Fatbobit,
Excellent work! You're absolutely right about the immersion too... I had a similar situation where it's all dark and quiet while I'm stalking a convoy, when suddenly my dog barks. I literally jumped out of my seat, spilling my glass of wine!

Glad you're enjoying the experience! Oh...my girlfriend thinks I'm mad as well...although I never play when she's around. I did tell her about the time I finally found the Yamato, but although she tried, I don't think she grasped the thrill of that moment.
Good hunting to you,
Howler
