First Person

This ventilated feature gives a lot of room to fantasy discussions...

If my engyneer is fatigued I would like to notice it by his face and slower movements and reactions... (extremely fatigued, fall asleep at his station...)

I would like to see extreme situations into the sub, like water or fire in a compartment, and the people running to fix it, with a certain chance of success... even people dyeing in the process if serious enought... (some random factors would be interesting).

Curious to see what it happens by calling "battlestations"

Some crew members with weak nerves that with a certain chance, will pessimistically yell when under water bombs attack even when silent running is an order, compromising the position... lol

The big problem with firing a regular bullet in inside any thick hulled machine (tanks, armored car, submarine, surface vessel) is ricochet. This can literally shred the crew of a tank, and do some serious damage to the crew and equipment).

Lugers were notorious for being more powerful than most 9mils. The scene in Indiana Jones when he shoots the three Germans in front of him, is based on the reality of the Luger. It was quite a hand gun. God knows why.

Now, as far as the bullets. To my knowledge these soft bullets are in the side arms of submarine crews of Russian, and European boats (not sure about US, but I would hope so).

With a full 3d realism a crash dive diving time could depend of the player skills moving from the bridge to the control room ?

could the sub dive with the hatch open ? or the IA crew will wait until the bridge crew is inside of the boat ?

The first person perspective in a submarine game opens a lot of news possibilities and questions,

imagine the reviews from the average gaming audience:

'This is the shortest game ever, there's only 45 guys to shoot and none of em run away or shoot back, what a waste of my money'

i would love using TrackIR

, together with a good physics engine for the interrior also, ie if the diving angle is to high, you have to grab something to fix you, otherwise... outch

I also hope there will be no more "separation" between interior and exterior world like in SH3/4. It would be great to be able to check your charts (or whatever), then climb the ladder to the conning tower, and to the bridge, discovering the sky and sea as you climb. Very atmospheric
