No really.... where is it??

This is clearly the most important thing the devs need to patch, where else am i going to tip that terrible soup chef keeps making!

Seriously though its an odd ommision since the devs specificaly pointed it out during an interview as an example of the level of detail they were working to for the interiors.

One little thing I'd like to see is on the Leaderboard for it to list 1-100 and YOU. It's become painfully obvious that I'll never ever ever get back in the top 100 due to people with apparently no lives (3m tons sunk, honestly? The guy that took a week off to finish the campaign only got 1m+!) or cheaters.

So it would be nice to at least see your name even if it was #99... #100... #343002 - you! :)

They basically act no different then impact detonation. I can sail a torp almost perfectly under the keel of a ship and the torps refuse to detonate. By perfectly, I mean a gap so small between the bottom of the ship and the torp that the magnetic detonator should be going off - But it doesn't. I've only been able to get my magnetic torps to go off by firing them into the side of the ship itself - Just as an impact torp.

1. Captain seriously needs to stop cross-dressing! Is it just me or does it sound like a woman in high heels is onboard whenever you walk? :doh:

Just you and others! There's been MODS already that change that.

2. I want to use the deck gun or at least be able to walk on the bow of the U-boat.

You can, on both accounts. Move towards and climb down the little ladder rungs just stern of the edge of the conning tower cowling. You can walk the whole deck, which is pretty cool. :)

3. Crew needs to switch clothes when foul weather happens like they did in SHIII.

I think this is a bug and should be fixed with a patch. Till then, you guessed it, the Might Crew mod gives them weather gear for now.

4. Why is there no downtime for the crew? Only a few of them are in their bunks and they never get out of them and do anything? Would be nice to have two of every crew member type and actually see them relieve each other every 8 hours or so. The poor cook is ALWAYS in the kitchen! This is not accurate at all.

This is a little disappointing indeed. Not sure it's something that should be "fixed" in the face of everything else that's broken though. The effort vs payback for this seems low.

5. Why is there no smoking? Would be nice to see a crew member light one up every now and then and leave an ambient smog cloud that lingers in the interior of the sub.

Frame rates are already low enough in the sub, and yeah, see #4 for effort vs payoff.

6. I hate being locked in place and can't move when I click on the obi scope. I should not have super glue on my feet when I click on the obi scope and have to wait for it to raise up.

I don't really understand this one, if it really bothers you just use Shift-PageUp to raise it before you get to it. Nothing that needs to be patched.

7. Please remove all the highlighting. Would be nice for this to be a toggle on / off option. Most of us know what we're looking at and don't need constant highlighting on everything our mouse hovers over.

Already a mod for it, new users probably appreciate it (even though a lot of things are highlighted but can't really be used, ie some crew members and the compressed air dials).

8. Why does my crew ignore me? Shouldn't they be greeting me instead of me greeting them? I am the Captain aren't I?

It's a submarine simulator, not a popularity simulator. See #4 and a therapist. heh

9. Please add back in the small but important things that were in SHIII. Depth under keel, return to course, aiming specifics for the deckgun crew and flak gunner, weather reports, etc.

Again, already modded (sans the target locations that is). These are pretty high on the list of things to "fix" in a patch though, blatant omissions.

10. Please unlock all the campaign dates so that we are not restricted to start from the very beginning of the war. I would like to start at another time period but can't.

Go ahead, you've got the Mission Editor. :) This isn't something UbiSoft needs to "fix" in a patch in my opinion.

11. Ability to delete save games from withing the game menu.

This is pretty important. I've managed to just cycle three, but I can totally see a bunch of them adding up and making things take forever.

This can be done by pressing Esc. then click on Save game, click on a save that you want to delete, and chose delete. Easy. :yeah:

Classic, they've been doing it countless times during those Q&A a la politician way to mask the failures of their game

"strangely" enough, the devs that were connecting to subsim and were reassuring us on everything we suspected as a problem (on which we were right, as we know it now), are not showing up anymore... where are you elanaiba/lead designer now that the game is out... mmm??

By the time of only one day of modding, we corrected many small bugs that required half an hour of our time to beta test and then figured out to solve. Too much things had disappear from past SH though still there hidden and buried in config files and the like! In one year you can't even figure it out and find a simple day of work to do it right?!?
And don't ever tell me those guys are submarine fans also like some people did here before the game was out! They don't even know a watch crew uses binoculars?! C-O-M-E ONnnn! I can understand a conning tower not being to its very exact scale, but a watch crew like that?? They even knew how to do it right before when they worked on SH3 and 4!!! It's not enough they're plaged with poor work organization (seriously, they've not done this much in one year if you take a close look at what is inherited from past SH in the 3d engine and game mechanisms, it's pretty obvious given the major past flaws like AI and the like has not been corrected yet again), but now they're plagued with alzheimer lol

*fix watch crew pointing randomly at anything even if there is nothing, and if there is, make them point toward it, they looks like borned-blind retarded people that suddenly recover the sight and discover the world surrounding us, ecstaticly pointing at trees and the sun and etc. Or, as one said here, on hallucinogenic drugs. Annoying and breaks the immersion on being on a serious warship. Seriously, this entire crew looks like a bunch of whining undisciplined small kids. They even dissobey orders it seems if their moral is low! I thought in Q&A you said somewhere they were soldiers and will always do their job regardless of morale, but less effectively. LIARS!!
Gonna have to do a "court martial your crew" mod lol

*kick that guy out of the UZO!!!!! UZO is meant to be used during an attack for pete's sake! Not to watch&spot ships! seriously... what was the point of organizing a travel to a real sub abroad and spending money in that if your knowledge of u-boat warfare is so few you would thing the UZO also served as the only binocular for the watch crew to spot things... Buy and read some books, it costs far less and would do you good


the "game" is simply that: a very promising U-boat sim develpment toolkit, but nothing else. As a modder, i'm pretty happy with the money I spent because of that, i can understand dellusion for people that are not.
