No, I mean does it not resemble any RL rec manual, both in look, AND in the way the submariners used it to determine what ship they were attacking?
In SH4, the rec manual was nothing at all like a real one. The RL ONI manual has the observer note certain general characteristics which then takes them to the right area of the manual. Passenger, Composite, Split, or engines aft?
Answer that, then go to stern type (cruiser or counter), then that gets you to a section, then look at Mast/Kingposts/Funnel arrangements to narrow it (MKFM, MFM, etc). Also, the ability to have data in it not be accurate if that is appropriate would be nice.
Everything about the way they did the rec manual stank, IMO. It was also very hard to mod in a useful way.
