Hey,

I have been a fan of Silent Hunter II, and having now purchased SH4 I am looking forward to installing it (and the patches) tonight and taking my boat out of harbour for the first time.

As a matter of interest, however, I was wondering whether there were any plans for mods that would perhaps highlight the participation of the Royal Navy Submarine Service in the Pacific war. Although they participated less than their US counterparts, they were nevertheless there, according to the Wikipedia article on the submarine war in the Pacific:

"submarines operating out of Trincomalee and Australia were a constant threat to Japanese shipping passing through the Malacca Straits,"

Although the Royal Navy obviously featured largely in Silent Hunter III due to its geographic location, there seems to be little reference to the UK Silent Service's participation in the war in either theatre. I personally would be interested in seeing a few missions based around the participation of this different submarine service.

Any thoughts?
