Look at the box on the side it says:
Each week discover a new playable Uboat
What does that mean?

sorry I've just discovered that it is just type VII

Different Types of the same model mate. AFAIK all are variants on the type 7.

GoldenRivet · 02-02-10, 04:58 PM

Yeah im pretty sure its going to be the

VIIA

VIIB

VIIC

and VIIC/41

AngusJS · 02-02-10, 05:24 PM

I think it's referring to this part of the website:

http://silent-hunter.uk.ubi.com/sile...able-ships.php

which apparently will be updated weekly.

Sgtmonkeynads · 02-02-10, 05:26 PM

GR's right variants of the type VII

floundericiousWA · 02-02-10, 05:33 PM

If you look carefully at the silhouettes, the one on the far right has the double flak cannon "tiered decks" configuration

Sgtmonkeynads · 02-02-10, 05:40 PM

Thats the VIIc 41

Iron Budokan · 02-02-10, 06:15 PM

Yeah, they're talking only about variants, but the language leads a person to believe otherwise.

Typical bait and switch.

They probably will be.
BUT
(I can't help going to the new SHV website, it's like looking at train wreck) I just noticed that they are putting 88cm (!!!) gun on VIIA.

WOW that's gonna be quite of a BANG! One shell (for U.S. residents: 34.65 inches) and ANY merchant meets Davy Jones' locker.

They omitted the VIID (6 boats) and VIIF (four boats) variants. They did the VIIA but only ten were built. I guess they got bored with the VII's and couldn't be bothered to complete the set.

If find it most disturbing that a software company like Ubisoft has released to the public such a poorly edited and constructed pile of XHTML.

How they could not possibly get the content written properly is beyond me. Surely someone there speaks enough English to actually understand that releasing it as it has been is a complete embarrassment?

Combined with the errors on the map of the Mediterranean posted elsewhere, it bodes poorly for the content in game.

They may be minor spelling errors, but it demonstrates the attention to detail level, or more accurately, the lack thereof. Plain and simple.

Don't speak the language? Get in someone who does to at least proofread. Has always worked for me. At the least, consult Wikipedia. Even it spells country names correct!

@Randomizer: I guess the D and F variations were nixxed because they'd require model modifications - ie one size wouldn't fit all. But I hear what you are saying and fully concur.
