I'll pass, that part of the war, id have a hard time maintaining intrest. I started a career in 39, first patrol sunk a BB, got bored, deleted it. Just started another one in 41. First patrol, sank a BB on the way out from a task force intercept,and raided St johns harbor NE of halifax, and im already bored. Have to admit, i just installed NYGM ship damage mod and its given me a new zeal on teh game, but still.. im kinda burnt out. Early war just doesnt hold its appeal for me.



As for someones comment on external camera disabled.... i can see why, its a big crutch and gives you far more intell then you should have avialable.

Using external cam while you are submerged would certainly give you way too much into, because being submerged was a major disadvantage due to this inability to gather accurate data.

But on the surface, if you keep it really near your boat and at bridge height, I find it more realistic than the Bridge View.

I say this because I used to be a tanker. If I could sit up in the cupola, and have a good look around I felt I always had excellent situational awareness. But when I had to drop down into the turret, and button up, I reall had no idea what the heck was going on.

The Bridge View has always just felt like an expanded Periscope View to me, and not really conveying the SA advantage being on the surface should.

But certainly like anything else, it is open to exploitation.
