No "PAUSE" function? Really?

So, exactly what happens when you use the Esc button as a Pause?

Game freezes and a menu appears with choices, some infos and the status of mission. If you want to continue (unpause) the mission you select "Back" (low, left).

Shift+F1 also pauses the game (and brings up the help menus)

As to the people complaining about not being able to pause to set up attacks, it's not like Dangerous Waters or other more complicated games where setting up attacks is more detailed. It's literally selecting a few weapon behaviors (shallow, deep, search pattern), which you should have plenty of time to do as you're maneuvering to set up a shot. Then it's just Space > RClick.

In a recent update: "space" pauses the strategic map.
Needs to be added to the documentation.

Well, does "Space" pause the game? I have been using the "ESC" key for bathroom, phone, etc. breaks.

it does when you're not in battle / on the map screen.

hmm, I have not considered whether I am in battle or not, but I know that I have used the ESC with enemy in my area. I have not come back and found myself dead... Another thing is that I still only play single mission, but I doubt there would be a difference between campaign and single mode.
