If your out in the middle of nowhere and suddenly come across for example, a swordfish, you can guarantee there is an Illustrious somewhere in your vicinity.

Of course they weren't in visual sight. I was cheating and using external view to see what the big task force was made up of. Hee hee hee.

Some things I would like to see in SH5, together with all the things mentioned in all the other posts:

- A manual entry in the captains log. At the moment all data (tonnage, type of ship) is automatically 'written down'. Make it so that I have to identify, estimated tonnage and guess when the ships has been sunk (also, loose the 'she is going down message', and write all of this in my captains log. This way you can make mistakes on the tonnage total or even if a ship has been sunk or only damaged
-Make the medic useful: when patrolling in high seas it could happen that some men get washed overboard or are injured.
-Model on board fires, acid fumes etc
-Get the option to surrender and/or scuttle my boot. To many times I got damaged by planes and lost both diesel and electric engines.

Another thing I just came up with: as part of the sub's damage model you should have the option to give the order to test the state of the pressure hull. I read somewhere in a u boat diary that the kaleun gave the order to find out whether the pressure hull was intact by inflating air in the room (if i remember correctly).

I must say that's a new one on me

I'm surprised no one has wanted a working head.

Here is the link to the captains log I was talking about:

On page 11 it says a low pressure test was conducted. Don´t know what they exactly mean by a low pressure test. A shallow dive?

I agree with all the requests in here,but one thing I would like to see modelled in the game is snow and ice,and its effects on the crew and boat.Especially true if on the Arctic lanes,and around Scandinavia etc
Not sure if that has been mentioned before

In a Documentary I saw recently on the UC-3 Nautilus this was done prior to test dives. Air pressure rises is the sub it tight. In the test I saw the hatch actually sealed itself because of this, somebody had to let Peter out.

Be a neat effect in game.
