you are partly correct Pisces, there was originally supposed to be commands for abandoning ship and setting steep normal and shallow dive angles and many many other things.
but in the end Ubisoft shafted us a slight bit again but undercutting their product to rush it out onto the shelves.
my stance has always been i would rather wait 2 years for a mind blowing product than wait 11 months for a really good one. but thats just me.
there were a lot of options left out of SH3.
just have a look at the speech folders
"The weather is improving sir"
"The weather is changing for the worse"
"set dive planes for steep dive"
"abandon ship"
"range to target over ten thousand"
"range to target under one hundred"
numerous coughing sounds as if low on air
numerous groans
numerous laughter samples
numerous screams
2 sigh of reliefs
"enemy radio message intercepted"
"ship breaking up!"
"cannot man the flak guns, sea is to rough sir!" (you get the text not the sound file though)
"no more ammunition!"
numerous external storage empty/ready messages
numerous messages regarding target solution plotting
and dozens of other things you will never hear anyone say in the game simply because the files were recorded in a studio and installed with the program... but they were never assigned to any in game action.
