You'd have both an SHIII-style nav map with waypoints, and radio menus to automatically make them execute manuevers and such. If needed, you could also take direct control of your boat a-la SHIII, and fire some cannons and torpedoes by hand or something.

Now THAT would be a much cooler approach.

now that's a damn good idea--not only does it re-use the SH3 engine for another game (good economics from UBI's point of view with any luck) it allso allows for the revitalisation of SH3 it self by introducing the possibility of inter-op against DD's

every ones a winner surely--sales of SH3 continue --sales of the new surface version of SH3 accumalate --and it all works to promote interest in SH4--
