This thread's to discuss how you want the maps in
Silent Hunter IV to look. I didn't really like the ones in
Silent Hunter III, they just looked a bit too bland and simplistic.
I think it'd be nice to have some information as part of the maps in addition to your position, contacts, and cities. The
Shells of Fury chart (below) appears to have mine fields, etc. labelled on it. I'd like time-accurate labels on patrol zones, convoy routes, mine-fields, areas of high maritime activity, aircraft coverage, and other relevant information.
It'd also be nice if, when closed-up, the charts looked like real-life charts, such as this one (or did Silent Service charts differ somehow? I'm used to sailing charts like this one
).
Your thoughts?
