yeah... looks like the PC needs to break out the iron lung...
*theactrical sigh*
none of my friends (just my step brother) PC game anymore. its on to the XBOX 360 (horrible in my opinion) and the PS3 (equaly horrible, but a bajillion times more expensive)

but as for immersion and all that happy junk...i can say we (as americans, where i currently reside) had it much easier in the submarine war than the Germans...they failed (i mean in terms of losses) because we got better... we won (again, in terms of losses and things like that) because the axis got dumber.

the german campaign in sh3 is a fight-to-the-death, knife-in-teeth swashbuckling ride through the gates of submarine hell, because you know you are going to lose, therefore you have to try to make the biggest impression possible on british shipping, while playing cat-and-mouse with a british destroyer above dropping thousands of depth charges on/near you...
in sh4 however. it feels like a joyride because you know for a fact you are going to win..sure, knock down a few tankers and maybe a destroyer to DJ's locker. but in the end...you are going to win...therefore...have a little pleasure cruise around the pacific theater...enjoy the sights

(not bad for 17 huh?)
