Not really SHIII, more of a 'I wish' thing

01-30-07, 09:41 PM

I was just picturing an idea for multiplayer, set in the SHIII genre.

Instead of a single player in control of an entire U-boat, I was wondering what it would be like if it took several players to command a U-boat on patrol. One in command, another as navigator, another as weapons officer, another as engineer, etc. For instance, during a torpedo attack the commanding officer would be on the scope, having the bearing, range, etc. called out, and the WE would have to actually enter that into the TDC.

Owell, just a thought. No way to actually do it from our end, I think. But wouldn't that be awesome to play? :hmm:

Maybe in Sh5.

Too bad its not possible now but if and when it is maybe you could start the war as an OberFanrich and work your way up to Kaelun!

Oh yeah...... *dreaming*.... That would be so awesome!

Like BF2, with multiple players on a vehicle... The possibility to fight as captain & crew.... Really put the word "clan" in perspective... Or should i say "pack"..

Excellent idea, Albrecht!

I think that's a great idea. Instead of "clans" you could have "crews." Really would play up the teamwork aspect.

I'd smell a mutiny

There'd need to be a few options for settling disagreements, maybe some Tekken style fighting on the deck, loser ends up staying in the drink, or can be ejected out of sub with some flotsam to distract enemy DD's

wow amazing idea good one

ummm who decides to be captain though and whos to say if you were to be captain they would agree with your tactics? and quit the game leaving you short of a helmsman or summat. wouldnt it be a little boring too for say a torpedo loader
