ATTENTION SHO PLAYERS-CRASH DIVE USELESS
Folks,
I have played this for a week and I have discovered that crash diving is utterly worthless. You dive at the exact same speed you would on a normal dive. That's right. If you need to crash dive to get away from something, you are screwed. I assumed that this was a bug when I sent in my support ticket, but the response I was given was that this was intentional. Blue Byte was too lazy to code crash diving properly They will not even consider changing it without "forum support." So, I will play their little game and tell everyone here that crash diving is broken. Here is the forum threat to tell them to fix it. http://forum.silenthunteronline.com/...9264#post19264 Kaleuns, Let them have it with all tubes! |

You mean this? As you can see, I already did. I did not just walk onto the dock, you know.

In the German beta version there is a difference!
Tested with a Type VIIc: full ahead speed - surface to 50m depth - normal dive = 3 minutes full ahead speed - surface to 50m depth - crash dive = 1.25 minutes

Apparently, the Dev Team does not believe you, Seeadler. All it tells me is that I made the right decision and that if the Devs are going to start calling people liars, I need to stay as far away from them as possible. Quote:

I know, they also do not believe me after my report, that the British naval base "Rosyth" is located in Scotland at the Firth of Forth. They put Rosysth in the south at the Thames Estuary. Or Saint Nazaire, La Rochelle and Bordeaux, all locations are placed wrong (all 200km too far south)

I agree. What is really sad is that, were it not for this issue, the other bugs were acceptable for a beta release. What part of crash dive do they not understand?

After jockeying with one of Blue Byte's beamters over the past day or two, I have decided to just walk away from this game. The fact that the German Beta has a working basic feature, but is broken for everyone else is pretty galling. I gave this game a fair chance, and I have discovered that some things never change. I have the older games to keep my subsim fix in check. If the developers learn what crash dive means, I might give this a second glance.
