I also hope there will be no more "separation" between interior and exterior world like in SH3/4. It would be great to be able to check your charts (or whatever), then climb the ladder to the conning tower, and to the bridge, discovering the sky and sea as you climb. Very atmospheric

yes, or even be able to dive out of your sinking sub, till the flooding level of tranparent water inside the central has reached the hatch and so on....

after reaching the surface, you have to swim of course, away from that aproaching sharks

, to maybe an approaching escort...

Seemless interior to exterior would be nice but could take a big toll on the poly and texture budget. That little hiccup in our PCs when we go from inside to outside now ain't for its own health. Perhaps the hatch could animate open, showing the sky directly above and it could fade to black (night) or white (day) and then back to normal as the exterior environment was rendered.

You're wrong there. The conning tower acts as an intermediary between the interior and exterior. As you climb the stair, which takes a few seconds, the exterior loads. It would be seamless and open up the possibility of flooding the sub if someone forgets to close the hatch

. No more teleporting from the deck to the CR when you stay those extra seconds as the sub crash dives... You drown

You'll see there is no problem with that

why i cant board other ships?11 wheres the sniper kit! This game suxx!11

Seriously, though... running? Sorry, but why on earth would that be a difficulty setting? The CO stayed in the control room or on the bridge 99% of the time during action. It's not as if he needed to run to the torpedo room to fire eels himself, he just stood there and gave orders. I think you're delving too deeply into this whole FP thing. /my opinion.

I don't think the first person will ever be required. Maybe they will add a "lock" on the first person mode as a difficulty option, much like No External Views in the current games.

My impression, too. FP will be a gimmick like the ability to man guns yourself, but not something you have to make use of.

maerean_m, you've got most of us very excited. I hope you'll pay for my new keyboard after it fails from being drooled on too much.

This is how I think they should implement the 1st person deal. Have the "instant buttons" but do not have them instantly take you to the place. Instead your captain has to walk to the desired compartment. Allow intercommunication through talky tubes though. So if the captain wants to talk to engineering he goes to a squawk box. When you click on that, you get little icon representing the various compartments with squawk boxes. I think the uboats had tubes though. Not sure on that.

A system like this I think would be very realistic. You don't just flash from one point to another, so if you are in the forward of the ship you have to make your way to the control, and the crew need to "make a hole" for the commander. That would be cool. There should also be a toggle for quick or slow movement.
