Title: U Boats
Post by: Packack on June 08, 2008, 23:41:04
Tell me what do you think about this: they should have a sinking server and put on German U Boats to sink ships with torpedos. (and some navy ships also!).

The RMS Olympic split U-boat 103 in half during World War I. Her younger sister might nerve some U-boat users, lol.

I think there is a better game for those needs.. in fact, two better games..

Silent Hunter III en IV   ;)

This is not a warfare simulator, and frankly, I prefer it that way.

mabye you could make a MP server with just plain subs?
Title: Re: U Boats
Post by: Mad_Fred on June 09, 2008, 03:53:06
Actually, SHIII does have multiplayer.

And I don't know if you noticed, but what subs? This game has no submarines.  :)

And please, if you have several things to say, do not post them in seperate topics, but please use the modify button to add something to your post, if you think of anything more to say.

Writing several remarks in multiple posts is considere post boosting and mostly frowned upon.

Thanks!

Yes, I shiuldve modified, but its actully kina useless :(. (sorry!) but uhh mabye you could ADD subs to the game?

Submarines or possibly small submersibles, might become a reality one day.

But trust me, this game will never become a Silent Hunter like game for sure.

So perhaps in a future version we'll be able to go submerged, but not in SS08 just yet..   :)

Even though I realy like submarines and submarine warfare. This game is ship simulator not sub simulator.
Title: Re: U Boats
Post by: pauljanaway1 on June 13, 2008, 09:20:58
yes the sub idea has been flooting around for some time also with the militery and guns idea but when on mp would you realy want after 2 hours playing somone with a missile to sink you

1: Not missle, torpedo. ;D

2: Not if your fast.

3: Not if everyones a sub.

Ok packack let me make this clear since Fred obviously hasnt

1. Subs will not have any wepons.
2. This is NOT a war simulator
3. what your suggesting is basically another style of ramming/ causing problems for users on here...

 ::) ::)
Title: Re: U Boats
Post by: pauljanaway1 on June 17, 2008, 16:08:32
if vstep ever put u boats or any thing that could fire a wepon i bet know body would ever play mp as from the ship you cannot see them and im sure they would have lots of compliants for many members and the number of ramming would go thought the roof

There can be no submarines in Ship Simulator 2008 because there is no water in Ship Simulator 2008.

The what's the stuff that the ships move in, concrete? :P
Title: Re: U Boats
Post by: mvsmith on June 18, 2008, 00:05:27
There is a surface, and there is a bottom, and there is nothing in between. The surface is what the ships move “in”.  Nor were the NY piers made of concrete in 1912 as Paul believes. They were wood on wooden pilings.
Title: Re: U Boats
Post by: Ship Sim on June 18, 2008, 04:44:46
Ive looked at the bottom when i was messing around with a bug. theres no bottom just a invisiable layer that acts like a bottom.

Greetings,
I'm pretty sure there will be never subs into this game,specialy to sink vessels.
This sim has came on the market,to manouvre vessels into harbours.
For warfare stuff,and subs you need another game,not shipsim2008.

That’s correct, a depth map—like a DEM.
There is no dirt under the land, either.

maybe that can be sothing they put in the next ship sim water that is there

They will never do that intill they add clear water where you can see the bottom instead of a textures. Or they might add a little when they add tides (possiably).
Title: Re: U Boats
Post by: JHB on June 19, 2008, 09:13:25
Well if this is ever going to happen it must be a huge MP map with some special ground so you at least can hind the submarine behind something. It sounds like a dangerous game when several submarines are in the same map. ;D

I think this is a better idea for a game like Silent Hunter. I'm crossing my fingers that SS will never end up as a naval warfare simulator ::)
Title: Re: U Boats
Post by: pauljanaway1 on June 19, 2008, 10:01:45
if they put subs in it would kill mp so they wont but even putting a feflection iin the water so it looks more real would be nice
Title: Re: U Boats
Post by: Agent|Austin on June 19, 2008, 10:04:14
paul there are reflections (you can enable them in your Graphics Settings)

And yes this is Ship Simulator I do not believe that a sub is considered a ship.  ;)

if you look there isant the water level is the cut off point for the envrioment when your ship sinks it dose not realy sink the game just cuts the bottom bits off

Revenge for the mine? Because that is more likely than torpedo.

And yes, I got the PM

Add the Olympic, too, so history can repeat itself! ;D

U-BOATS FOR STATIC OBJECTS! ;D

What in the world makes you think that that was why they hit the iceberg??!! Dont you see the Movie? They dont go "Hey lets hit the iceberg cause were so strong." Instead, they try to avoid it. Thats why they have the dramatic musics and guys shouting and steering the wheel.

1. That was a joke.
2. I don't go to the movie for information. Too much dramatic/creative/artistic/cinematic licence for my taste. Not to mention so many prochronisms that it makes it seem that the Titanic is the ship version of the Back to the Future Delorean! :o

Nothing beats years of dedicated research! ;D

But do you think they were thinking that?

If you drive a car on icy road, and are heading for a brick wall, is the first thought you have to steer so the car hits the wall, then find out later that that was the best way to hit it? Or do you think to try to STEER THE HECK AWAY FROM THE WALL!

But the passengers were not. Most would have been killed or seriously injured. Your silly suggestion shows an ignorance of the laws of physics.
If the ship sank from just brushing along the side of the berg, how could she survive being pulled to a dead stop from 21.5 knots in less than 100 feet?

I am a little unclear Marty. What would happen with the ship being stopped so quickly? I think i know but lets see what you have to say.
