What there is to like about SH5

I hate "telling" the helmsman to come to heading 179, because of slightly inaccurate mouse placement, when, IRL, I would have simply said, "Come to heading 180."

That has been a minor but annoying problem since the beginning of the series. Ideal would be to have a box come up requesting the course, and you could just type in the numbers.

Or is that what you meant?

Sure. Typing the values into a box would be fine.

Even some sort of system with tumblers or arrows to increase or decrease the values. The use of arrows is already present when "telling" the XO at what speed the target is moving. Perhaps that input is accessible to our clever modders.

That would be a good solution too.

This SH5 feature have never been mentioned before anywhere , but I like it very much ,when you want to use the periscope in the control room ,you click on the periscope , and the periscope " turns " automatically towards where you are , and not just up/down like the previous SH versions

.

That is a cool feature.

Besides the nice looking graphics and interiors model, I didn't really like anything else about SH5 in its current stage. The UI is what bugs me the most, it looks like a Windows Aero interface, to me that destroys all the immersion that you're commanding a 1940's submarine. SH3's old-looking maps, worn sheets of paper, buttons, authentic looking gauges and dials, logbook and messages with old typewriter fonts, etc all go with the game's theme and improve the game's immersion. It helps the feel that you're commanding an old U-boat not surfing a fancy website or using Windows 7 gadgets in 2010,

but to each his own!

A fully rendered interior! Us subsimers have been imagining that for a looong time.
