This has got bugger all to do with "numbers".....I think, LOL.
I was manning the sonar position during a mission the other day and thought it would be kinda cool if, online, certain posns could be assigned, (i.e. much like a flight sim wherein one person can be pilot another a turret gunner etc). I thought it would be interesting if I was on sonar and/or radar and assisting my online skipper. Anyone have thoughts on that? I realize it would probably only appeal to a few but if the game had that type of ability to permit more than one online player on a single sub to man certain positions I think it would have vastly more appeal for online play given the limited online concept as it stands currently.
As I mentioned the concept exists in flight sims in "crewed" bombers, if a position is not manned then AI automatically takes it. In some sims you can jump from position to position to minimize the boredom factor waiting for something to 'happen'. I just think this concept for online sub ops is an intriguing possibility.
