U-boats
« on: April 29, 2002, 09:11:14 AM »
So, I was watching NOVA on PBS yesterday afternoon and saw a couple of re-runs on submarines both of today and yesterday era. And I got this bug inside me to go pokin around in a U-boat. At what point in time does AH plan on including these? Other than 2 weeks, all you smart-*sses Also to combat these new additions will we also be able to take command of a Destroyer or will you have to hunt with the existing PT-boats?

 Make mine a type IX please...

Nobody knows at the moment, even HT might not know. In an interview some months ago HT mentioned including U-boats/Submarines. How it will be done, when it will be done we don't know, personally i hope very soon, hopefully the version after the new bomber stuff has been added but I wouldn't bet on it.

I bet we will see FPS using troops before you will see submairines.  The ground war isnt all that grand for Aces high i think that needs to be worked on first...

The interview with HTC where he mentioned subs is at The Wargamer, http://www.wargamer.com in the archieves.  The interview took place at the AH Convention last year.
