Your comment reminded me of one of my other pet peeves with SH3: the repetition of all of the crews responses. The first hundred times you hear "Jawohl, Herr Kaleun" it's cool. After that it just gets annoying. The same goes for the sound effects when you score a torpedo hit, when you dive, when you surface, etc. Mix things up a bit and add some variety. Yes, my chief needs to respond to me with a "yes, sir", but he can change his inflection and tone a bit, depending upon how long it's been since we performed a certain action, what his morale is like, etc. Yes, I'm always going to hear the hatch close and bubbles when we dive, but maybe I'll hear a couple guys come down the ladder or maybe I'll hear a bunch, depending on how many are on deck. Maybe I'll hear water wash down the hatch if it's stormy, or maybe I won't if it's clear. A little variation can go a long way, especially with a sim like this where you're issuing orders, surfacing, and diving virtually all the time. The audio can get VERY repetitive.
