I agree that the cheering a clapping is a bit annoying. Some of the cheers I've heard make me think that I have a chimpanzee onboard ( :hmm: maybe that's where the bananas have gone) Anyways, when I order SILENT RUNNING, that means that I don't want to hear a peep from any of the crew if a torpedo hits. I remember in Das Boot the crew and the Captain smiled and quietly laughed to themselves with joy of hitting a ship. I don't recall a lone crew member screaming out 'YEA' or 'YAY' or 'YEY' or "YEE-HAWL" when the ship was struck. There was that retarded laugh from the Chief when they sighted 'Thompson's' U-boat out in rough seas. Also, the only reason why anybody in that movie made the slightest bit of joy about sinking the ship was that it had been a month of misery without even seeing a ship out at sea and wanting to get a kill before going home.
A proper fix would be... A few voices in the background using a soft whispering chit-chat tone of voice and sounding a little cheery with the Captain letting out a soft 'shiiiish' to his crew while at silent running towards the end. Now if the U-boat is not at silent running I could understand a little bit more cheer in the U-boat but not just one lone screamer yelling out 'YAY'.
Ever watch 'Crank Yankers'? That one lone scream reminds me of that 'Special Ed' Puppet that always yelled 'YAY - I've got mail' or 'YAY - I wanta go to Hawaii'
