You know what would have been REALLY awesome in SH3?

No "hud"!

Seriously, hit the numpad 'delete' key (also the period). It makes the 2d 'hud' go away. No gauges, no stations, nothing. Just the 3d screen.

Now, why can't we play like this? Well, there is no way to issue orders! Annoying!

If they had a pop-up 'orders' wheel (like the 'contextual menus' in Rainbow 6) over a crewman when you clicked on him in the 3d mode, you could totally play this way. No interface at all, just looking around the bridge at the gauges. You want a hydrophone report? Walk up to the sonar room and ask the guy. Want to see the current depth? Walk over to the gauges and take a look.

THAT would be awesome.
