Incredible!
Go on install the game!

Mag Torpedoes? I have no idea i just load and fire away.
Transparent crew always on? Nope mine dont look transparent.
Non function periscope animation. Nope it works.

Played one patrol since patch 3, SS boat 1941, and must of had one of the best patrols since owning the game. Attacking a taskforce the AI do now ping and attack you like they should i spent more time evading the taskforce than attacking them. Plus it was just on evening, a storm happening and only 180 feet of water beneath me.

This is a great game. You should first load her up and try the game yourself then come back here and see if you have the same thoughts.

[ A little Aussie gaming magazine gave Silent Hunter 4 a 9/10 score said its the best subsim to come out since Aces of the Deep a better update from silent hunter 3. Just recently SH4 was added in their top 100 of best games. The reviewer has been reviewing subsims since Fast Attack so is no noob. Yes shock horror i expected a score of 7, yet he gave it a 9. PCPowerplay might not be known in the states or UK well enough but they have a 300 thousand plus following of gamers.]

9 out 10. Gotta love the aussies

not the scope animation itself, the animation of the moving brass scope pipes inside the coning tower is now switched off (worked until this patch)

If you have nothing else to worry about, consider yourself lucky.......it has nothing to do with the game, it's only eye candy....

I couldn't care less....
