I find that its the small tiniest details that throw me a curve ball and ruin my immersion in sims so its great to read this stuff.Please also simulate stuff like enemy ships sending SOS messages and planes in the area responding.I just attacked a freighter right off coast of Poland with the deck gun(I could see their port with binos) and I got one of those feelings that I should be attacked by a plane.Stuff like this is where realism shines.Attacking with deck gun and having to run decks awash while anticipating enemy retaliation is missing in SH series,or rather I have never experienced it before.
EDIT...you cant run decks awash and use the deck gun! DOH
