trenken: abandoning your boat and at least surviving is perhaps better than the alternative... and yes, whilst it might be pointless in the game (you die/surrender, same thing, career over, start again), those who play SH3 as a simulation see it as a bit of an oversight, so much so that SH3Cmdr includes a workaround which allows players to change a "dead" career into a "surrendered" career, if the player was on the surface when they "died".
Perhaps to draw a comparison, when's the last time you played a combat related flight simulation that didn't allow you to eject? Same thing. |
And let me tell ya, when you run a boat accross serveral years of the war, with 600 some odd days at sea, its a bit nice to try and save the crew. In real life, If your boat is damaged, and you can't stay submerged, you have two choices. Drown, or try and surface and save what men you can. Not everyone will make it (as the destroyers will be shelling you), but at least you give your crew a fighting chance. Its a more pallitlabe conclusion to a long career.
