Well, its only a game...uh, well I thought so until I started seeing constellations in my night sky whilst on patrol. Noticed it in fact in Silent Hunter 4 first of all, but much more prominent now in SH5. Real Nav will have to wait until I finish my first stock campaign and really get a wider monitor (currently 17") to really get the feel of the game. Adds a dimension to the game that really ups the bar of just pointing and shooting, no? Manual TDC is hard enough, but without the nav map updates and leaving it to the navigator, then...
