Hi

I hate to say it, but market-wise, I don't think they're interested. If I try to look at it from their point of view, SH5 wasn't a big success for them. A lot of money, time, and resources went in-and a glitchy, buggy game was produced, packaged, and sold with not a whole lot of return. I'm sure they know about communities like this one and the modders that basically rewrote their programs and made it better. It's like a slap in the face to them. Their mentality is probably, " If you can do better...." type attitude. Besides, they have a TON of console games that 13 year olds will buy without hesitation. Even SH5 came out more like a console game, rather than a sim. The modders turned it into a sim. Look at the Assassin's Creed series; BIG success for them, so that's where they're gonna put their resources....where they can MAKE MONEY. To me, it's like any corporation, their not in it for the product, or even, the art; they want a return in the black ink. SH series is a dead horse to them.
I totally agree with wanting to expand it to the later boats, mainly because my passion for U-boats started with U-505 and it is a TYPE IXC. I'd love to Captain that boat, even if it's just on my computer. But we'd have better luck working together and coming up with it as a mod. I know I'm no modder, I wouldn't know where, how to begin. But we're the only ones who care, so we have the power to make it happen, much more power than relying on UBISOFT or any other major corporation to listen and agree. Just my opinion, and I could be wrong, most of the time I am.

i think as that this is a good idea however it will never happen UBI has SHO comming out and all their submarine guys are probably still hashing that out...heck they may have decided not to acknowledge SH5 ever again

Is this sarcasm? cos I have a feeling I've just made a fool of myself...

Or one of us subsimmers could re-texture the old SH3 IX boats and give them all the new things SH5 requires in a U-boot

the problem is importing it into the sh5 gr2 format. Even with TDW's awesome tool, you only can delete/replace in existing gr2 file, not create a new one yet (I think, there might be and probably is lots of things that I'm not aware of - I'm just learning atm).

Not only that, but just importing the hull is not enough. You also need to make all the rooms and animations. That is not including scaling of the model (not sure how close they are between games), all the sounds and meshes, equipment and effects.

I bet TDW and privateer can do it 'by hand', metaphorically speaking, but I don't think SH5 deserves it to get like this :P

No, it was just a bit of irony

But without bad thoughts, and without intending to offend you
