Your Top Ten Patch 1.2 Items List

List your top ten things you would like to see fixed/changed/added/improved in the v1.2 patch. Take your time and if possible, format each of the ten items as follows:

1. Item . Bug/feature/glitch Reason
2. Item Bug/feature/glitch Reason
3. Item Bug/feature/glitch Reason

If you are too lazy to explain, just list the items. Take your time, compose your list offline and paste it here, make a good, serious list. Let's see who lists serious gameplay issues and who wants stuff and fluff.

Last, to keep some perspective, list a couple things you like about the game. Have faith, we are subsimmers, we don't give up easily.

My notes:

Neal's notes
1 TDC causes torpedoes to miss behind ship/port side bug Priority 1 Got to have a flawless TDC
2 "A" key CTD
3 SD Radar picks up surface contacts & rotates Priority 1
4 Monolith & fog affects framerates Priority 1 workaround seems to be disable environmental effects
6 Crew die for no reason (mostly deck crew) Priority 1 - Have not seen this.
8 Chronometer does not work (for target speed) Priority 1 - Need a magic watch, or a WO
11 Clipboard/Radio log Loading Times Priority 1- When full of messages, the game drags when the
clipboard is brought up; solution, drop off older messages?
13 Escorts too passive Important all AI issues important, AI is king
17 Rapid/inaccurate depletion of Air, fuel and batteries Important moddable?
20 Using TDC causes CTD Important
22 1 Knot convoys, clustered, and ships on land Priority 1 all AI issues important
23 Radar reports when no radar is on Sub/radar station on subs when should not be Priority 1 Possible to have a blank station appear when
no radar unit was available? Disable the "go to rader" icons?
26 Out of Oxygen message when surfacing Priority 1 minor but weird
27 Sound Loops on crew orders ("rudder", "rudder") Also: Ordering ahead 2/3, the vocal report is Ahead Slow
37 Not enough dud torp early in war Important
47 Incorrect radar depth Important
48 Hitting bottom causes sub destruction Important
52 Balao radar turn off at 18m depth Important
