Picking up survivors would be a nice feature, but gee it would take a bit of effort to fully implement. There's a lot more to it than just pulling up beside a ship and clicking a "Rescue survivors" button. What are you going to do with them? Where are you going to offload them? What impact will they have on your patrol duties? The game would need to support answers to these questions as well, lest buyers complain of another half implemented feature.

Picking up downed US pilots is in SH4.

Somewhat different than filling a u-boat with enemy ship survivors now isn't it? A friendly US pilot or two in a US sub is not a logistic or administrative burden. Try 10-20 if not more Allied survivors crawling all over your u-boat and see what happens.

" In all seriousness, I will consider developing an SH5Cmdr "

How about SH5BdU ? More U-Boat sounding.

Maybe a "* Name yet to be defined" disclaimer is warranted, LOL!

It wouldn't be called SH5Cmdr; it would be called something more U-bootwaffe-y, and relevant to the scope of its contents.
