SH4 on Wikipedia

[OlegM]

The game will introduce a new type of adversarial multi-player which will allow one player to take control of a convoy or task force's escorting destroyers and bring them to bear against other players' submarines. The player controlling the destroyers will be using a third-person interface similar to the one used by the players in charge of the submarines.

Where did you get that, specifiically part about third person interface?? Any screenshots?

I am interested in SH4 primarily for multiplayer. To be honest I found SH3's ultra-realistic campaign kinda boring and pointless (OK that's just me, no need to make me see the light).
