I like the game alot, but your video has helped me to work out where to position my ship and when to fire the torpedoes. Thanks a million . I hope that as the game develops you will continue to make game play vids.
Maybe you already know but when you get your scope up you might want to keep an eye top left of the screen on the ESM scale It indicates how powerful radar emissions are, using a sensor on the scope Keep it up !
Sd2 is still being worked on... give it time .. mite get better like games like Hell Let Loose..they have a road map too and easy and basic too for a steamdeck gameplay.
"You shouldn't have to register an online account for an offline game!" Man, if only you knew. Upon release, Silent Hunter 5 was one of the first games (together with Assassin's Creed II) that used Ubisoft's then-new "always online" DRM. Meaning you could only play the game while you were connected to the internet. The game would boot you out if you lost your internet connection. The Uplay services were actually DDOS-ed not long after launch, and you couldn't play both games for several days. Dark times.
Can you do a tutorial on how to get SH5 to work in 2024?? I used to play a few years back and I loved it, but when I built my new system which is 10x more powerful than my last one, I cant get the game to work. I can navigate the main menu and I can start a new campaign, etc.. but I cant get it to actually load in. HOW DID YOU GET IT TO WORK??😭😭
You should have a look at Wolf Pack, very limited external view but that could change. In early access now. It actually makes you feel like you in the movie DAS BOOT. Note you dont need bots to play, but the there would be NO crew.
Uboat is far superior, I have both but SD2 is and feels like a mobile game on PC. I was saddened about how a MicroProse game would be such a basic game, MicroProse used to be the sim game giant. Wants a real sub game go for Uboat, want something you can play for 5 minutes in an arcade fashion, get SD2 on sale.
I love them both for different reasons, mostly because of the theatres involved but each has different quality of life additions that make each feel different enough. Uboat wins overall for me though because of the seemless cut from exterior to full interior.
nobody plays vanilla silent hunter. not the best comparison... since most of us are hardcore players and would play them modded. would like another video for sh3 and 5 modded
uboat at 100% realism + mods has the same hardcore realism feeling as SH 5 fully modded, plus it has A LOT more things (missions, crew management, events ...) than sh5 just doesnt have.
Literally see the squares for the splash particles at 11:05. Repeating ocean patterns everywhere. Good god this is a lazy development team, and a pretty garbage sim.
Both games are crap, buggy like hell. Don't believe me? Read the negative reviews about Uboat... reviewers all complain about how buggy and unfinished the game is.
@@warmaster.gaming It’s a bug i think so make sure you make a few saves because you can’t repair flooded engines at sea nothing happens clicking on them . I tried to limp back on battery’s but run out of those as well and crushing myself just loads my save back up stuck again so proper stuck now on that save 😂
@@warmaster.gaming Thanks but It don’t yet I got it in the end last night it’s on roadmap though. Works fine on my Rog Ally on desktop mode controls though so no biggie. Pretty good game actually it’s got all the essentials you would expect from a sub Sim without all the long winded torpedo plotting and multi screens and extra bells and whistles, kind of nice you just say do it and crew intelligent enough to listen and act cuts out all the monotonous stuff so I prob play this one a fair bit
I know this isn't a posh sim like silent hunter or Cold waters with all the advanced hi techi-techi controls for torpedo's and such . But I'm a Dad/grandad and I don't have the time or the wits anymore to mess about with protractors and slide rules and TDC's to wok out if or when my torpedo will hit. I just wanna sink something now and then ...you know for fun, not a job.
Silent Service 2 on Amiga was more immersive than this one, even if it has some like 2003 PC graphics. Bummer MicroProse, thought we're up to something nice here.
for 12 bucks on steam less than the cost of a gourmet coffee and a donut something you just piss or crap out in a few hours its worth it to support it in my personally opinion
@@TheGimpy117 Agree, SH4 has excellent mods, even audio from the movie Below. I just do not get it. Of course small studios cannot afford high tech looks, but then why they do it? They could go for the simulation aspects at least, walk the boat, control its engines as in real life like proceed on 2 or 3 generators, simulate the systems and their faults, maintenance, crew management, the little details, those can support a fanbase. But a game with weak graphics, weak simulation, weak immersion... they should have some self respect and not pursue this, so far this game appears to be bound to failure.
I get today's simulations are appreciably more complex than the vaunted MicroProse titles of yore, but this feels like a cellphone game even just watching it.
Modding capability is a extreme must, it just extends the games life massively if the base game is at least ok. Not to mention the amount of content such as nations, weapons, ships and mechanics it would add.
