So I got an email about this on Monday from Subsim for some reason. Features:
QuoteSilent Hunter® 5 key features:
• VIEW AS A CAPTAIN: Walk through highly detailed submarines in the new first-person view and access every part of your U-boat.
• BECOME A REAL LEADER: Interact with your crew, watch them perform their daily jobs and experience the tension and fear inside the U-boat through the new advanced order system.
• WAR STRATEGIES: Choose your own strategy and select your targets with a new objective-driven, dynamic campaign.
• ENEMY REACTIONS: Open new locations, upgrades and resupply possibilities, while the Allied ships adjust dynamically to your approach. Your actions will directly impact the evolution of the campaign.
• NEW USER INTERFACE: Prowl the waters with a brand-new user interface. Now, every beginner can successfully command a sub while remaining free of confusion. In expert mode, experienced players will be provided all the necessary information and controls to command the sub completely on their own.
• CINEMATIC EXPERIENCE: Experience the most realistic and immersive Silent Hunter ever created. Improved environment graphics create a powerful level of immersion as you operate authentic, highly detailed U-boats and fight against surface ships.

Early 2010.
Link to where I ripped off the screenshot and c&ped those features from (there's also another SS there, as well as a trailer that I haven't watched) :

Alright then. Carry on.
Edit: Oops...broken table. Too bad there isn't a spoiler tag or something on this board.
I kind of drifted out of the subsim scene after Gato and Silent Service.
Hey that's not really true, I played some Aces of the Deep too.
I want an Italian submarine simulator.

An Italian attack diver sim would be kind of cool. There would be submarines.

Oooo. Good one. Frogmen sneaking into Alexandria. Hot.
I won't buy any sub sim unless you can shell and machine gun (using the AA guns I guess) people in the water.

Didn't the last one have lifeboats? Could you not shoot those up? I don't remember (haven't played SH<#> in a while now).

Go fill your bathtub and stick your head under. Same thing.

I'd need a screen door for a Polack sub sim.
Doesn't replace the GWX supermod.

That's the real question, isn't it? If the new engine is mod-friendly, I will buy it fairly quickly. If there are no improvements there, I see no reason to upgrade. Hell, I'm still waiting for GWX4 to buy SH4.
What is the scenario? Atlantic war, Pacific?

FFS Lucidor can't you see that it's a Type VII U-boot on the pic in the OP? What kind of geek are you ? <_<

Hmmm, I am probably less of one than you all are. :blush: My GF lets me do nerdish things, so I figure I'm not too close to falling off the edge to nerdvana.
Sub sims are for cowards.
Real men fight with dreadnaughts?

The dreadnought battleship is the most honourable and advanced form of warfare availible in the modern era.

I'm sure your cavalry horses appreciate their berthings as well.

At least with sub sims you can replay an entire campaign and adapt, instead of replaying the same few hours of battle all the time.
I mean, Jutland seems great and all, but what is the pleasure in replaying the same battle, the same engagements, and the same formations all the time?
And the Grey Wolves Supermod for Silent Hunter V will kick some f'king ass! :mmm:

Well, isn't the entire 1916 campaign game a bit flexible?

QuoteUPDATE: Journey's End for The Grey Wolves Mod Team
Farewell
Building on the success of our expansion packs for 'Silent Hunter 3', in early 2009 the team began creating the next installment in the GWX series: GWX4, a freeware expansion pack for 'Silent Hunter 4: U-boat Missions'.
Unfortunately, due to the team's real life commitments and the likelihood of many of our objectives for GWX4 being mirrored in next year's release of Silent Hunter 5, the GWX4 project is officially cancelled and the team disbanded.

The best two sub games ever (tied) are still Red Storm Rising and Silent Service II. :cool:

I don't care. Last week or so their forum was full because of people who couldn't play because they couldn't access the authorization server. Which was caused by a MS Windows update.

Ah, pumping Harpoons into the Kirov. Good times.
I liked blowing up Krivaks, because I thought the name Krivak sounded funny. You got a funny name, you get a Tomahawk up your ass.

Fuck that shit. The minute I saw a Kirov or a Slava, those bastards got 4-6 Tomahawks flying at them. Each.
I don't remember there being Slavas in the game. :huh:

Looks like you'll need to log onto ubisofts servers to play this game. That sucks.

The only thing that pissed me off about Red Storm Rising was being unable to use TLAM-Ns. I mean, a weapon unused is a useless weapon, dammit.
