I guess in combat i will remain mostly in the control room but on long patrols just transiting i would like to have a stroll throught the whole lengt of the u-boat from time to time.

Don't get me wrong (not suggesting you are), I'd like to be able to walk through as well, and I can imagine it might lead to some interesting aspects of gameplay (for example, imagine you get a damage control benefit by going to the relevant compartment, but that doing so necessarily restricts some of your command options...interesting....).

What I don't want is technical accuracy being lost by too much time being spent on pretty graphics. That is a curse affecting many PC games these days.....

I'm with Steeltrap here, the main reason for my love affair with SH3/GWX is down to the atmospheric gameplay which helps immersion hugely. The walking through the sub and being able to interact with some other characters, I feel, would be a novelty thing at first, but due to the constraints of being a computer sim, would become a repetitive exercise.
I would much rather the money,time and expertise to be spent on more imaginative and realistic AI behaviour. I don't want to feel I'm watching the same film over and over again with the same characterisations. The ability to have to come up with different plans and approaches to a given situation, and seeing the differing results, good or bad, that arise from your actions is what does it for me.
Just my tuppence worth.

I'd quite like to see some Italian boats, BETASOM had quite a few based in France. Even considering that they were pretty useless it'd be an interesting diversion.

On a slightly more likely note, I think a what-if scenario Type XI with the gun turrets would be fun.

A Type XI?
With gun turrets?
Huh?
