I guess I will give a shot at a request. Probably not doable unless there is a mad scientist able to tackle this. Enjoying the game but one big disappointment for me in SH5 was not taking the ships you attack to the next level. There some positives, flames shooting from portholes, holes in the hull more detailed, etc. But there are a few things I wish they could have done in this series:
1. The CREW. In SH4 at least they died. Now they stroll around casually with their ship in flames. There is so much potential to make them randomly react.
-Entering and exiting doors (no doors opening, just more crew on deck, sometimes less).
-Trying to put the fire out
-Grabbing fire hose
-Rolling on the deck on fire
-Jumping overboard
-Trying to lower lifeboats (what happened to lifeboats?)
-Screaming (not always can be rare)
Since the main focus of the game is sinking ships, IMO I think having details like this make it that much more enjoyable. I would watch every ship I sank to see how the crew reacted. The small chance of watching someone jumping overboard on fire would make the hunt that much more fun.
2. More realistic ship damage, listing, not breaking apart so much (or completely). Most here probably heard rants about the MASTS. They bounce off the ships still like a ball. I think ships sink a bit too easy.
However for all I know, the game engine does not support this. Anyway, just a nerd's observations on my first few patrols and wondered if I was only one who thought this. Happy hunting.
