Really? I'll be damned, I've been thinking otherwise for a long time. Thanks for clearing the doubt.

Supprises me as well but as with any projection of a sphere onto a flat surface there is some distortion.

Of course, of course, I never said that it was a perfect system (in fact, Hitman's link says that it's the less useful system for practical uses, with special focus on the polar distortion). But all along I thought that we got plane projection in SH3 and 4, and that SH5 was getting an all new system, but it seems I was terribly mistaken.

As I have not seen any info of a manual TDC, I wonder if it is possiple
to port SH4 german TDC to SH5, and make it even beter than SH4 one..
Make it more interactive with crew. You use periscope, give orders to crew and they carry them out.
