You couldn't be more correct Steve. SH5 really left me with a long face
and within about a week I was back on patrol again in my VIIB in GWX3. Granted every sim has it's issues, but 5 took the cake.
I would like to suggest some changes to the SH series in general.
First of all, an opera isn't over until the fat lady sings right? So why is it the game determines my death? Why can't I be allowed to exit the game myself after I determine I'm done? After all my crew is dead, all compartments flooded, and the sub on her way to the eternal deep. Obviously there's nothing else to do besides quit to the main menu. The reason I'm suggesting this is because there have been times where I was making headway on the flooding, most of my crew was still alive and working, the sub was still under control and actually beginning to reverse her sinking and begin to surface when Bam! I get the "Yer Ded" message.
Let me know what you think about this suggestion and why it would or would not work in the game.
By the way, I think I remember talking to you a while back Steve. Were you the guy who posted up the picture manning a flak gun on your cruiser during Vietnam?
In case you're wondering, I went AWOL for a while playing other games and taking care of important matters. Now I'm back just kind of helping out the noobies and what not.
How's life?
