SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - If I could have ONE more Sh3 patch, the realistic hopes would be for...

No CD needed
Fix for the issue whereby the TDC has no idea at all what speed your torpedo is unless you click the 'speed' toggle (even if the torpedo in use HAS no toggleable speed states)
Fix to enable higher resolutions than 1024x768 (yes, I know there is a third-party way to do this, but, c'mon, what a kludgy fix it is! Plus, it breaks Xfire support.)
(EDIT: Suggested below) AI subs that can fire and use torpedoes, and use realistic wolfpack tactics

Those are the 'big 3' as I see them. Sure, there are things I'd LIKE to see. Post-processing filter like Sh4 to give it more atmosphere would be nice, and shouldn't take too much effort (it is, after all, just a filter applied to the entire finished 'rendered' scene as a final step), fix for some of the camera views (which the mod community may well be able to do yet), improve crew management to Sh4-style, etc...

...BUT, I realize it's a "dead" product as far as Ubi is concerned. Top 3 seem to be the biggies that I'd really hope to have resolved if a "final" patch ever did come out.

EDIT: Another idea. To guarantee the "no-CD" patch doesn't increase piracy...would you be willing to PAY to download this update if it included ALL the above? Say, something modest, maybe $5, and you have to enter your current product key to then download it.
