Game suggestion: naming Uboats with individual numbers

[stewie888]

During the war numeration for the sub reached the thousand. Instead of labelling ALL type II-A U-5, ALL typeIIB U-7... etc, why each player can get its own personal and unmodifiable numeration. Maybe for type IIA, everybody sould have the same numeration U-5. But for each submaribe build by the player, it should get a progressive numeration.
Example:
If I am the first player in the server to build a sub, let's say IIC, It should be named U-1; the second player to build a sub, lets say a 7A, will get the name U-2 and so on. The point is that there sould be NOT two subs with the same number. (except for the immediately available IIA).

Thousand of player, means subs numbers reaching thousands: ex. U-1234

However, this woun't be anachronistic and statistic and fame would be easily recognised to a specific U-boat and not to a player.

the player is the one who guides the sub and makes the decisions
in past the Captains were famous, the boat number not so much, was most of the time connected to the Captain

Hi stewie888.

I once had U-35 thrice !! Unbelievable Imagine, what a mess that was
I like your idea.... but why isn´t here just a simple digit-editor to choose your own number ? Would be a start...
Maybe someone , sometime, somewhere will hear our calls.

The idea is great and I will add it to our database as suggestion

However, please keep in mind that the development of the game is currently on hold, so there will not be any changes in the near future.

More information about that can be found here: http://forum.silenthunteronline.com/...-Status-Update

Hi BB_Wolfberry.

It seems there was a time when numbering was beyond 35....and someone dropped it

Hi all,

What is the history of that capture Hammerhead?. Background colour, Port name, Tonnage record icon at bottom,

Number difference and players choice.

Can you imagine with wolf-pack icon and boats present trying to jump away to re-position or emergency return to base with say 5 U35's present due to popular choice. I know any Chinese players would seek U8 for luck.

Some preset numbering is being used in game it just needs a good number random generator and checker for group classes and i am wondering that tonnage icon may have been used for this if shot is real and not just a what if (not employed graphic shot.) It certainly is a different game.

Greetings Bordegar.

Don´t get confused.
That picture shows an early state of developement in SHO timeline. Maybe it is even before closed beta, who knows.
You can still find lots of pics on internet.
Before BB_Wolfberry there was someone called BB_Langustor and many other BB`s that i never have met.
They could tell you more about that project and its progress. I wish i could travel back in time and participate in closed beta.

That icon you mentioned, was supposed to be "credits" not tonnage. Surely every captain got tons of PP´s and credits... just for testing :-)

And these numbers... LOL... I once had U-35 three times.. wasn´t funny. First one built, second one built and forgot to reset blueprints (damn stupid!) and the third one was given back by support after technical issues/ loss. And it had , of course , U-35 :-))))

Therefore i am interested in some "flexible choices".



another one...

check this one out.... awesome campaign and another bunker in Brest :-)))

Greetings to you and thanks for info..

Campaigns upto level 6 and staging nodes that was leading to Operation Drumbeat I and II in that shot ...another lost opportunity. Maybe it was too big for them in real terms both time and costs. It does answer those glitch nodes Eastern seaboard of America and those leading to the Cape of Africa.

Kind regards

Ahoi, HammerheadShark.

... Maybe it is even before closed beta, who knows. ...

Fine, fine. :-)

Yes, this pictures are from the period to the beginning of the pre-beta.
Belong thus to the alpha test version.
In the closed beta version already has been used, which we are now accustomed.
