Grammaphone at sunset see the bow plowing through the waves, it gets me in a mood I can´t explain

So, to sum in up...
In SH3, external camera worked for ships and planes, but crashed on land units.
In SH4, it lost ability to track planes and worked only for ships.
In SH5, it's messed even for ships.
This is how the series "evolved"

I just bought this today and you have got to be kidding me?!! For me this is just basic to any game to be able to view the person or object you are simulating!! This is a joke right? I find it impossible to believe that in a 3D game in 2010, you cannot look at the object you are in.

Jokes aside, please, what is the key to view my sub? Or just any other object?

SNACKO,

Just click the circle in the upper left hand corner it clicks to an outside camera. Hope that helps.

The game is pretty nice once you add some of the old mods that made SH3 and SH4 the great games they were.

I don't remember how SH3 was, but I imagine that it would be nice to be able to goto external camera, and then press a hotkey for simply parenting the camera to the uboat's horisontal movement. Like a toggle, on and off.

Then I imagine that one would be free to move the now parented camera around, allowing to change its position yet still following the movement of the uboat.

in the commands.cfg file i assigned the > < keys to next and previous unit. it did just like it did for SH4. it followed the uboat and would cycle to nearby units.

i did however read that it was buggy, although i didnt experience any problems myself. I did put the command lines back the way they were as to not have any future issues. i might revisit it.

I´ll try it later, behind a laptop atm.
Me already had a look in the command config and the keys are assigned but not working.
