That's scary. I remember when stuff like that, and more, would have been part of the manual. I dug up the .pdf manual for the original Silent Hunter recently. It describes the game and controls, a brief history of the sub campaign in the war, and then has an eleven page appendix with the recollections of a WWII skipper. Following that is a section on tactics, by the same commander. The final section is a write up, again by the commander, on the fire control problem and the equations needed to hit a target with a torpedo.
Basically, the manual has stuff that you would need to go hunt down on the internet these days.
Exclusive content in the game I find to be unfortunate. I'm also wondering if this
iron box they mention is going to be shaped like a coffin.
