The Poll will never me statistically correct because all have a different Focus:
Like take me as an example: Im not that hardcore player that ask and demand pure realism
I play SH3/SH4 always with limited fuel/ammunition/torpedos/battery and so on.
But I always keep the external views and this special "Ereigbiskamera" (do not know the english word).
And I never use the TDC....(Yes, burn the whitch, I know

)
So, for me a missing TDC is not relevant. It will not make my review negative. Also I never use the Stadimeter....
So in my opinion the game can be excellent even without Stadimeter and manual TDC.
Or like the Conning tower discussion....for me is not relevant if the conning tower is 100% correct. I never see a real WWII-Vessel and maybe I never will see one...
But for others this will be a game-breaker....
For me would be a game braker for example stupid AI behavior.
I be not a casual gamer but I want to enjoy my game...after 8h of work and 2h of driving I do not want kill my brain with cos, sin and other functions....I still hate them in 8. Grade!
I will wait for 4.th march, play it two days and than will I vote....and when there is no manual TDC I will not care....
And thats the reason why this Poll cant be 100% correct.... Because everybody hace a differnt focus in how he plays the game and what he enjoys....
....and dont bother me with manual TDC, I refuse to lean!
