I bought bought Silent Hunter IV and V from Amazon for under $7.00 each as downloads. Both work fine and I haven't come across any bugs. I think the sims are excellent and I intend to add some good mods to each to improve their looks and behavior. I need to learn to use the games better but unlike many of the vulgar here, I think it is excellent and well worth what I paid for each.
2:17 - 2:20 is the most important part of loading a torpedo. Look closely and watch as an experienced crew member softly and calmly massages the torpedo in a circular clockwise motion. The reason the player looks away is because of a very private and touching moment when the sailor leans in for a final kiss, and depending on the type of torpedo, a bit of tongue.
btw you was firing on bismarck.... but i think you know that.. and premature detonation may be caused cuz of you firing salvo.. if you realy need to use more torps on one ship do it with bigger pause between shots. so you fire tube 1. wait 5-10sec and fire tube 2 and so on
This game's aim is BULLSHIT. I can't fucking hit anything that is farther than 400m. EVEN when it's standing. Also, i packed up 6 torps in a MERCHANT ship, and it didn't blew up. When i was far enough, it did. I had 2% realistic.
im having a problem with this game, ive looked everywhere for a answer and now youtube is my last hope, i cant play this game cause i havnt got a num pad which means i cant go rudder amidships so i cant controll my boat properly and the idiots at ubisoft didnt give us an option to change the controlls does any1 have the answer? i really like this game and really wanna play it.
and the manual included is so bad, i would not wipe my ass with it even if it were the last piece of paper on earth, it never fails to amaze me how 'so called' game designers can be so fucked at their jobs, good design is function above form, what is the point of owning a can opener if it only looks good but does not work... shelve it... we vote with our money...
the bugs can be fixed; isnt the much more worrying aspect of this game its whole philosophy. whilst trying to satisfy the submarine geeks who made the series succsesful, its also attempting to encourage main stream gamers with its arcade quality. in the end it fails at both.
i got a torrented copy of this game and i cant even finish first mission ive sunk roughly 200 tons of merchant ships in the 50 ton requirement zone on the coast of Britain and for some reason none of it counts. ive went to the designated place's which was 3 in total if i recall sense ive been playing all day, and still nada.
2 bugs.......1st the planes fly right over you and dont attack even if you shoot at them. 2nd warships cannot be hurt by the deck gun with any kind of ammo. I thought the Armor piercing shot or High explosive shot would do the trick but it doesnt. Overall i give it a 2/5 since ubi still has the chance to patch these problems but if they arent fixed soon im going yo return the game and never buy from ubi again. I just hope future games arent this buggy.
luckily, i got a pirate version of it. if i had to pay for it id be complaining imediatly!!! were are all the 52 sailors? why cant we interact whit eveeryone of them? they dont sleep or rest and the main caracters are always on duty? come on! be serious. sh4 is far better
To be honest I don't give a damn about interacting with the crew or having the ability to walk around the sub. What I want is having all features of a Captain fully working with a good GUI and Eye candy as second.
Why on Earth I want to know how is the WIFE of a sailor in a WWII submarine Game. Yeah, you ask it once and thats it, I will never bother yourself again asking the same thing by having always the same answer. Why do I, as a captain, need to visit the submarine's compartments? I spend all the time either on periscope or on tactical map. I whish they had spend more time of testing the game rather than developing the subs compartments. What a waste of development time.
@MINIHermanator damn right... i actually downloaded this game illegally but i promise to buy it soon because it kick ass and those peoples who made the game deserve my money!
this game is full of bugs,two i can think of are: 1. i cant get my men to man the deck gun or the flak gun the guy shouts the order but nothing happens. 2.enemy planes fly right over me but do not attack me. i only got this game yesterday considering taking it back already.hope they patch it and sort it out like SH4 i might go back to SH4.
Hi guys, I'm a huge fan of the series but so far i've read mixed reviews for that one. So how is compared to SH:4 U-boat missions? I'm asking here because I am more liable to trust other fans who bought it than some people payed to shoot it down in flames.
The only bonus the new version has in dynamic mission. So, unlike the previous games, your actions in this one affect the events in the war. DRM, a terrible UI, and shit controls is what hurts this game a lot. The bugs don't do much for it either. There's also useless RPG elements included such as having to roam around the sub asking your crew questions to improve morale. The way I see it, if you're kicking ass, that's a more realistic morale boost.
Thanks for the insight; I find it weird to play without the shortcuts. I think that they represent the real vocal commands better than having to run around the ship clicking and choosing what do say while there are depth charges around you. Although it's been a dream for me to run first person in a U-boat, they should have kept the shortcuts. I recon I will buy it for the good times' sake. I really hope there is patch soon to fix the bugs
Yeah, in a real sub a captain wouldn't be running around doing everything himself. It's almost like you're by yourself and the crew is just there to keep you company and eat your food. I have nothing against being able to free roam, but keeping the shortcuts adds to the option of giving orders instead.
@Snapscape today i sinked HMS Ark Royal (one of the big ass carriers of the Queen) while it was docked at Plymouth (it took me 2 hours to get close to the goddamn carrier because of alle the fucking patrolling destroyers) so i will never see it in the game right?
@Snapscape You don't realize how scary it is to be in a submarine.
At any moment your could smash into something, be it a ship or rock or sea mine, at any moment the engine could overheat and fail, at any moment the ship could decompress and crush the entire crew.
If the commander does not "Talk" to the crew than he can not give orders, if he does not talk to the crew he can not make effective decisions.
@NazarovVv A German friend of mine is an avid follower of the series but he pretty much refuses to play this one lol, largely because of their approach to copy-protection and the fact that you need to remain connected to ubi to play. Apart from that he says its taking the wrong direction and makes too many compromises to appeal to a wider audience, like so much other crap out there. I'm tired of the console market approach ruining things for PC gamers.
Dunno, I like the effort put into this game with the crew and all that, but the torpedo targeting-dumbed down version from the previous versions will need some time to get used to.
rofl what a response, and less than 30 min later his account is closed. What a waste of space.
the game isnt bad people, its got its issues, its not perfect and the drm is giving ligit users nightmares. but even with that chaos its a fun sim. just dont expect it to be perfect and understand ubi has issues at the moment. might wait a bit before you pick it up. so they can work out a few major bugs.
Note AC2 also had a lot of drm activation issues this weekend..so its not just one game.
again Ubisoft punishes its paying users with crappy DRM that just absolutely fails. Requiring a constant internet connection instead of just a quick verification every time the game starts is just a pain in the butt. It ruins the simulation and frustrates the consumer. While pirates simply bypass the issue and enjoy the game.
Ah oh well, this is still a fun sim. I just hope it doesnt have the same savegame issues that sh4 had, that was a major game breaker.
actually i found out the DRM is still in effect. The crack is only 1/2 working. Pirated versions cant unlock anything past the 1st major set of missions in the sp campaign. Once you kill your amount of ships..it never updates. So eventually you run out of time.
So ubi's drm is still working, but its not stopping pirates from stealing, or using the software. They can only use the features up to a point..at least until someone figures out how to unlock everything.
WOW mega realism they re doing it SO fast. Where is the rest of the crew to help them! Probably they re cleaning u-boot becouse it is clear inside as a crystal XD
those changes after five years (SH3) makes me laugh
Why go through all the hassle of making detailed 3d models and then give them the most boring and unrealistic animations possible?
And there are no torpedos stored in the torpedo room and instead they magically come into existence when they are needed? wtf?
Just a tiny bit more effort and it would have been perfect but when graphics are so close to "perfection" these relatively small flaws throw you completely out of the experience.
Ubisoft has stumbled deep into the Uncanny Valley here.
WWII torpedos had a cloacking device to make they invisible, so that the trained torpedo-destroyer-cute dolphins (that escorted allied ships) didn't see them.
ubisoft has made a complete new lvl of silent hunter and it truly looks amazing!
Look at the detail of the enterior ok maybe where they eat and some tops are missing but who cares? crew commanding is awesome!. im definiatly going to buy this! hmmm and the war is from 1939 -1943 doesnt matter. i think there maybe will be an later expansion with the two remaining years and some xd-2 uboats ut still i think we can expect much from this game DRM or not!:)
That's the most pitiful looking animation-sequence I've EVER SEEN in my entire gaming life.
Leave it to Ubi to fuck up the only redeeming feature in their own game. Honestly, what a joke.
Coupled with the horrible DRM policy, it makes SH5 a complete waste of money and effort, unless crackers and modders can find a way to make it less of a shitstorm.
I bought it too, but only because I didn't want to bother waiting for the crack, and because it will get better when the modders have a crack at it, but that doesn't change the fact that the game as it is right now is horribly under-developed.
I've no idea what Ubi was thinking. The graphics are about the only step forward.
Can't wait to see it cracked with a proper release however; Ubisoft deserves to burn for this.
So... what's the point of being able to move throughout the boat when the crew look like they're about to fall asleep standing up? Would it really be that hard to animate a sense of urgency? They're in a battle for christ's sake, not school detention.
Well , so far all screenshots and videos ive seen always show just two torps.
Normally the whole bow compartment would be full of torpedoes with some hanging on the ceiling and one compartment walls but that would make a dozen different and complex loading animations for the crew necessary.
So i guess all we get are two torps lying on the floor with a new one simply appearing once one gets loaded.
FYI this is a Beta version for testers, the "lock" buttons are optional and set up for newbie difficulty. If anybody has ever played any of the Silent Hunter games then you would know that it goes from easy and fun to extremely realistic and addicting.
I hope this is WIP. Im seeing to much shit in these videos. Where's the rest of the crew? which should be around 20y old, and not stand around not giving a fuck when you just fired a torpedo. Why do they have diffrent clothes? Mixed German & English? Theres a picture of a guy in the water when looking through the periscope!?! "Lock" popping up when looking at ships, the previous games where fine without it! And why is that camera floating around making noises walking without a body & legs? WTF
digital rights management, ubi is making everyone mad becuase the u will have to play the game online and what happens when ubi drops the game from the ubi servers?
The crew look very casual, are they going slow to keep noise down or is it always like that? I don't mind it taking a long time to reload but I'd prefer it if they looked like they were in more of a hurry.
This is really cool looking. I know there are those that complain about stuff being repetitive, and the torpedo load sequence lacks tension, but remember, this is not holly wood, this is a ground breaking sim, with animation that is in its infancy. Plus, don't forget, we are dealing with PCs, which if not set up right will get drug into mollases mode if the graphics are too demanding, and right now I know I don't have enough to upgrade my venerable rig to the cutting edge standards.
Hmm U-boat firing at the Bismarck, I'm sure you will be up for a court martial and prob firing squad for this act of treason.
Apart from your treachery though, its quite novel to see the torps being loaded at all, a few more men and some ropes n stuff would have been good btu I appreciate that its only a game/sim.
I wish they would make a version for mac....

I never realised how fecking long torpedoes were, how on earth did/do they load them into U-Boats...or any submarines for that matter?

Yep, they could easily way over a thousand pounds. They'd move and load them with care, and help of hydraulic lifts.

the torpedo was gone at 3:00 inside the u boat ?!

WWII torpedos had a cloacking device to make they invisible, so that the trained torpedo-destroyer-cute dolphins (that escorted allied ships) didn't see them.

ubisoft has made a complete new lvl of silent hunter and it truly looks amazing!
Look at the detail of the enterior ok maybe where they eat and some tops are missing but who cares? crew commanding is awesome!. im definiatly going to buy this! hmmm and the war is from 1939 -1943 doesnt matter. i think there maybe will be an later expansion with the two remaining years and some xd-2 uboats ut still i think we can expect much from this game DRM or not!:)
Silent hunter 5 for the win!

Was 'premature detonation' what he said at 1:02?
I thought the torps blew a bit away from the ship.

That's the most pitiful looking animation-sequence I've EVER SEEN in my entire gaming life.
Leave it to Ubi to fuck up the only redeeming feature in their own game. Honestly, what a joke.
Coupled with the horrible DRM policy, it makes SH5 a complete waste of money and effort, unless crackers and modders can find a way to make it less of a shitstorm.
F33bs 2 years ago 3
The DRM was cracked less than a few hours ago so that shouldn't be a problem anymore.
I am buying this game but I am so glad that someone found a workaround.
WARP10CK 2 years ago
I bought it too, but only because I didn't want to bother waiting for the crack, and because it will get better when the modders have a crack at it, but that doesn't change the fact that the game as it is right now is horribly under-developed.
I've no idea what Ubi was thinking. The graphics are about the only step forward.
Can't wait to see it cracked with a proper release however; Ubisoft deserves to burn for this.

So... what's the point of being able to move throughout the boat when the crew look like they're about to fall asleep standing up? Would it really be that hard to animate a sense of urgency? They're in a battle for christ's sake, not school detention.

premature ejaculation for 4 torpedoes, come on man!!

I take it that there are always just two torpedos visible in the bow compartment ?
A new one appearing on the floor once one was loaded ?

Wasn't he just low on torps?
chrisakky 2 years ago
I hope so anyway.
chrisakky 2 years ago
Well , so far all screenshots and videos ive seen always show just two torps.
Normally the whole bow compartment would be full of torpedoes with some hanging on the ceiling and one compartment walls but that would make a dozen different and complex loading animations for the crew necessary.
So i guess all we get are two torps lying on the floor with a new one simply appearing once one gets loaded.
Celeon999A 2 years ago
is this fps game? do you get to shoot with guns on the boat?
onbekend59 2 years ago
em...no, not fps
On the other silent hunters you couldn't walk about.
and you do shoot the deck gun and aa guns but i doubt anything else in this game.
chrisakky 2 years ago
FYI this is a Beta version for testers, the "lock" buttons are optional and set up for newbie difficulty. If anybody has ever played any of the Silent Hunter games then you would know that it goes from easy and fun to extremely realistic and addicting.
partyboy41 2 years ago
I hope this is WIP. Im seeing to much shit in these videos. Where's the rest of the crew? which should be around 20y old, and not stand around not giving a fuck when you just fired a torpedo. Why do they have diffrent clothes? Mixed German & English? Theres a picture of a guy in the water when looking through the periscope!?! "Lock" popping up when looking at ships, the previous games where fine without it! And why is that camera floating around making noises walking without a body & legs? WTF

digital rights management, ubi is making everyone mad becuase the u will have to play the game online and what happens when ubi drops the game from the ubi servers?
bclmax 2 years ago 2
The crew look very casual, are they going slow to keep noise down or is it always like that? I don't mind it taking a long time to reload but I'd prefer it if they looked like they were in more of a hurry.

Oh, Silent Hunter, Assasines Creed and I guess Splinter Cell will be the same... I saved lot's of money due to DRM. Great ! Thank you Ubisoft ...

I'm really looking forward to playing this. The DRM thing irritates me, but if the game is good I suppose it might be worth the hassle.
Or buy it and just apply whatever cracks come out later to remove the DRM.

look at 3:00 little graphical bug. they could at least remove the torp when it closed

DRM=Great Satan.
It's great SH III has such an amazing modding community. Even if SH 5 insta sinks, It will remain captivating for years to come.
Changes are it takes some years before SH 5 has been modded to working condition:p
...and that is assuming enough modders manage to forgive the sins of DRM to make the effort.
By the looks of it, you can dual class as Kensai Mage in SH5.. which is AWESOME.

michalbradw 2 years ago
This is really cool looking. I know there are those that complain about stuff being repetitive, and the torpedo load sequence lacks tension, but remember, this is not holly wood, this is a ground breaking sim, with animation that is in its infancy. Plus, don't forget, we are dealing with PCs, which if not set up right will get drug into mollases mode if the graphics are too demanding, and right now I know I don't have enough to upgrade my venerable rig to the cutting edge standards.

Well they are not under pressure for an very easy reason: As the Bismarck isnt classified as an enemy they dont need to hurry...thats what i suppose
RuppenthaI 2 years ago
Hmm U-boat firing at the Bismarck, I'm sure you will be up for a court martial and prob firing squad for this act of treason.
Apart from your treachery though, its quite novel to see the torps being loaded at all, a few more men and some ropes n stuff would have been good btu I appreciate that its only a game/sim.
I voted excellent enayway.
