Silent Hunter 5 ventures into uncharted territory and takes players behind the periscope of a German U-boat to take on the Allied Forces in famous battles across the vast Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. For the first time in the history of the series, players can live the life of a submarine captain from a first-person view and lead a crew in a critical campaign.
Play in FPS view, Lead Your Crew and Sink Ships
Your job as Captain is to manage your crew. They are trained soldiers in the elite Ubootwaffe, so you don’t need to babysit them in order to do their job. You can be sure that no matter what, they’ll be at their post, doing their job and will even solve any problems that appear.
Like their historical counterparts, your crew will become better as they gain battle experience. Their evolution is up to you, and knowing what abilities and specializations to choose is one of the most important decisions in the game.
- Skill Points: In order to learn new abilities, you need to have skill points available. Skill points are earned by completing objectives and sinking enemy ships.
- Morale system: While going on the sea, for a long period, the sailor becomes more fatigued day by day. The morale will decay over time for each crew member, as long as they are going on the sea.
Officers and petty officers will use their morale pool as the main resource for activating their special abilities. Morale is gained back each time an enemy ship is sunk, or an objective is complete.
Captain leadership value will be added as bonus points for all crew members’ morale pool. The morale can be also restored by using some special abilities or awarding medals. - Abilities Overview: To learn an ability, you have to open the NPC upgrade page and click on the ability icon. Abilities will unlock based on the veteran level of the crew member, which means that not all abilities will be available from the beginning of the game. Abilities have different ranks, which define ability efficiency and mode to use. An ability can be active (requires activation) or passive (once learned will be active). Passive abilities do not require an activation cost (morale) and will not consume morale once activated.
Completing the campaign objectives and following the historical events through the dynamic campaign, the player will advance in rank and position. When the player becomes captain, the progression will not stop. From that point on the experience points will increase his leadership, grant renown, and add skill points.
Leadership value will add as a bonus value for each crew member’s morale pool. In other words, the more experienced the captain becomes, the more efficiently the crew will perform.
Skill points are obtained from renown points. Skill points are used to upgrade crew member’s active and passive abilities.
