Default Sequel to the Silent Hunter series

Does anyone know if Ubisoft is going to publish a sequel to the Silent Hunter series, it's a shame that SH5 was a bit lackluster but they have stumbled on quite possibly the perfect format of a submarine sim and it could be so much more.

I would bet no. Unless the up-and-comers like Uboat or Crush Depth take off like gangbusters enough to tempt them.


I think there is still room for an SH6. One of the things that I would like to see is a physics-based interaction of the water and the hull of the uboat. Rather than fake spray effects that happen at a certain "touch point", real, interactive water. Water that sloshes correctly around the hull, against the crew, down the hatches.


Correct flooding models. If your compartment is 2% flooded but the floor grating in the middle of the hull you shouldn't be standing in water.


I'd like to see more and accurately-behaved crew on the shipping. Guns and depth charges manned. I'd like to see characters on deck get tossed about/overboard when the ship takes hits. Be cool to see thrashing, burning crewman flinging themselves into the sea. I want more activity during sinking - crewman jumping overboard, lowering of lifeboats (with correct physics). I'd like all of this in huge variety. Maybe sometimes the crew abandon ship just at the sight of the uboat pulling into guns range.


I'd like to see some really sneaky Q-ships that you can't tell from other models in the game that they are Q-ships until the little characters on the ship pull the tarps off of the hidden guns or split open a crate to reveal a twin Bofors.



Basically each ship and sub in the simulation needs to be a discrete "theater" with correct and sophisticated modeling at the micro level.


I think the games operate well enough at the macro level currently.

As far as I have seen, no sequel to SH5 is in sight.

The best game that takes the spirit of SH5 and "forgives" it is UBOAT, IMO. Worth checking out.

I honestly think the WW2 sub simulator is done for.

The genre has dozens of not hundreds of games from the 70,s to 2023, and they are making another one based on the board game U-Boot… and it honestly looks exactly like U-Boat!

Modern naval submarine simulators are going to be your next upcoming genre. A lot of the older modern submarine classified information is now out there for the public, so it’s going to be a field day for creators to come up with more games like it. And I’m not talking games like Cold Waters, but actual, you are the captain inside the command room of a nuclear sub, style simulator!

Yes a bit confusing that one DeepWater Studio made the pc UBoat Game then Iron Wolf Studio (developers of Destroyer TUBH) made a board game based upon the Pc game with a companion app and now that the board game is out of print another company called “out of the ordinary’ is making a Pc version ofthe board game

Bah! Stuff Ubisoft! I love the Silent Hunter series, but Ubisoft ain't what it used to be, so they can keep their, "UPlay" and carry on pulling the rug out from under old customers. I've passed on several recent games due to them being from Ubisoft.

Microprose is back and doing great things. Maybe they'll give us a modern version of the, "Silent Service" series, like they're working on for, "B-17: The Mighty Eighth" and the rest of the B-17 games.
