Selv om kanskje ubåtserien Silent Hunter er nisjespill, så er det faktisk en del som liker spillene og bruker mye tid på å kjøre rundt i en trang ubåt mens den ene torpedoen etter den andre fyres av mot fientlige skip. I dag har vi fått vite at det vil bli lansert en utvidelse til Silent Hunter 4: Wolves of the Pacific som har fått undertittelen U-Boat Missions. Denne utvidelsen vil inneholde nye oppdrag og flere ubåter.
Her er mer info om utvidelsen fra utvikleren selv:
- German Campaign in the Indian Ocean: The new campaign spans from July 1943 until end of war, in May 1945. Players will operate from such far off Japanese naval bases as Penang, Singapore, Jakarta and Surabaya.
- Strategic Warfare: As the player rises in rank and experience he gains access to new strategic resources such as recon aircraft that track down enemy shipping and even battle groups that can help wipe out superior enemy forces.
- New Playable Submarines: Take to the seas in the long range Type IX-D2 U-boat and the revolutionary Walther propulsion type XVIII U-boat. Learn the strengths and weaknesses of these boats and how you can overcome even elite late war allied destroyers with high speed hit and run attacks.
- Heroes: Based on actual historical figures, these new crewmembers add a number of special abilities that can change the fate of battle and save the ship when the time is right, as well as adding historical color to the game.
