Hitech,

I remember reading a few years back in an interview that you wanted to add a layer to the water and add some submarines. Is this still something you are looking at pursuing after TOD or did you change you mind in regards to development on this? Thanks in advance for your time.

How many cases of Scotch for a Los Angeles class nuke sub? That could make NDIsles an interesting map

That would cost a lifetime supply.

The price of such a quantity of scotch would more than surpass the initial capital required to hire a crack team of coders, 3d modelers, and 2d artists, to create a new game based solely on submarines, and then pay for rent during the development period, as well as purchase enough equipment and connections to have a MMO sim server and so forth.

You're better off just starting your own game company

Yo Krusty, all I'm asking for is one nuke sub...just for me. How hard could that be?

Yo Waffle...let's do lunch.

Hard enough, is my guess

Just go get a copy of Silent Hunter III and enjoy. Submarines in AH2 would be a waste of time and resources for HT --- it would rapidly become apparent that the 35Kt CV group is pretty much immune from a U-boat unless it just happens to run over it.

Proper u-boat tactics will allow a sub to take on a CV group in AH II.

Ya, that's a fun one

Graphics load up with more than 5 or 6 people blowing things up, but still fun.

yep, I remember the subs being mentioned.....2 weeks?

I actually have Silent Hunter III, which is a great game. I haven't played it for a while when I found out it installs some sort of program that weeds into your system. It corrupted my Windows when I tried to just delete it from my system using Windows Exporer. Bad mistake. I didn't know at the time what it was. Anyhow if you liked Silent Hunter III, keep your eyes out for Silent Hunter IV which should be out a little later this year. It will cover the American, Japan war in the Pacific. Should be good.

I am interested in subs in AH II for the diversity it would add to the overall game. Any addition to the game that adds immersion and extra impact I think is great. Would make the fleets battles more interesting and give players more options than just flying or gv fighting. Anyhow I read through previous posts and didn't get the idea that Dale is pursuing the idea any longer. If he changed his direction to the idea that's fine, I'm sure he has more areas in mind to expand the game in a great direction. I'm just curious if he is still considering the idea or going that direction. Best of luck with your fights.

Maybe we could start with making the DEs independent and controllable. I think DE fights would prove as popular as tank battles. Maybe give us the cruiser as a way to waste some perkies. It goes down with two 1000lbers, so it wouldn't be too unbalancing.
