Default A "wish list" on SH5

Ahoy Captains!! Arrgh!!! set sail!!!!

My wishlist in a "real" submarine simulation...

A silmulation program is a program who simulates the real things - sometimes it is forgotten in some games but there is games who have a big + on simulation.

Microsofts Combat Flight Simulator 3, Microprose B17 Flying Fortess, and yes - Ubisoft Silent hunter ( whole serie is still a good simulaton )

Have not mention any car games here - but it is kind of simulation games too - and there are some good ones there too - but above is the more "advanced" simulations games ever done.

Wich there was a newer version of B17 Flying Fortress with better graphics, also a good game - who still can be good sometimes - even if graphics not is the best now..

Now we will discuss subs because we are on subsim forum ...

"TheDarkWraith" done some amazing mods sometimes with "IRAI-0-0-10", it made some more realism in game and it should be like an "update" for the game. BIG thanks for this!! it made the game more fun to play - and survive is now a factor who makes it more exiting - and it is more difficult too.
Well done!!

I like mods who makes the game batter IRAI-0-0-10 for example and MightyFine Crew Mod 1.2.1 with beard the crew members look more "veteran" - but there is more mods who have a BIG +

Some of these persons should Ubisoft consider to have as "team" mates ..

I like Silent Hunter 5 more and more with some mods, some mods are good - some mods can make that you have to reinstall the game from the beginning - not so fun.

But mods is that you have to try whatever if you like them or not, not like then it is good if you have an "backup" folder - something to think about..

"Open Horizons" is a big work with a continue from 1943 - 45, but something has happend when you choose missions - It is more difficult to see how far you have come on an mission too - it is fully playable if you remember cordinates from brefering and what you mission is - write it down or something, makes almost an litte "realism" factor, It is possible that this will work later in Open Horizons ver ????

Well here is some things from my wish list..

XXI sub is in Silent Hunter 4 - it would be great if it would be possible to use it in SH5, and "Open Horizons" is a good name that Ubisoft could have use for an relese with
an continue of 1943 - 1945 with some of "updates" and mods who guys from this forum has done - good work!!
I wish some more dramatic situations - more exiting things, so the game not is getting boring ...

Waterlevel only raise to subdoors inside - when waterlevel raise to much it should come an question:

"Captain!! we taking in water - will we try to fix it or abdon station??"

With an abdon station it somethings ends working in that station - and a possibility to fix it on surface later - the sub is going heavier with more water and have more problem to go to surface again..

With try to fix it - well it can end on a boring way - dead crew members - an random factor can make it possible if the crew succed or not.

It should be possible to save the sub if subdoors are closed - as now it doesn't matter whatever thy are closed or not, there is an big minus on realism..
So totaly flooded rooms should be possible - too many flooded would end at bottom of ozean...a cool factor would be if you could see what happends in the flooded room too..

Well this is not an easy task to solve - so it maybe only will be under a "wish list"
Sometimes the sub sink of no early warnings - and sometimes you think "what happend?" when the sub sink in SH5 - more warnings before the ship is sinking is under my wish list too.
It is from crew:

"Captain!! our sub has take serious damage whe must dive!!!"

It has happen that I have travel underwater without an depth charge in water and still the sub suddenly get a lot of damage and sink, maybe because of too deep and to much damage on sub but when you travel on one depth for example 150 meters for a longer while and suddenly the whole sub breaks without an warning before is a little strange maybe...

I think more persons has the same experience when they have played SH5..
Somthing from the crew there would also be nice..

"Captain!! we have to go up, the hull is breaking up, beacause our damage!!"

If the hull is very damaged you cant go very deep with your sub - but any warnings before it breaks would be nice...

I can't say I am happy with TDC and book of Ship Identification in SH5
More esier way to look in the book woul be nice, whatever you choose to do - and one thing woulde be to let XO Indentify the ships with for example:

"Captain!!, I belive it is an T3 Tanker" ( with a little error chance on big ang foggy conditions )

or:

"Captain!!, I am sure that it is a T3 Tanker" (when it is a little closer but still maybe that he sometimes say wrong ship sometimes depending on level of XO )

They possibility to look in the identification book should be there whatever XO says so it is possible to see the depth of ship for the torpedos
Range and things is possible to get from the map - it is also possible to calculate the speed on the map, but is is maybe difficult - there would XO task and help come in to help calculate these things it is a little TOO difficult to make all these things, if you not think it is funny to do it..

XO:
"Captain!!, do you want my assistance in TDC??"

Ok with assitance - There should Identification, range, and speed already be set..

With no assistance it is either put in all these (identification, renge and speed) by yourself, OR the "easy way" with soultion on map - it shoul be an option for that.

XO, can have an "level" factor with som errors there too before he have experience - when he have come up in level - less errors..

So - TDC is still not very good - it is good that is possible to see torpedo solution on map directry on the "easy way" - but an big minus that you are unable to look in the book for ship identification for torpedo depth in the "easy way" - only if you know the ships it possible to know the depths of torpedos too...

Keep on modding!! all these good mods rocks!! And Ubisoft should consider to use mods from guys who makes some great effects on the game sometimes..

And sometimes they should maybe be able to offer some those any work products they have...
