Those things are usually pretty easily 'fixed'...

It's probably better to release the game like that. As mentioned before, a Swastika is illegal in Germany, and accurate depictions would probably stir up a bit of controversy. We need as many people as possible buying SH to keep the series going, so that's something it can do without. :yep:

A lot of focus seems to be placed on immersion, more so than in previous releases at least. Having a bit of a ceremony depicted when medals and promotions are awarded should fit in nicely with that goal.

A bit of personalization around the boat, and being able to gander at your cap and tunic would as well. :up:

I can go without Adolf though, but Dowly's proposal is more than acceptable. :salute:

Great idea, add greatly to the immersion and modders could add there own video as well, it would. Hmmmmmm.

One thing I had always imagined was that instead of a 'medal box', there be a screen that shows a tunic, with your rank and insignia added as you earn them. Something that can be zoomed in or rotated, and hovering the cursor over a particular award will show a description...

Maybe even have the option to show (some) of the awards as ribbon bars instead of badges.

something like this (taken from old sim: Luftwaffe Commander)

Yes, with the correct uniform, it would be very good. :up:

this is a great idea. sure its eye candy, but i believe it really would encourage the player to take ownership of his character. i still think the ideal would be as i suggested earlier; ingame have your shore tunic hanging on the wood panelling at the foot of the bunk that gets modified ingame as you gather rank and decorations. when youre enduring the 3rd hour of DCs you can at least checkout your bling.

however, if thats omitted from the game then perhaps the above idea could atleast be included in a mod like a subcommander type thing?!
