Nothing new, but still it sounds really interesting. That makes me excited how it will play out in the final version and in the long run.
The previewer makes it sound like this has a deep gameplay impact. Which would be really nice. But it could also be more of a immersion-thing only, we'll see.

Some of the videos from the last time have shown this and here is a screenshot of this as well: sometimes there are waterdrops blurring the view although you stand on the bridge, not using the UZO or anything. This is a bit strange, perhaps you are wearing glasses in this game ?
It seems more 'realistic' to me, that is why I call it more of a simulator. IN other naval games you either are a third person directing from on high (like JUtland) or you are essentially bouncing around from station to station playing each individual role. In SHV you actually are playing the captain of the boat. It is more of an individual experience IMHO.
