That's quite a lot anyway, but both gunners do reduce loadtime and increase accuracy, and are also more responsive. Medics cure the injured who would otherwise die; Sonarmen make the sonar more sensitive; Torpedomen reduce load times. |
I am aware of what they're for.

Never had this problem. Perphaps you're using a mod? |
What problem? The game will allow you to reload anytime you don't have silent running enabled. But doing so while trying to escape the hunt is a bad idea. It makes a lot of noise to reload.

Then don't use RuB! That's the whole point of it. You can't fairly criticise a game after you've installed a mod that is designed to do just what you're complaining of. |
No, the game is broken without RuB. I prefer more realism, so that makes both specalities worthless. But they're worthless _anyway_ if you play realistically, with or without RuB. When you see a plane you should dive. With or without RuB that's realistic. Without RuB the penality for engaging is generally not death, though.

What I'd like to see is an official expansion pack that fixes the final bugs, and changes the code here and there to give new functionality. Or at least release an SDK before interest fades!

That would be nice.
