The next SH should be WWI in the Atlantic. Here’s why | Forums

Think About it we should have all the patrol logs, there are more U.S sub musemus for the graphis to compare to. And THERE ARE OWN GODAM SUBS!

No more coffee for you.

I dunno. It seems enough information is around to accurately model either scenario. World War II and German weaponry are fairly well documented. The real limiting factor, as I see it, is that most Americans don't bother reading about or considering the war from more than the American perspective.

I'd agree with the view that the Atlantic theater provides more material for a naval simulation, but I enjoyed the hell out of Silent Service II back in the day.

Yeah I'm sure we would be hearing all about how fun the Pacific war is from the same people that don't take IXs right now because the trip to NY is too long Why don't we just have a sim for the gunner on a C3 cargo ship, sail around for months and maybe have a chance to shoot at something.

Some good points and I, for one, am all for a Pacific version. But, my point on the WWI era sim is the game limits. The fact we do not have wolf packs, the not so long patrols of a WWI boat, the things that have not worked as well, all easily corrected in a WWI version more than any other including the German WWII.
It offers the most from a , forget the nation, game format..
I assume a Pacific one could have some empty patched were the TC could be 10240 which would help!!

I like the idea of having both.
If we ask we could receive, if we don't we won't.

That is a definite sort of !!!

Isn't it just as bad that if you play on the Allies side its still a foregone conclusion that you are going to win?
Either way Axis / Allies the end result is the same - unless you don't mind changing history.

i'd like to see an expansion pack to sh3 that will add ww1. this will give us a good perspective on uboat technology progression. sh4 could take on a new theater altogether.. such as the cold war period.. or the japanese ww2 sub service.

I would very much like the idea of a WWI subsim based on SH3...I also like the idea of a WWI expansion pack for SH3...how difficult would it be to do a mod with the current version of SH3? Can the dates be altered in SH3 to an early enough time to make this happen?

Nonetheless, I would pay money for either a WWI subsim or an expansion pack for SH3...I encourage Ubisoft to do so....

I,too,like the idea of a WW I sim.

Not only would you be able to operate from the European ports like Zeebrugge,you would also have the opertunity,to operate from SW Africa and East Africa from the German Colonies.

Maybe even have the option,to command a surface raider,for the South Atlantic and Indian + Pacific.

There would even be the added danger,that when surface attacking using the deck gun,you'd come up against a "Q"ship.

Just a thought,so if you don't like the suggestion ask me to put my head in a bucket of water 3 times,and pull it out twice.

Hi, I also would like to see a WW1 campaign either as a MOD or as a completly new SIM. After playing SHIII since i was released, Iâ´m amazed who the real it is (enviromental, sounds etc.) I remember Silent Hunter I.. the amiga version, Iâ´ll have to take care not getting seasick while iâ´m playing SH III in a North Atlantic Storm. I think itâ´s a great SIM

I hope they don't do the pacific theatre. To me, it's the most boring phase of any war in modern military history that I know of, I won't be buying an expansion or SH4 if it's set in the pacific. It would be ideal if they had both allies (not just americans) and the jerries.
