Cold-War Era SH5

STEED · 08-12-07, 08:58 AM

Cold war = No real event, borring.

WW2 = Real event, lots of action.

its not very exciting if you cant sink anything the cold war submarine actions was described as 99% bordom punctuated by 1% terror on occasion i dont think it would make a good game and as a serving member who was serving during the cold war you could say i know what im talking about

SH5 should be WW2 but on both sides of the ocean. Pick a sub (any
nationality) and go for it. Also to make the game complete, be able to
drive any surface ship too. Make MP like it was in the days of SH2/Destroyer Command. In other words, open the flood gate and allow anything goes !!

Heck yeah.

I'd drink to that.

Well, I'm not saying that the Silent Hunter series shouldn't return to the WWII arena, afterall it'd be a shame to waist all the work that's gone into recreating life aboard a WWII sub. I just think it'd be cool to give the cold-war a try.

I agree WWII subsims can't be beat but I always thaught there was something exciting in the secret cold war world; subs VS subs

Uhu, uhu... I see where this is going..
HELL YEAH!!!!!!

+1! I like this idea!

And regarding the cold war era, we already got the excellent Sub Command and Dangerous Waters.
I agree with an earlier comment that such modern sims have a very limited audience, though. This is why I consider myself lucky to have Dangerous Waters.

Destroyer Command 2 please, with gfx engine of SH4 "easily" done.

For modern subs I use Sub Command, wonderfully great modern subsim.

As long as they could merge SHIII and 4 together so you had both sides plus the Brit, Japanese and Russian subs, I'd go for that. Plus any WWII subs I didn't mention.

But only if it works as advertised right out of the box. Like finish the damn thing before it's released.

Wow you could spend whole a whole career radioing you position home, or that of the Russions. You could radio home and say stuff. Maybe if you were lucky you could drop spys into enemy territory, now thats familiar but think of the graphics, you know a guy in a rubber dingy, sort of fades into the distance!

You could even say Boo! to Russians, or follow their trawlers around or get caught in their nets. If you were really lucky, and, probably this is more for Russian players, you could have a reactor problem and die slowly while causing a major environmental problem for generations to come.

I cant think why any one would want to play such a game or what the challenge would be.

True, right and true...

There are events, space, variety and atmosphere for another three simulations with Kriegsmarine.

And pole questions are not set in correct way...
If you change the first and second question - who would say "I can not patrol without a cold war ???"
