Silent Hunter a success says Ubisoft

Nice to see that Ubi do actually consider the SH series a "success" maybe the future will be bright after all.

Good to hear!

I wonder how successful it would be without the community constantly improving it:hmm:.

If they keep seeing it as a success, they'll keep putting money into it to pump out new versions!

Do I smell a SH5 out there?

The stock game is one thing, the community efforts to improve that just because they love submarines is another thing!

They don't do that in order to save UBISOFT!

Schroeder be more carefull please or you will never see SH5/6/7!

Either you misunderstood me, or I'm misunderstanding you.

I just pointed out that the community improved an unfinished game constantly. The stock game alone would not be that much of a success (at least that's what I think).
I never said that the community is working for UBI, but UBI is benefiting greatly from the work done here.

Yes, I think you are right especially when you consider even beyond the mods that the latter patches were only developed due to continuous community pressure on Ubi's customer support dept.

But at least the vanilla versions of the SH series aren't nearly as bad as the vanilla CFS series.

Time for a destroyer command with surface units and battleships and a modern warfare simulator

It took them how long to consider it a success?!?!I knew the SIlent Hunter as a success After I saw only an hour of gameplay of Silent Hunter 2(My freind STILL plays it hes has all of them on his comp)I didn't like it untill I got SH3 and am faithfull to the series as a fan and player.

I just wish I could've found Sub Sim a little earlier!
