(i dont even have the game yet, so that's where i'm coming from with this comment, but...)

...There are times when i have little self-awareness and I'm the only one in the house and it's sunday and i'm hungover and i can freely allow myself to be a weird nerdy type. it is those times when i take my SH3 or SH4 boat out for a bit of a role-playing run and I'll find myself whispering "schleichfahrt" while hitting the 'Z' key
I'll find myself wandering over to the radio room, leaning against my bunk, looking at the sonar guy and clicking him to get the hydrophone menu, asking him to report the nearest warship contact. I'll try to visualize the situation up top and then come up with the decision: 'ahead 2/3, rudder port 20', whispering such while i click those settings on the dials.

I'm sure i'm not the only one who likes to play the game this way, and now with SH5 we have a game which actually lends itself to be played that way! yeah! great!

the only problem with super-realistic stuff is that you'll be that much more annoyed with those things that just arent quite right, doing all that cool stuff but then having to hit a certain key 20 times to set 'rudder port 20' nullifies the greatness to some extent

kudos to the devteam for trying to add new cool stuff, but if it doesnt work than it's all the more frustrating. you only miss things when you know they could be there. I never missed a cook and an engine room in my SH3/4 games. if they are there, great, as long it doesnt result in frustratingly faulty rubbish

right?
