What do you think guys about an Admiral Game Mode for SHIII?

Kristian · 09-03-05, 02:56 AM

... what if you guys can be Doenitz himself in a game mode for Silent Hunter III that allows you to control all the management from crew of the subs in various German bases to the industry that produce parts for your submarines and air patrols + other various management stuff that could help you to win the war... maybe?

You could control the patrol of all your subs at sea and when a sub meets a convoy a mission is generated for Silent Hunter III and you could decide the fate of that sub at sea in a 3D real time mission?

What if this Game mode could become the Panzer General of Submarines in Silent Hunter III?

What if...?

All your comments are welcome.

Coool idea, but you'd need another game. Conpletely different concept actually. Call it "U-Boats against England" or something.

Kristian · 09-03-05, 03:02 AM

Could be a different game that could interact with Silent Hunter III without alterring the career game mode. Means that if I want to have a captain 's career i could have it without beeing forced to make any macro management stuff.

GrayWolf3rdXO · 09-03-05, 03:17 AM

I agree Destroyer Comand was ok But could have been way beter if you got promoted to beable to Captin a Battle ship or Aircraft Carrier depending on your choice of action.

Example would be, A patrol boat to a Light DD to a Escort DD to a Light Crusier to a Crusier to a Heavy Cruiser to a Battle Crusier to a Battle Ship or Ari Craft Carrier.

That would be like SH33 but only with ships insteat of Up grading subs.

Kristian · 09-03-05, 03:24 AM

No, for the moment just the u-boat cause surface ships and air fleet is another part of the story and quite a big one to be developed easily. ...just for the u-boat only.

A modification like this is already in work, although only in german so far. http://www.subwolves.com/

I think the idea sounds awesome... I would love that.

There was already something like this for an old game called Fighting Steel, a tactical WWII surface naval combat game...called Thunder at Sea which was fought at an operational level. You allot your ships to TFs given limited supplies, get reinforcements (and have ships withdrawn), repair ships etc. Subs and ari attacks are abstract (FS was a surface game) and when a fleet got into visual contact of another the second game was launched to resolve surface combat.

Neat to have this for SH3. Esp. for team play.

Captain Norman · 09-03-05, 11:03 AM

It could be like Battle of Britain, with the commander mode and in-flight mode. It could be a great game, but some people DO have a thing against Doenitz. But hey, it would be a great game. Perhaps SH4 will consider the idea.

FAdmiral · 09-03-05, 03:49 PM

That would be a Strategic-Operational-Tactical type of game.
I have wished for that type of game for the last 10 years but
the PC's have never been up to the task till now. It would
take alot of programming to get it right but in time I think we
will see that type of game be a reality.....

JIM

PS. I'm just not sure how much $$$ it would cost !!!

GrayWolf3rdXO · 09-03-05, 06:10 PM

If they come out with SH4, UBI is defently running with EA Games lol BF2 might be coming out with a expantion for somting they should have already done/fixed.

Das Kaptain · 09-03-05, 06:28 PM

I think we lost the thread here. A mod like that would be ok by me, but it seems it would be a lot more than just a mod as others have said. It would require a stand-alone program. Not sure someone could mod the current SH3 to that.

A team work on something like this. The game is named Subwolves and is a stand alone program. So this will not be a mod.

I think your german is not so good

so perhaps u like my translation....

http://www.subwolves.com/

WElcome on this homepage about the game Subwolves, Subwolves is an inofficial Add-on for Silent Hunter 3. What does this game ? Its a Round Strategy game which takes place from 1939 till 1945 in the Atlanktik ocean. You become the role of the BDU and you can give your orders at own risk. Submarine construction, scientific research, development, training, Information about sea, administration, looking after U-boot harbours from Norway to France and of course the strategic and tactical usement of Uboots.

Why an inoffical Add on for Silent Hunter 3 ?

Subwolves is a round based Strategic Game. From the sight of the BDU, you lead the Uboots to the fights. The Figths (the meeting from Uboots with enemy ships) will be played in Silent Hunter 3. The principle is like the games from the Total War series.

When I can make this game, then Subwolves will be an enrichment for many, enthusiastic Silent Hunter 3 Player, because it will give them the Chance to play the Uboot War with a deeper Background.

Perhaps when I have more time, i will translate other parts of the Website. I hope you enjoy my text

I think there are many mistakes but I think you will understand what i mean ....
