Silent Hunter 5 - Torpedo reload sequence

Here's a preview of the upcoming Ubisoft game Silent Hunter 5. To discuss this and other sub games, dive to SUBSIM: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/forumdisplay.php?f=244

In this clip, a salvo is fired at a battleship. It is early in the war and the German torpedoes were prone to premature detonations, as happens here. Then you get to see the player climb down the ladder, move through the U-boat to the forward torpedo room to supervise the reloading sequence.

Also: note for testing purposes, the player's internet connection was interrupted. The game was not affected. Also note, this is a preview version, it is not the final game.

Final note: yeah, that is a German BB, Bismark. :) I discovered its captain was dating my girl while I was on patrol.

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.

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 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.

Cool you can watch your crew load it, too bad the game has the worst interface since FreeCiv rofl

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.
