This looks like a cool add on - probably will have to go on a clean, patched un modified install though

I guess I don't understand the "us vs. them" debate.

I think i do. Although im not sure of myself on this subject anymore, it all gets muddled after awhile. I think the bottom line is that Sh4 was meant as a tribute to the US submarine service in the pacific theater. Or at least, that is the common perception. So The term "uboat" is like a slap in the face, because they always get all the hype and attention. So I think for many reasons, alot of people in the SH4 community are just tired of hearing about them.

I don't see anywhere on the DVD case for SH4 that says Silent Hunter 4 is supposed to be a tribute to US submariners. It just says 'Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific' which could mean any nationality, as could the term Silent Hunter.

Although if we want to get really picky on stuff, if anything, the Wolf reference is more applicable to German subs than any other nation at all, since they were the ones that hunted in packs and coined the epiphet (not that they exactly darkened the Pacific horizon with U-Boat periscopes), in addition to which, there is a Rising Sun behind where it says 'Wolves of the Pacific' too, which hardly seems to fit a 'US submariner tribute' notion, although we could put that down to naff graphic design I guess, since the box also depicts a sub engaging in a major suface action with carriers and Kamikazes all over the place. As far as I'm aware, UBI pitched it as more appealing to casual players, rather than any sort of tribute.

I like both sims, I really don't see why it has to turn into a petty war about things, there's nothing stopping anyone driving a Gato alone if they want to, although to be fair, I think UBI ought to add in that wierd Yank one - the Narhwal is it? before they put an obscure Jerry one that never even got built, in numbers.

Anyway, I'd like to see Jap, British and Italian ones too, but I'm not about to start slagging forum members and developers off, just because I'm not getting exactly what I in particular want.

Edit: Hey look at my post count! I am 1337, cool, (or pehaps I mean kewl) I am teh roxxor (whatever that means)

Not that anyone RTFM's this day and age, but try looking at the last sentence of page 20 in the game manual.
Here, ill save you the trouble:

Very interesting.

the game is about the pacific , but everybody is free to install or use some features or future mods, like u-boats. Also , it happens before when a team convert SH2 to the pacific using stuff from DC (destroyer command)

the addon opens a door to import units and things from sh3 to sh4 and a very wide array of possibilities.

That is what crossed my mind....i wonder how the subs will look when crossed back from sh4 to sh3......

If it says that in your manual, fair enough, but it doesn't say that anywhere in my SH4 manual that I can see, this is page 20 of it:

who's gonna bring the curry?

. i think it's good for the series to bring a Uboat campaign to that region

. it's something that's little explored, even possobly historically
