Now I hear that there won't be any sub vs sub battles in SH4 now. Ummm am I missing something here? Shouldn't this have been the very FIRST thing UBI made into this new game? I really hope that SH4 isn't SH3 with just prettier graphics. I REALLY HOPE NOT.

You are going to be greatly disappointed with SH4 then. It’s going to be SH3 with improved graphics in the Pacific with the US Submarines. Game play will be the same with some tweaks
Submarines of WW2 simply not engage each other submerged. Sonar was still a relatively new technology. Submarines of this era were designed to attack shipping and surface warships, not destroy other submarines. They simply didn’t have the technology to do it successfully. There was only one instance where another submarines successfully sunk another submerged submarines (read JU-88’s response), and it was more of dumb luck than anything else. It just did not happen. Historically speaking submarines engagements were where one sub caught the other one on the surface with its pants down.
