New Subtypes

[Chris-mas_Time]

Dear Developers,
first of all I like to say, that your game is fascinating and full of new variants of gameplay. We (The Subsim Community) wanted a new Silent Hunter and I can say, here it is :)
Now I like to ask you, if you have any plans to invert some new Subtypes like the Type IX or maybe the XXI for later Days in War. The Type IX in Versions B and C we're also build much times like the VII C.
At least, I can't wait for the new Subpens for our harbours to fully repair our Boat after a hot Patrol :)
Keep it up and my best regards

Then they see, what the players like to play :)

[Dewgle]

True, and the devs have in fact responded to this question in a pinned message at the top of General Discussion as seen here:

Theres only the speech about the XX, not the IX Boats...
Are you a mod or something? Keep it like it is and over. I know there are are few Threads about that, don't need Links or Screenshots about last Threads. Read it, maybe write some other ideas, the game could need and its good

[Dewgle]

Nah, I wish.
We get identical threads like this every few days/weeks. It's easier to just provide a link to a past thread where it was discussed before than to try and rehash the same discussion over and over ad infinitum. Ruby, the actual forum mod has tried to pin answers to these questions but nobody reads them.

It's nothing personal against you, Chris. It's just deja vu.

[Chris-mas_Time]

Okay, then I'm sorry :) Some guys are a bit toxic and I thought you are one of them.

Well, I know, most of the people here can't read the official posts whyever. For me it was more a remembrance and a praise for the good work they did

[Dewgle]

I am very sorry if I came off that way. And you're absolutely right, the pinned message addressing new sub types could be more detailed to cover other sub types. That message is actually quite old.

Ruby, if you're reading this, I really think we need a new pinned message with an updated response from the devs on their plans to include new sub types.

IF they still want to include new sub types,
And what those new sub types would be, if any.

And Chris, if you're interested I actually started a poll for everyone to vote on their favorite sub type which you can participate in here:
https://strawpoll.com/polls/eNg693WLnAk

At the time of this comment there are 181 votes in total
65 votes for the XXI
65 votes for type IX variants
18 votes for type II variants
15 votes for additional type VII variants
14 votes for type XXIII variant
4 votes for a type I variant

[Chris-mas_Time]

Oh, thats cool, very nice idea :D I really forgot the other subtypes like the Type II. Last time I used it, was in SH3 with Open Horizons Mod *___*

[Replica-2501]

More types of U-boat would be cool, but if the devs added a schnellboot, the game would instantly become the only good torpedo boat simulator currently on the market.

"-Historic buildings and districts.
-Populated with cars on the streets and approaching trains."

This makes me believe that there will be new submarine(s) in the updates.

I would be happy if they simply added surface search radars

Uboats didn't really use search radars, captains were afraid it would be detected by Allied ASW forces.

They certainly used radars, thats why they developed so many variants. Some captains where afraid, sure, but not all. And it should be upto us to use or no...

Never said it wasn't 🙂 Was just pointing out their historical context where U-boats were concerned.

[Chris-mas_Time]

Radar could be an Option for XXI Submarines. It's more an Late War Technology and would be perfect on a Submarine in Late '44
