Personally, i would have preferred they expanded on the sim elements, but they really haven't done that since SH4 with the inclusion of thermal layers.

I would have also like to have seen something done about the acoustics. It remains a ridiculously simplified model that operates at any speed and in any sea state, let alone the modeling of things like convergence zones.

What i find funny though is this rejection of the RPG elements by several folks. It's funny to me, because if you peruse the SH3 forums for any length of time, there's plenty of role playing that goes on there. You'd think they'd love it. I mean seriously, for alot of people, its all about das boot. You can' tell me this game isn't trying to deliver that.

You're right there. I was speaking more for myself. I never really thought of it that way, although deep down I really 'knew' that. People wanted Das Boot in video game form. It's all that a lot of people talk about; likely most of the community. So, yes, I guess that the devs were really giving the people what they wanted after all.
I'd never really thought about it that way.
