The manual TDC video is extremely disappointing. In fact, I would argue it was misnamed, since I never saw the TDC. I saw a menu system hiding in a dialog box.
My favorite aspect of the game is twiddling those TDC dials as I lock in a manual solution.
I don't want to work with menu systems, I want to interact with the actual interface to the sub - the mechanical switches, knobs, and dials. In SHIII for example I would always manually ping the depth under keel, raise and lower the periscope with the periscope switch, etc. That interaction with the equipment on the sub was a huge part of the immersion factor for me.
Oh well. I know they have to design for the mass market, I was just hoping they would carry both interface options in the game. I know everyone is up in arms about DRM, but honestly, this is the deal breaker for me.
