I hear there's this new Silent Hunter game...

[Nexus7]

SHO goes in the direction of my vision witch is:

log into an ever running multiplayer game where the scenario is the world. With for example 100 nations (teams). You pick one and stay in there.

You can interact with the world with different simulators depending on what you want to do:
- conduct politics (like civ)
- conduct economy (industry)
- be infantry somewhere (inf sim)
- drive a tank somewhere (tank sim)
- drive aircraft somewhere (flight sim)
- drive a submarine somewhere (SH/SC/DW...)
- ecc ecc

This could become real in 10? 20 years ? who knows.

Or you could, and I'm just thinkin' out loud here, interact with the real world depending on what you want to do right now:

- Get involved politically and make the world better (for real)
- Get involved economically (with a job)
- Join the real infantry
- Join the army and drive a real tank (29 Palms is lovely this time of year)
- Join the airforce and fly a real plane (So is Tucson)
- Join the Navy and drive a real submarine
- Etc, etc.

That about joining the right (virtual) nation (or whatever) is not an obvious issue, like 1000 other aspects.

Maybe the whole is a real bad idea (virtualize the life), but doesnt it already go that way ?

But it is a tempting idea to me to get to the puter, log in to the virtual thing and choose what i want to do... for example:
- join Seawolf on patrol in the ??? Sea as a TMA officer
or
- join infantry squad XY in nation XXX with the mission XZ as a flamethrower

[ON EDIT]
Basically it's all about not killing the idea of going online with a sub simulator (even on a large scale) but to sustain it (I am talking about SH5 online here, but coming from Sub Command and Dangerous Waters).
I don't like what has happened to Dangerous Waters, witch was/is in my opinion a path with very interesting potential, but on a dead point.
