- A brand new voice pack with both southern fairies and northern bastids. And some scotts and whatever other strange people populate that island.
- I wonder wether SH4 actually would support the addition of a new playable nation with new awards, ranks, bases etc or wether one would have to replace the Americans with the British.
All British subs of this era were conned from the control room, the conning tower was just a vertical tube with a hatch at each end. (The A Class had the captain's cabin in the tower, but they were not ready for service before the war ended.)

Uniforms would not be much of a problem, as Brit submariners didn't bother too much about correct uniform and would dress for comfort., no air con remember. Crews would sometimes "go native". (This was probably the cause of Admiral Christie's remarks about RN subs and their crews).

Someone mentioned X-Craft. They would be nice but the weapons system would be a sod to mod
