Yes, I accept the limitations of this simulation, other things come first, the commander did never man the rudder personally, and finally the ruder worked different to a normal ship -with push levers and not a real wheel- but still....I miss it  |
As a Dutch guy I did sail ships but I do not see the connection with sailing U-boats. There is no wooden steering wheel on the bridge there. Everything is controlled with rudders, water and air. For sailing an U-boat you should be an engineer rather than a sailor. There is no force feedback needed on these rudders as it is all indirect and 'commandable' instead of manual controllable. Voicecommand should be on top of your list not force feedback, hotas etc. The Bucharest studio should not waiste time on building hotas. Please implement Wolfpacks instead.
