PV; I didn't mean to imply you were slamming SH3 Commander.
I just think that the SH3 Commander gave you more flexibility, particularly with the crew (including qualifications and awards) and essentially took the reknown aspect completely out of the picture. I have never liked the reknown/points system and consider it a negative aspect of the game. One shouldn't have to "buy" torpedoes, for example, it just doesn't make sense and irritates the hell outta me!!!
