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

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.

Only just installed GWX 3.0 !

Found this also. Might have already been posted

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.

I haven't played this in a while.
This looks interesting.

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

Happy now?

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.

Keltos01, is working on some subs, and there`s a campaign being built in SHIV. Puts

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
