I am a little disappointed about the ability to control other units in the game. While this feature is appealing for some people, I think it detracts from what a sim is and turn the game most of a RTS oriented game. If you can control about 30 other units ,you would use a very arcadish phisics in all of then and also in third view

Imagine if in Silent Hunter 3 we could do that, we have no sim anymore, we have a RTS game.
Just my opinion.
