not I'll always have for later.

For everyone who says you can't move thru the boat on SH5 check out this video.

This should have been part of SH4.

Nope, same ole code from SH3&4. And what would be that vital aspect in your opinion? Curious is all.

IMO it deals with immersion into the game. Especially when under attack or taking damage during damage repair times after you have just ducked a serious depth charging and you have suffered damage. Taking on water could put a whole new light on it when you go back to the engine room and see water spraying out of the ceiling.
Oh well just wishful thinking.
