Just got game.

1) Notice that the torpedo tube door bug is here again. When you open a torped door and select a new tube (using the keyboard or clicking on the torpedo panel) the old door closes. Makes it very annoying to set up for a fast spread shot.

Also the game gives no message for closing torpedo doors, but for opening.

2) Enemies in port at start:

Beginning patrol in Soerajba (spelling?) 1942 january and the harbour has a japanese gunboat and a merchant moored. Battle breaks out. Thats just ridiculous.

3) In same harbor I can get the game to crash if I activate the stadimeter while looking on the gunboat from up close. If I sail away a bit the game wont crash when using stadimeter. Odd.

4) Im getting radar contacts ALL THE TIME. But the funny part is, I dont think I have any radar on the porpoise?

5) Fuel consumption and battery drain seems too high. Not sure if this ties into crew experience or the porpoise being a real underperformer, but it just strikes me as noticeable less than in SH3. It is definitely a problem because Im told to patrol off Honshu!!!

6) Shift-F2 puts you into the graphics in an odd position.

7) Sonar handles are impossible to use and click on at sonar station. I can send a ping however.

8) Game crashes frequently using alt-tab.

9) Sounds loop indefinitely if Realistic sounds are turned on.

10) The submarine itself blocks your view when using the AA gun station and turning your view upwards. This is on the porpoise and very annoying.

11) Gun ranges are out of whack. When shooting in that harbour Soerajba I had to put range at 5500 to hit a ship that was merely 300 meters away. Otherwise the shots would land in the water.

12) Identification manual resets itself when you close it using N. VERY annoying. The manual also flips back to normal silhouette view when you turn a page. Also very annoying when you try to check the ship against the other profiles when turning pages. Click click click click.

13) View range seems to be at 8000m

14) Event cam slows my system down loads. When firing a torpedo and the mini cam opens the view, the frame rate drops nastily. Bug or not, its reason enough to turn off event cam.

Also the torpedo cam view tracks in a very odd way, going above the surface lots of times. It is just not pretty to look at.
