Default Historical accuracy

S-Class Dec 1941 SH4 w patch;

1-SD radar handle rotates while submerged (SD radar never rotated, it was a simple non-directional radar that only indicated range)

2-SD radar is reporting ships

3-Aircraft is not reported by SD radar

4-SD radar was not available until Jan 42 and had a range of 6-10 miles

5-Sonar handel is not rotatable when station is manned by player.

6-Bathythermograph was not available until 1943 (therefore reporting thermal layers in 1941 is incorrect)

7-SJ radar was first surface search radar installed in US Submarines in August of 1942

8- Decoys were not available until late 1945, before that the only thing you could do was pump bilges (simulating a ruptured fuel tank) and/or load a tube with a bunch of stuff and impulse it out.

9- Shooting torpedo's uses compressed air.

10- (Wish) give a key to give us planes on rise (the opposite use of the "D" Key)

11- general comment; TBT was never installed on S-Class (neither was a TDC)

12-Going to the objective icon on map (LUZON STRAITS) doesnt work.

13- Probably already mentioned-> The flickering light syndrom.

14- In the control room there is no Ballast station operator, nor is there a position for hi at the crew management station. (This station was normally manned by a CPO or First class PO.

15- General comment: All the ranks you have listed are modern day ranks, in WWII the enlisted rank structure was different.
