1-Sonar handle rotates while submerged SD radar is reporting ships, Aircraft is not reported by SD radar, SD radar was not available until Jan 42 and had a range of 6-18 miles

2-Sonar rotates when unmanned and surfaced.

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

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

5- 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.

6- Shooting torpedo's uses compressed air.

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

8- The flickering light and cycling gages syndrom.

9- In the control room there is no Ballast station operator, nor is there a position for him at the crew management station. (This station was normally manned by a CPO or First class PO called "Chief of the watch", the person at the chart table was an enlisted man called a "Quartermaster".

10-The message clipboard LAG is in-toloerable...25 minutes to load after 20+days at sea!

11-There seems to be some kind of end mission-refit anomaly..S-Class in May 1942 completed 4 objectives returned to Fremantle, only refit was allowed, and all old mission objectives remained on map. The torps that were loaded-wouldnt load! So Its kinda screwed, cabnt return to port and cant load torps!

12-AOB does not track and update with PK

13- Is almost a must to have tools on attack map in order to develop a proper solution, the way it was done in WWII.

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

(In time I will have more) I do have one suggestion, please dont take it the wrong way. The manual for SH1 has a ton of information that would definately be helpful in resolving some of the historical research data. I know that accurate sub information can at times be hard to find. If the Dev team wants it I'll send it to them.
