Silent Hunter 4 'Add On' Info

[tater]

I have no interest in roleplaying a u-boat captain. I'll happily SINK u-boats. I didn't ever buy SH3 because as good as it looked, I have no interest in sinking allied shipping. I've been in ww2ol since beta, and I have never spawned german in there, either. Haven't flown ~half the planes in Il-2, either. I love seeing new tanks in there for the germans though---on fire.

Here's what I'm thinking, after absorbing what's being given to us;

When I'm playing SH4, I can scroll the nav map over to the ATO.

There is already a mod that put's the training missions off the Long Island/Connecticut coast.

We can be in the ATO.

Now, Dan and his team are going to give us Uboats, done in the SH4 engine.

This puts us halfway to creating SH3 in the SH4 engine.

A German Uboat Atlantic campaign, with the SH4 engine, never smelled so close.


Am I wrong here?

Part of me hopes that by doing this Ubisoft are kinda closing the book on WWII and making way for a Cold War era Silent Hunter! Yeaahhh!!

@Monolith

No, Monobrow, you're not wrong. Except that SH4 uses the SH3 engine, not the other way around. Bye bye WW II!

Not my cup of tea

That's true, but it'd be fun getting up to ramming speed in a Nuclear Sub! :rotfl:

Don't know about the rest of you but I really hope that the devs will bring that Abraham Lincoln looking dude in to this game. Can anyone still remember him from those early vids?

Ah yes, Capt Ahab. He said something about a big white whale and then started just muttering. -shrug-

Sort of.

It's still based on the GDS engine, but a much improved version.

Not only is that clearly visually obvious, but I can get a quote from Dan on it. It's more than apropriate to call it the SH4 engine.

You don't really want me to play wth your name too, do you?

Looks like KFM continues his god complex. What a loser! He is totally blind to the fact that his only function in this has been that of a shell hole in a submarine.:rotfl:He thinks violating confidences with Ubi is proof if his "habilities." I'm glad I spend my time here, and that he had the good sense to send his surrogate.

I think the dev team is trying to give us our monies worth.
Maybe to make up for all the stuff that we have had to endure.
Also maybe the Great Mods we use may of had something to do with the higher up's
to proceed on this course.
Maybe an Olive Branch,perhaps

From my "3rd time" in the China Sea, just back from the "3rd" agent thing. :rotfl:

Yeah, I think that could be kinda fun. But first you gotta justify, in a single paragraph, why SH5 shouldn't be Cold-War era?

He hasn't got a Messiah or 'God' complex. His actions stem from an inferiority complex and justifiably so, he is inferior.

How could you wanna miss out on fun like that!?

I dunno General, I guess it's called personal preference, the reason we have all these mod things anyway. I'd guess modders have stronger personal preferences than most the rest of us and that's what motivates them to do all that work we appreciate.
