Hi Dan

Probably best to ask your own (at Ubisoft) Eric Jacint as it was his statement at Leipzig? that a new Sim game "the fifth in a series" would would be the next Ubi Bucharest project after HAWX. That's the only thing we really know at the moment and the seed from which this mighty thread has grown.

Modern subs don't attack with torpedos (unless another enemy sub is out there), they just get near the surface, lob a few SA missles at a target 700k away then withdraw. Boring to make into a game IMO.

I still want a WW1 sim, take on the High Seas Fleet

That depends. This is a game after all, you don't need to make it into a bunch of boring military simulation training missions. Take a page from "Ice Station Zebra", make the player have to navigate beneath the Artic shelf and drop a bunch of Special Ops to retrieve a downed spy satelite. While on route you're "escorted" by one or two soviet subs for "tension". In the way back to base they attack you and you have to either down them or slip through to make it to safety. All the while make those graphics shine with beautifull under-ice vistas and make the sub crack trough the ice shelf in glorious shiny graphics. Bang, 500k sales right there. It's all on making really cool missions with tons of tension instead of boring-ass ones, coupled with awe-inspiring graphics to tease your imagination.

Oh, and of course, maintain the acessibility of SH's design. Anyone from the most harcore to the most "arcadish" player can play these games and have a ton of fun. My gameplay style falls into the later (yeah, shame on me

). There's something for everyone in SH and that is why the game has enough sales to get a new sequel.

Judging the reception of a Cold War or modern sub sim based on the reception of Dangerous Waters is a big mistake, since that game is the antitesis of what SH is.

Rumors of my demise have been somehow exagerated, said the doc.

Oh, I'm fairly certain that they can blow away anything we might do... AT WILL! (Especially so if the Ubisoft execs give the Silent Hunter devs the time they need in relation to available manpower.)

Sure we can do some pretty cool and complicated stuff... but we don't have to code a simulator from scratch on a new engine either.

The only thing i hope with the next part of game is proper beta test

. The last one was a disaster.
