Default What types of Uboats?

Does anybody know if SH 5 has got the full range of German Uboat types as in SH 3 or is it just limited to the VII C?

Beste Grüße,

Kurfürst

Type II, VII and IX - for the complete list we'll have to wait.

I hope we'll get a proper Type VIIC early deck railing and acording conning tower this time...

In SHIII taking an VIIC with early conning tower looked just wrong.

I´ll be happy with a late-war version of the type IX C/40, including a "Schnelltauchback" and a correct "Schnorchel"!

Far too early to tell don't you think.

The same subs of sh3 could be enough.

SH5 being a new version of the ATO, IMHO it should contain more types and versions than we saw earlier, and all technology should be present, correct and work properly... I expect nothing less...

I´m 100 percent with you, Carotio!

Take the IX D2 model from SH IV Uboat Missions, for example. It´s a lot more detailed and closer to the real one than the model in SH III has ever been.
I expect that level of detail and historical correctness from SH V!

At the least there should be no "slot" limit on the number of playable u-boats as there is with SH3. Sure, provide only the main ones with the game on release, but code it in a way that allows modellers here to add as many new u-boat types as they wish; it's been a stock feature of popular flight sims for many years.

You know -We dont ACTUALLY even know for sure that its just Uboats yet, That's all that has been announced / released so far, but who knows what other cards they still keeping close to their chest?
Until they release more info, im keeping an open mind.

(edit - good point Jaeson ^^)

I agree with what Ju_88 said above, its too early to tell if SH5 is limited to U boat only. I mean what if they also reveal an additional surprises where we can also operate other nation's submarine, such as USN, RN, IJN, or other nation's navy submarines. Lets see if they actually have a surprises for us when time come.




Chaoic out...

It would also be one hell of a bonus if a few new types from other countries not previously seen in SH were introduced and were playable.

I want I want I want I want I want

We all want as much as we can dream

But, I want smooth game play, accurate interaction with the enemy and if I have to chose (If I have to!!) I refer fewer models down better.

I play SH3 and have for years in a Type VIIC. Yes i loved the XXI and have done a few IXC (am in a career right now where I switched to a IXC in December 41 and went through Pauchenschlag and am now mid 43 but that is unusual for me.

I am not suggesting but if all we got was an incredible VIIC i would be happy if the game was super in the many areas that have in the past been less than optimal.

Again-------------
IMO
