Staring At Map (F3)
I have been playing SH4 since it arrived and have been enjoying it, but, as with SH3, I spend 90% of my time staring at the map as I sail around in TC....the other 10% at the periscope. Kind of gets same ol' same ol'. Has anyone come up with a more immersive routine than that? Does no map update help? Ideas apprecitated. Tks.

I do what many a boat captain did while crusing.
Go to my office and read a good book until a contact is made. :rotfl:

Dunno. When I was playing the game I usually found myself busy enough reading or whatnot.

I have the same issue, so I started staying at the bridge for a few min. looking around every once and a while.
I would also read the names of my crew and reading radio news.... The addition of the CBB radio mod also added some great "feel"

Imagine what those poor sailors had to go through in real life stuck inside a rolling and pitching tube for days on end. But to break the bordem I often switch to the outside cam and minimize the hud (period key on your numpad) and just enjoy the scenery. I almost always switch to outside cam when crash dive is ordered just to see how long it takes. |
