Даже от таких соблазнительных, и по сути бестолковых событий, где игрок теоретически может оказаться в пределах визуальной видимости этих действий. Например, атака Свордфишей на Бисмарк, где он получил повреждения руля. Исторически кажется нужным нарисовать это событие в редакторе, это как бы наполняет мод историческим событием, а по сути для игры сущий бред, который игрок не увидит, и исторического соответстия даже технически никак не получиться .


==================================


Such missions or events, where the player will hardly see all the action, are garbage in the campaign. Which will simply load the game and that's it. I have long since abandoned such things while working on various mods in the American campaign, German or Soviet campaign. Even such tempting, and essentially senseless events, where the player can theoretically be within the visual range of these actions. For example, the attack of Swordfish on Bismarck, where he received damage to the rudder. Historically, it seems necessary to draw this event in the editor, it kind of fills the mod with a historical event, but in fact, for the game it is sheer nonsense that the player will not see, and historical correspondence cannot even be technically achieved.

I would disagree, respectfully.


Immersion is a key aspect of the mod. Something stock SH 4 lacked was a lot of immersion due to lack of historical accuracy in many aspects such as traffic, battles, events, equipment, map name locations, etc. As we know asubsim is not 24/7 action, so little apparent small things become important.

Battle of Leyte Gulf for example, not having the appropriate actions in the sim to start with is a big immersion killer so I recreated the battle and its component actions in the mid within the limits of the sub. So player if find themselves off Samar on morning of 25 October, will encounter the Japanese fleet attacking escort carriers "Taffy 3" and the smaller actions throughout the war in all years. For player to find themselves in such locations and no activity is anti climatic and an immersion killer, or encountering carrier like the Kaga or Akagi after Midway where they were sunk.

Or being off coast when a landing took place such as Iwo Jima or Guadalcanal and nothing happening, immersion killer.


Far as Doolittle.... player rendezvous with the Task Force, far more immersive to see 16 B-25's on deck of the Hornet when player encounters the task force at the rendezvous point.

Other mission may be assigned to recon the target area provide a "beacon", player can see the B-25's coming in low approaching the coast. If want to follow with free camera, can observe them strike Tokyo.
