And a new Pacific subsim following closely on its heels. If that takes another 10 years, so be it, but if I'm still around I'll buy it and play it.
Amen to all that. I guess my main point is that while I understand continually improving the eye candy in order to attract the casual gamer and his $49, I don't want to see this happen at the expense of the on board experience.

I really like SH4, but for as much as it has advanced in terms of everything happening outside the sub, I can't help but feel that we lost a little bit of atmosphere inside the sub.

I think a Dev team of any future subsim needs to consider the importance of the on board reality as the Captain interacts with his crew.
