I have NEVER had any problems with any version of SHC.

The problem is the USER.

Correct, but try convincing them of that.

Common sense and logic seems to go out the window when computer usage is involved.

If they would only take the manual from under the leg of their cheap desk and look it over .

In all seriousness, I will consider developing an SH5Cmdr

Maybe the devs will include some options from the Cmdr.... just trying to think positive

Unfortunately Firewall has only quoted part of my post. If you read the full post in the link I posted above, you'll notice that I have commented exactly as you just posted.

U-boat: A cramped tube holding 50 or so men, with barely room to move.

So you sink a merchant. What then? Pick up another 30-40 ENEMY sailors. Sink another merchant. Pick up another 40 men. Where do you put them? How do you feed them.

Sorry, just didn't happen.

I agree with Sailor Steve. Historically, U-Boats were only supposed to pick up at most a handful of survivors who might be of intelligence value. For instance, on uboat.net you will often read that the master or 1-2 officers of a freighter were captured after it sank. This would be a nice feature immersion-wise for SH5 - perhaps you could gain some extra renown if the survivors gave up vital intelligence info. Codebooks, convoy charts, signalling codes, & other documents being recovered for renown would be a nice touch too. But full-fledged search & rescue is a bit much.

Or maybe put that MG34 we see in SH3's conning tower to a better use.
