I'm still on my shakedown patrols before the war begins, but here are a few more observations from a casual player, none of any real significance...

1. I hear an unusual distortion from the hydrophone in the bearings before and after the actual merchant/warship sounds that wasn't there before. Is this the new normal or is there something wrong? What does this sound represent?

2. I find that I liked the sweeping second-hand clock instead of just the digital clock. I now pull the pocketwatch from the upper left corner and drag it down to the lower right just above the dials so I don't have to have my eyes zig-zagging across the screen. However, when I move to a persicope view, the watch covers the notepad and I have to move it elsewhere. I know that I could just place it somewhere else, but then I find my eyes scanning back and forth over the entire screen.

If someone is planning to resize the dials, can they also make the pocketwatch just a little bit smaller, too?

3. Was it an oversight to keep some of the users controls out of the new version, like the mouse wheel for zooming the map in and out? I'm adding those back in myself, but would hate to have to do that each time there is an update. Some are there and just commented out. Here are the convenience keys that I use that are missing in commands_en.cfg:

[Cmd70]
Name=Cam_zoom_in
Ctxt=1
;Key0=0xBB,Rc,""
Key0=0xBB,Cc,"CTRL++"

[Cmd71]
Name=Cam_zoom_out
Ctxt=1
;Key0=0xBD,Rc,""
Key0=0xBD,Cc,"CTRL+-"

[Cmd73]
Name=Cam_wheel_zoom
Ctxt=1,2
Key0=0x05,R,"M.wheel"

[Cmd132]
Name=Sonar_rotate
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x05,R,"M.wheel"

[Cmd133]
Name=Radar_rotate
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x05,R,"M.wheel"

[Cmd261]
Name=Report_weather
Ctxt=1
MnID=0x3F250006
Key0=0x57,c,"CTRL+W"

Thanks for reading.
