I tried to add that to the poll here but unforunately the BBS does not let you add "after the fact" I did however add it to the equivalent poll over on the Ubi SH4 site you may wish to vote for it there.

Make Silent Hunter 5 the definitive WW2 submarine simulation! Pacific ,Atlantic, Mediterranean, Black Sea, watever EVERYWHERE; from mighty American Fleet submarines to German U-Boats to Japanese subs to British subs to Russian subs to Italian subs!!!!1!!! Also include the ultra 1337 Imm3r$$1v3 First-Person walk feature where you can walk around everywhere in the sub from the torpedo room, command room, to the bilge, to the engine room, or when you are in port you can walk out of the sub and explore the base/port and walk back into the sub!!! ZOMFG

After the initial release of the game, Ubisoft could start a Community Supported Updates/Patch program where YOU, THE ULTRA 1337 M0DD3R$ could continue to add content to the game (work for free since you are also the ones playing the game and want the game to evolve) IE: add new realistic autentic subs, add new realistic authentic ports, add new realistic authentic ships, add new realistic autentic models, new realistic sounds, new realistic water physics (dream

), or tweak some aspects of the game to more closely reflect reality ie (maximum/crush depth of Balao = 900-1000 ft not 650 ft!!!), fix problems/bugs found. Ubisoft can then release these additional contents and fixes in the form of an official update/patch!!!! V 1.5 !!!! w00t w0t0 w00t

Hehheh. I can't complain. I said reviving the DC franchise is everdue. Must be a Freudian slip. :p

I would love to see another TF1942 type game. It's long overdue. Microsoft games and their tome like manuals... stares off into middle distance

Captain Vlad · 02-11-08, 08:45 PM

I voted for the MMOG for the same cash-flow related reasons stated elsewhere, but also for the sheer fun of pitting yourself against human opponents. Just look at this forum...can you imagine the nail-biting fights people with our usual knowledge and experience of subsims would have?

There's a lot of issues doing 'real war' style online games, though, especially if you're going for serious realism. As a former player of WWII Online I will happily state that spending half your spare time walking or riding to someplace you might see some action kinda blows.

Cost wise, 14.99 a month is perfectly reasonable. If you're not willing to give up 3 movie rentals in a 30 day period, you probably aren't that keen on playing the game anyway.

In my heart of hearts, though....I want DC2. I haven't played a decent surface ship sim in years, simply because I can't remember when the last one was released.

Oh...an additional point about the MMOG idea...if you think you get attached to your boat on stock SH IV...you'd be amazed how personal your virtual vehicle can become when real people shoot at it.

Yes I fully agree, I was playing Ship Sim 2008 online the other day and it's amazing how much more tension you feel when manoeuvering someone else's ship with your tug, knowing that you could accidentally send their ship to the bottom by your carelessness. Even just communicating with other ships and seeing them respond to your orders, knowing there is an intellgence and randomness to everything around you adds a whole new dimension to an otherwise fairly dry game.

Good catch! Yeah, Microprose that's the one.

Sonarman · 02-11-08, 10:03 PM

Ouch, is it really 22 years ago that Microprose's Silent Service appeared on the C-64 I can still remember buying it as if it was yesterday, God we are old!

FIREWALL · 02-11-08, 10:23 PM

If I were Ubisoft I would... I'd be bankrupt in 90 days .

The new addon should give all an idea which direction Ubisoft is going in the present future.

You better be right, that level of excitement is just cruel otherwise :p

I was 8 years old when I got that game as a gift for a good report card.
