Is it just me or should the word "Patch" never be used to describe a "Sub" sim?
Maybe we should call them "Damage Control Data."

This is the reason I'm not online in here so much: I'm playing the game and I just love the game ( including the "quirks" it has).

The reasons are many. It was 100% nostalgic trip back to the first game that started it all. Who can deny that?!?!

[Payoff]

* PTO US Boats.
* Watch officer automatically goes back up top when I surface. (no more babysitting.)
* Crew rotations. (see above.)
* Binocs automatically capture the screen when selected. (a little thing but handy.)
* Crew on target ships. (why do they wear suits and ties BTW? I've seen alot of fishermen in my day, none ever wore a suit and tie. )
* Moonlit nights are a thing of beauty now.
* Changing weather.
* Real fog. (you have to get real close to id targets now.)
* Variety of missions.

yo,

I have that same video card!

2.8Ghz P4 single core running with 2 gigs of PC3200 RAM and a whimpy power supply to boot (HP factory machine).

SH4 is running sweet. It lags a bit in big battles (Leyte Gulf mission for example), but not to the point of shutting me down. I'm not set to low graphics, but I don't have the extra enviromental effects, post filter and all enabled.

Game loads up in a minute or less.
