Thanks for the replies, I might wind up getting Commander one day.
I play SH 4 mostly but I do like 3 as well. Have yet to "go to war", I just do some of the quick missions, especially "Happy Times".
The worst was U-505, did it once way back. Bad day to try to quit smoking on that one. You would think there would be some sort of approach but no, all of a sudden there you are under attack by the whole US navy. So much for alert lookouts. Upon crash diving the last thing I saw was a DE firing a salvo of hedgehogs at me.
I still use auto targeting on SH3, just a game to relax with. I know that once I go to manual as I do in SH4 I'll never go back.
As for crew deaths, I found out first thing about them, in training of all places. I had lookouts and I was below checking out everything. I thought the lookouts would alert me as to this island that came up but no they didn't. We slam into it at good speed with damage. I backed off the boat and I think it sank, can't recall it's been so long ago. Very impressive performance on my part.
