Now don't get me wrong, eyecandy has its place, but it should not be held on such a pedestal, as to deny the details that make up a sim, or to be used as a reason to not improve upon those details. Unfortunatly, If anything, all the majority of the community has probably shown the dev's over the last few years is they want to be entertained by feeling their in an interactive version of Das Boot, and don't want to be bothered with the details.
So I'm not the only one fearing "SH5: The Das Boot Video Game"?

I have noticed that some people seem to consider Das Boot as the authoritive source on all things U-boat. Could be worse I guess, people could be asking for things like they saw in U-571...
