Thanks for the share, will definitely pick it up. Always though an element of danger missing in SH 4 is friendly fire incidents. I have toyed with idea by creating another nation titled "United States" or something along those lines, have a few units that will randomly appear, flying the US flag, but will open fire, including depth charging player sub etc.
