Little stuff like that in games i miss, imagination goes a long way, and silent hunter could be improved with little picture and text screens like that.

Modifiers, get to work!
That is one of the reasons that Aces Of The Deep is so fondly remembered. It was part of that same series, and you didn't have films showing you recieving medals, escaping from the enemy or being hospitalized, but you did get newspaper clippings: "Hometown Hero Gets Iron Cross - Kptl Bruno Asche"; or "Kptl Bruno Asche lost at sea - family mourns lost hero."

It was awesome in its dated way.
