[Request/Question] Silent Hunter V

[TheGhostWarrior_]

Hi, New here, I know it was done for SH4 with the Bismark mod and all those other mods, but does anyone happen to know of any mods, work in progress or not, that give you other ships to use in the campaign of SH5? if not do you know someone who I could ask to see if they think it would be possible to make ships for the campaign of SH5? But either way, Many Thanks!

Edit: Yeah, just to clear up what I meant, I mean is New playable Units for the open world part of SH5 or online part, just not Scenarios.

Well, it is a bit complicated. You can make yourself an idea by reading the following threads:

Those are just two threads with the most up-to-date information, but you can find many other threads on the same topic by using the search tool.
In short: creating new playable units is not an easy task, and the proprietary format used by SH5 for storing 3D stuff, is making things even more complicated. Vdr1981 has recently added to his megamod (called The Wolves of Steel) an anti-aerial version of the U-boat VII-C (the famous U-Flak), obtained by combining several stock files, some of them discontinued by devs. More playable units are possible in theory, but there is just an handful of modders who are still modding SH5, and I don't think new units, especially playable submarines, will be released anytime soon.
