I did notice it. It's irritating. But I am just happy to run it.

Other annoyances:

SC: Leaves mouse droppings.

DW: You cannot save a replay. So, most enter a final mission save. It occasionally crashes or hangs.

I remember also there was a popping issue after the release of SC which they fixed. One of the reasons it was so annoying is that it work like a cheat.

You know you cannot see a track on BB; it's not nearly as sensitive as low frequency NB detection. Anyway, if you scan with cursor in BB and heard a pop, you had a contact even though no audio track.

So, I remember it was a big deal.

You just got to live with this stuff. I think SC give perfect LOBs on the TA in a turn.

DW: And I remember that surface ships which are using radar don't seem to pick up the Kilo scope or ESM mast. Why? Air mounted narrow wave length RADAR was the scourge of U-Boats.

DW: I don't recall the KILO needing to recharge.

I watched a couple of Cold Water missions on Youtube. External 3D view with infinite visibility in water. You really didn't need any sensors at all. It didn't even look like a subsim, but instead cheating in a flight sim. So, be happy we have this. Be happy we can still run it. Be happy the RA Team is still modding it to make it better. Be happy that a number of players wrote fine reference guides. Be happy folks such as Neil Stevens and Bill Nichols gave it a home. Since in reality, hardcore wargaming is a niche market. And subs are a niche within a niche, within a niche.

I am not criticizing anyone. These are just my feelings.
