I voted for movie ticket,love watching the action as it happens. Maybe if there where more going on inside the sub i wouldn't use it as much, but right now the crew dosen't seem very real. Besides how can i enjoy Leo's ROW from inside the sub?

When I'm doing "paperwork" at home (actually working on the work laptop), I often fire up SH4 with ROW, and let the boat putt across the Pacific in real time with the external view on. Something soothing about the wave action, colors and sounds in the background while WWII era music is playing over the radio.

Color me 'occasional'. In SH3 I always tried to stay inside, but I really love looking at the harbor traffic, and looking at my sub from other viewpoints - especially looking down from the plane's view. It's a hard one to give up.

I imagine it will be the same for SH4; that ocean sure is pretty.

interesting effect going on with your ocean there looks odd

My vote went to Movie Ticket too...for the same reasons Q3ark mentioned.

ekempey · 01-12-08, 03:52 PM

I never use it anymore, as running a low end computer forces the frame rates down to 2-3fps in external view, and 5-7 in periscope view. Besides I like the suspense that TM 1.7.5 gives me watching a DD bear down on me through the periscope (and the crash diving that proceedes).

:rotfl:I used it religiously before I was making vids too, I love the ability to roam like a bird. I rarely use it to cheat, and mostly in ports. Like Stve I love watching the sub from above, when it glides slowly along. Subsims ftw!

First One !! although I would not call it "Lifes Blood" but rather my window to
see how the AI is reacting to everything I do. Then someday (when layers are
fully upgraded to historical levels) I can begin my first campaign knowing that
I will not get all the Dev shortcuts that came with the stock game....
