The faceless crew

[daft]

Just to clarify, this isn't a patch request. It's a feature suggestion for any other WW2 subsim that might surface in the future. Now carry on men

Folks say that there is not much game left in the WW2 era, but with things like your first post and others there is a lot of potential for growth

That's just the thing. First, everyone wants more of the same since the first thing was so totally awesome. They get like 200 clones or nearly identical copies and grow tired of the concept. Look at all the WW2 FPS' there's out there. None of have even come close to telling an actual story or in any way tried to convey emotions beyond the adrenaline rushes you get from a really intense fire fight (nothing wrong with that though). Now everyone's saying that WW2 FPS' are a dime a dozen and that we don't need any more. If the developers could just change the concept, we could still have a good solid gameplay coupled with an intriguing story. Same goes for subsims I guess. There's more to subs than just technical details. I would love for any developer to apply some more layers to their work beyond the cool technical aspects. There are a lot of WW2 games out there, but very few WW2 experiences.

Good point, games like everything else that becomes popular, quick turn redundant

Options are always nice, these could be fleshed out more in the SH Series and beyond.

Well said daft

have to agree that I do feel alone out there.

even SH3 had a WO to help out.

I think a more interactive crew who perhaps suggested options to the captain wouldnt go amiss. Even, dare I say, crew objecting to the captains orders with a possibility of utilising a procedure (whatever its called) that allows the first officer to remove the captain from office if he was just plain dangerous:p

I'm not sure I really want a WWII experience
