Ai subs in Sh4, how important it for you

JU_88 · 09-26-06, 10:02 AM

It was missing in SH3, considering this is a dynamic naval sim how important do think computer controlled subs in SH4 is....
No matter which side the subs are on (or both), thats not relevant. just weather the devs should take the time to include Sub AI this time around.

I voted yes. US subs doing ops together was very common and certainly could belong in this sim.

It would definately be not a deal breaker for me but I would certainly like it.

I voted Yes as well. After playing the original Silent Hunter, it will seem odd if they are not present. I would'nt expect to encounter them on a regular basis, but it would add alot knowing they may be lurking out there at periscope depth.

I voted yes.
Of course, I would still buy it if it was just me, my boat and I against the Japanese but, it would be so much more enjoyable with a little help from my friends.

It would be nice to have an AI sub or two around, especially towards the end of 1944, when american used wolfpacks for the first time. I would still by the game if they didn't have it in. but it would be nice...

Just remeber to say please to the dev's when you ask...

Please devs please.... If they do AI for submarines I will model and add all the ones they will likely leave out, like british and dutch, I dont care what it takes, ill do it!
Ill even find a way to import the IX/C/D2 so we can have rare encounters with Monsun boats in asia.

If there is also Ai for aircraft launch torpeedos and rocket attacks - the possibilies for adding planes is endless too! I hope the game is easier to mod (add units) than SH3

*IF* they get all the other bugs worked out, and *IF* they get all the allied subs working properly. (that is already a tall order)

I'd like to see AI subs. Not real important to me. It might be interesting to be able to coordinate some kind of balanced attack.

It would be nice to get ambushed by the odd japanese sub too, (very occasionally) it would break up the usual aircraft and escort combo (which can get predictable after a while) and keep us on our toes.

well from he books that i have read about (and in my opinan) most of the IJN ships that were sunk in the early part of the Pasific sub war where subs (I-24 ext.) and if any one here, which there will be can fire up SH 1 then just try to run a campan with out runing into about 1 or 2 IJN subs evary other mission.
