OK, I am the last person to whine and complain about this beautiful sim. It looks fantastic. I am dying to get it in the mail and start playing. It will be $50 very well spent with all of the enjoyment I'll get out of it.

At this point, however, I have one suggestion to make. I think it would be fairly simple to implement, either in an Ubi patch or a mod.

The flags on the ships are way too big! They could be 1/4 the size they are now, or even smaller, and would look a whole lot better. Everything alse about the graphics looks so gorgeous, it just kills me to see these ridiculously outsized flags.

I don't know if this was done to facilitate recognizing friend or foe from a distance, or what, but it certainly detracts from immersion/believability in my opinion.

If I can't tell a ship's nationality based on visual recognition and the tactical situation, I need to either a) get closer, or b) consult my recognition manuals. If I have no idea who I'm slinging torpedoes at, I don't have any business being a sub skipper, now do I?

I have no doubt that this can be fixed fairly painlessly. I know SH IV is gold, but this is at the very top of my mod wish list. Other than this flag issue, I think everything looks wonderful. Anyone else agree?
