I miss the bathythermograph! You could just look at it and tell if you were in a thermal or if there wasn't one. Sometimes the thermal wouldn't be that good and maybe the destroyer would locate you. The Quartermasters log indicated what ship you sank and the tonnage. Also all of the fleet boats had the Mod 3 or 4 conning tower. I like the graphics of SH4 and 5 like the sunsets and stuff like that but I would have been happy with the bow planes deploying during the dive or fleet boats with correct props and not uboat props. I liked SH1 cause it was the next step up from Silent Service II.

I don't remember having any trouble running it but back then. It didn't have any bugs that I remember but you had to have the top of the line 486 DX 66 mother board. 4 megabytes ram (cost $300 dollars) really made it shine! The radar worked right out of the box and it didn't take 20 minutes to get to your patrol area.......
