The operative words there being "to me", and thanks for that. It drive me nuts when someone presumes to speak on my behalf.

Aside fom the constant Janus error crashes, people forget that if you were in an encounter with a DD (or several DD's) and you saved your game, the DD's would all go brain dead, lose you and leave. You could surface right in front of one that was previously using it's lazer beam sensors to locate and kill you and, after a save, it would ignore you completely.

I remember trying to sort this out during Projeckt Messerwhatsitsname and I don't think we ever did get it fixed.

As well night attacks on the surface, which are fun in SH5, were impossible in SH2 due to the fact that all of the merchants in a convoy were equipped with several ace level lookouts each. That meant in a convoy of 20 ships you had hundreds of top notch lookouts that could see as well in the dark as they could in the day.

Sh2 (prior to Pacific Aces) sucked.
