I much prefer WWII as a time period: submarine warfare had really begun to make great strides and was not yet overly-automated. It is rather like the comment made by the captain in the film "Enemy Below" when he tells his IWO that sub warfare was more of a challenge in WWI; captains had to work harder to compute speed, range, etc. while in WWII the captains looked through the scope, fed the data into the TDC and the computations were done for him. I wouldn't like the more primative aspects of WWI warfare (i am no math major), but I find the almost totally automated "point and shoot" of modern Cold War methods and technology a bit off-putting.

Like TLAM said before and I can attest personally, it ain't as easy as you make it out to be. Try it, just once.

The problem with cold war subs is (IMO at least) they're too sterile and detached from the environment. To see what i mean, play a type 21 Uboat in SH3, but.......Never surface, and don't check the limited battery charge realism option. So, you only need to stick the snorkel up once a day to refresh O2.
That means, no real worries about fuel. No need to crash dive, none of the stuff that is part and parcel of a diesal boat. Just cruise around submerged all the time, never seeing the light of day, nor sunrise, sunset, no night surface attacks, etc etc. Booooorrrrriiiiinnnngg..... |

For a cold war era sub there is a whole host of dangers unknown to a WWII era boat. Most definitely is the Hunter Killer Sub, second is the ASW Aircraft (True ASW aircraft not Seaplanes with Depth Charges tacked on). Its hardly boring, there is a threat out there and you may not know it until it fires a torpedo. Aside from a plane coming out of the sun, or a 'can charging out of the fog a WWII sub generally knows when an enemy is approaching. In SH1,2 and 4 I can't think of any time the enemy has really surprised me (the only time I ever seem to die is when I attack), in SC and DW enemy forces have gotten the jump on me many times (I've died and not known the enemy was there lurking in my baffles... I still remember that one ML). |

I really really really really really...
really really really really want the Imperial Japanese Navy represented for SH6.
Think about it!! Midget subs!! Kaiten!!! The Long Lance torpedeo!! Enough range to go ANYWHERE!! Also, it would be cool if it were possible to play it in tandem w/a flight sim where you could fly the floatplane launched from the various subs which could carry same.

There isn't going to be an SH6.

I can see an SH6. Just not in the next uh... 8-10 years, probably not until someone else buys the license from Ubi. Given how Ubi's been going, I wouldn't be surprised if the company itself ceased to exist by then and their former brands (including SH) wouldn't theoretically be up for grabs.
And well, there's plenty of ways in which modern combat would be interesting, but I don't think it has place in the SH ethos. The worst thing to do would be to take the preceding SH's game flow and simply project it into the modern era - i.e. you still do the same sorts of things, just faster and with a few extra gadgets. Getting bombed by jet fighters? Chasing merchant convoys? Tonnage war? Gimme a break! That'd be a real disservice to what the modern submarine's actual jobs are. |
