My "name" SNAKE1937 is from my military call sign and birth year. Therefore my hands do NOT take to rapid repetative motion as needed in a FPS style of a game. The key strokes for overall actions, for me, are needed to play the game---- as found in SH3 and 4! In real service the CO gives orders and the crew responds. He does NOT run to a station and takeover a crew station. That said the game B17 had a great aspect that the player could take over a crew position and leave it improved and more skillfull ( hopefully) thus leading to a great crew.

My big gripe in SH4 was the lack of sailors, and CPO's remaining as such,but gaining skills and experence ( Not going up the rank chain to become a bunch of "shave tail officers" ). The thought of an all "officer and gentleman" crew doing the everyday grub work is comical and scary
to all who have served there country in uniform.

Have to go now and soak my old stiff hands( LOL).
