There is a DEV Q&A post over on the Ubi Forum with a few interesting responses. I know we don't usually post links, but I though some might find the initial responses interesting.

i find this comment xtremely troubling:

Quote:

How much freedom will we be seeing/getting? Are we able to navigate from the rear torpedo room all the way to the forward torpedo room seamlessly or will it be more like SHIV, click on a ladder/door/hatch to enter the next submarine section?

The player will have full access everywhere inside the submarine. Just like in any other first person game and just like a real captain had. But remember, you’re not just a camera, you’re the captain. Don’t go sunbathing on the fore deck or you’ll have a long way to go to that conning tower hatch before the sub can dive!
so as i understand itthe way its written, this means if your not where you need to be then there is no click to station feature so you must go through the sub yourself to get to the control room before you can give any orders to your crew.

Im assuming he is upset it was posted there instead of here. I can see why it was posted on the 'official' site.

But I think it would be wise of them to mirror this over here as well. A good deal of this community wont even open the UBI forums ;)

Nope the above is bit misleading as they also said you will be able to switch stations via shortcuts aka SH3/4
You got nothing to worry about. :up:

We’ve changed the water and terrain rendering engine, solving the bugs that prevented this in the previous version and increasing the rendering distance too.

There you go rendering engine changed. Cant wait to see it in action.

To me this comment sounds very appealing. I think it'll add a lot of immersion to the game, as you have to get to every room by yourself. No more magically teleporting:D
Besides, I guess you can give orders about anywhere in the ship. I mean, wouldn't a real U-Boot captain be able to just give commands from anywhere within the boat? I guess the order would just be passed on by other crewmembers:hmmm:

well thats the part i found troubling, if you have to get there then to me that means you cant command the sub from the non command sections of the sub. if you could then there would be no cause for the statement

"you’ll have a long way to go to that conning tower hatch before the sub can dive!"

It has the GoldenRivet Seal of approval thus far.

March 2010 is too damned far away if you ask this skipper.

Theres a very good cause for that statement - you may give the order to dive, but they're not going to dive while the captain's still on deck.

It makes perfect sense, once you have the ability to visit 100% of the sub, you can't have the ability to "teleport" your crew/captain below deck just because you've spotted an enemy. That makes going to the surface and getting your men/officers/captain on the the deck a much more realistic/visceral experience.
I like it, I like it a lot. :yeah: :yeah:
Don't understand why many are :down::down::down:

Or they might dive, but the captain would drown anyways. :rotfl2:
