With "versions" almost released for mobile phones & ipod touch PS3/XBOX/WII versions suddenly don't seem so far fetched anymore. Ubi recently said they would expand and concentrate on their franchise titles recently so anything is possible.

Actually it is not so far fetched considering the enormous potential of the console market. They already made SHV for the iPhone.

Expect the worst

HF/DF is indeed modelled in SH5. It was even modelled in SH3.

... the average real-life experience on a U-boat entailed days or months of mind-numbing boredom and routine punctuated by a few minutes or hours of intense excitement - culminating in death.

All the stuff you mentioned sounds nice one the sheet, but ingame it would probably just be boring and/or frustrating. Its great for mods and simheads like yours truly, but the avarage subgame enthusiast probably wouldn't dig it on bit.
