Default Resolution versue aspect ratio

The resolution can be changed, and there are several threads on how to do that. It's the aspect ratio that's hard. You will get a slightly longer looking boat and ships. This actually looks pretty nice, and it makes the exteriors seem more real. The only place you really notice the slight distortion is in any circle. Your periscope lens will be slightly oval, as will your instrument dials. It all depends how much that annoys you compared to the wider horizon you get. If you don't like the distortion, some screens and video cards allow you to resize to fit and then it will be in the correct ratio with letterbox lines on either side.
