Yep looking forward to this Silent Hunter! Captain's View? Is it really that much needed? Good for the "eye candy" part I guess. smile

Boy, I hope the voices on the video are not the ones they will use for the game.

It's a promo video for their English-speaking audience...

Absolutely. The two current alternatives right now are the equivalent of having the captain's feet stuck in cement or floating around the interior like a disembodied spirit. Having a first-person view is long overdue for this franchise.

Fixed link. Going to have to skip this one. Still haven't got my moneys worth out of SH3 and 4.

Looks very interesting. I have yet to play SHIV though but I'm now excited about this as well. Maybe there will be more interaction opportunities with the crew. Sort of like B-17 The Mighty Eight but for subs. SH3 is basically that way but I'd be curious to see what they have in mind. More rpg elements with regards to the crew intertwined with the naval simulation and graphics environment of SH3/SH4 would be awesome.

Well that may be but nothing kills immersion more than Germans speaking in impeccable Hollywood American (US) accents.

I'm kind of this tired back and forth jumping we're doing with the American to German campaigns with each sequel. Why can't they do something new, like a Japanese side? Or heaven forbid, do a cold war subsim, or even a modern day one.

Hey you have to consider that the hayday of Submarine Warfare WAS World Wars I & II. And I know what you mean about the jumping back and forth between the US and German Sides. I too wish they would do something different. The Japanese did have a Sub program but it was not their strong point I do not believe. On the item of a modern day I would love to see another one of them come around.

I'd love to see an add-on for the Japanese sub fleet.

Brit subs, European waters, yes please.

But I'll settle for another round in the German boats. I hope it'll be better than SHIV - that game never managed to keep me interested, and God knows I've given it enough chances. SH3 GWX, however....

The opposite is true for me while I like SH3 GWX a lot, I prefer SHIV much more. The only item I wish was in SHIV would be the British Subs. I have read Ken Poolmans "Allied Submarines of WW2" many times and the exploits of the "T" class subs like HMS Totem, HMS Tactician and HMS Thule in the pacific theater rate right at the top with any nations submarine force in WW2

A giant +1 for me

I have tried to get the British T Class into SH4 but it always comes out messed up and because I have a nice stable mix of TM and RSRD + PE4 I don't want to mess it up with to much tinkering

Destroyer Command 2? smile

I only ever managed to get one DC game + SH2 multiplayer game going, and it was... 9 years ago? It was such a great time I'd love to see something like that again.

I'll be getting SH5, I just can't stay away. One of the very few PC titles I will play.

I'm not too thrilled on the Atlantic again, but the presentation looks nice. Yet no mention of Wolfpacks, still not.

Personally I most enjoy the German Boats in the Pacific/Indian Ocean for SHIV. It's a part of the war we hadn't seen before. But if they pull this one off correctly it will be worth it for the atmosphere I guess.

There's plenty of modern day sub sims out in the last 10 years. Pick one. You'll like it.

Amen brother! The Nazis are so yesterday. I still don't get the obsession with the Nazis. Perhaps when this one undersells they'll stop making them. I agree. Put us in a Japanese sub for something different. Or how about the Russians? Every other subsim is the doggone Germans again. I'm really sick of it.
