Funny thing is that for me it's the exact opposite. I love roleplaying the Kaleun who does his duty despite knowing that he's on the "evil" side, that his side is going to lose the war, that his leaders are all madmen.

Fighting for a cause you know is both unjust and hopeless, but doing it anyway, and doing it well, because it is your duty to do so, adds a level of moral ambiguity and shades of grey to the whole affair that I really enjoy. They certainly portray "Der Alte" in Das Boot as someone having to deal with these conflicts.

That being said, I'm looking forward to the missions and the graphics!

For me its going to be the Manned AI boats and LifeRafts. That will add a whole new twist to playing.

And its also about time. SHIII had a little bit of it with the Manned guns on the bigger ships. But SHIV is bringing it in, with everything is manned... To cool.

Do you realy want to know what i want ...well here it is I want a sub so there :roll:

My thoughts exactly. I still have nightmares of SH2's AI:dead:

Looking forward to seeing whether the new and improved weather really is. :up:

I'll tell you when I finally see the game.... :D

The Replay System For me.:up:

The new visuals are great, but having just got back from playing it at the UK preview I'm most looking forward to getting online in a wolfpack with some fellow simmers. It's a lot of fun.

New visual damage. I like punching holes :D

replays of sinkings

Ice cream. If I don't see Bernard's American equivilent sampling a frosty treat Romania will feel my wrath! :x


(The gaping holes torps cause are nice too):up:

The improved dynamic campaign (objectives that change in-game, new types of objectives, more radio traffic, and so on) is probably the #1 feature in my eyes. Then follows the new crew manager. After that, perhaps the improved mission editor.

^^^ Same.

One mainstay dessert was the Submarine Special Ice Cream consisting of frozen grape juice, condensed milk, and diesel fuel. The coctails served on u-boats couldn't come close.
