World of Silent Hunter V?

Yes, I have thought about this idea a lot lately, I even discussed it with my friend, whom is a silent hunter addicted too. It would be something awsome....something like Eve Online. Imagine that the server would recreate the whole WW2....and we would be part of it... It would take a huge effort in programming, and I doubt that it could be free, but who cares. I would pay to play something like that. It's something beautiful...i just hope that someday this will become reality.

I thought this was to bounce ideas around on a possible SH.V in the near future.

My fault. I was going to name the thread something like "Silent Hunter V an MMO?", but I re-named it just for fun's sake to make people think of World of Warcraft

.

Picture yourself 50 nautical miles off of the Philippines (sp.?) in your Gato-class, getting a message from Neal Stevens that there's a juicy under-defended convoy at this-and-that position and that he's inviting friendlies to operate against it with him. Then STEED calls in saying he's close enough to intercept, too, and the three of you agree to form up and hunt convoy.

Tough luck Safe-Keeper in his war-torn-but-trusty Japanese destroyer has intercepted your radio chatter and pin-pointed you with fatal accuracy. Oh well, another US sub for him to paint on his hull.

There is already World War II On-Line if you're interested, but it does not focus on naval engagements. It's a 1:2 (?) representation of Western Europe, featuring the French and British trying to hold back the Germans.
