A few questions about the game

Hello everybody,

I am planning to purchase the game, because I feel it is much better than Sub Command and it has way more realism added to it. I am very excited about it and wanted to ask a few questions:

1. When you stop the Submarine, does the propeller stop or it keeps rotating like in Sub Command? I found that unrealistic and irritating.

2. Do you have any control on the bow/stern planes? Another thing that should have been added earlier.

3. Do you have any control on the ballast tanks? (Ex: Blow all the ballast from the forward tanks) I think should be a great addition if it is not in the game, maybe in the next patch.

4. Can you reverse the propellers? When you give the order for All Back 1/3 -> Emergency the propellers should reverse motion.

5. Can you communicate with allied platforms via the antenna or by other means?

6. Is the radio message floating wire longer? (In Sub Command it is very short)

7. Can you emergency dive the ship?

And now a few things I would like added hopefully in the next game:

I. Battle Stations mode (Click a button and the stations are with red light and crew is more alert)

II. 1st person option (Choose to See the rest of the crew and give them commands individually and wonder around the submarine and its compartments, ie. Not likely but its cool to dream lol)

III. Use morse code to communicate between platforms (It will have a guide in the sub on usage) and also via the antenna and to ask for help ect..

IV. Flags on the different platforms to point out origin.

V. Drills on the sub (the least drills you perform the worse the crew will be to able to manage situation/ optional selection from the Options Menu)

VI. "Disaster" Option (It would be an option selectable from the options menu where at any point during a mission or not depending on random selection, there will be a problem that would cause damage and needs repair)

VII. Abandon The Ship (An option selectable from the orders menu to evacuate the crew and scuttle the boat, the crew will be on rafts visible in the water and could make way points for them to reach to an allied platform or wait for one before debrief)

And these are a few off the top of my head... Sorry for the long writing, but I get passionate and visionary when it comes to submarine games and want them as realistic as possible.

Thank you for reading this long dream of mine. I hope you can answer the questions about the game since I am planning to purchase it in mid December.

Thank you folks!
