Someone must do a "meet the crew" video of the das boot scene where they are on the deck of the sub in the sub pen . Please . I like these videos .

Actually, that might be important.... In both SH3 and SH4, both the map and the actual 3d globe were cylinders. On a cylinder, all of the earth parallels have the same length. Thus spherical navigation becomes a linear navigation and a great circle is equal to the corresponding loxodrome. The distances along a parallel becomes greater and greater as you move away from the equator, a fact easily noticed if you try to travel from Murmansk to Greenland

We already know that the map in SH5 is cylindrical. So... why THIS comment about the navigator? Is it just a smart-ass reminder that any line you draw will be a fake "great circle"? Or is it proof that the globe 3D model is actually a GLOBE? This would be amazing as all the rules of celestial navigation would work properly. Even more, we would only need real navigation charts and slim down all un-included features (I highly doubt they'll include local magnetic deviations). The map could be simplified and left as a "White sheet". or an overlay for different image files (the maps). That would be amazing, don't you agree?

Quick, Pizza Hut just rang, they want all their cheese back!

Honestly, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

The view crew is not working over there. Is there a secret password?
Is it soup, or MOO?

Have you noticed on the PC requirement page, it says: "Internet connection required".

SH5 will be no exception, DRM's in.....

That is if we actually have crew topside and other u-boats in sh-5.

Unfortunately i can still view the page.

Another interesting thing , executive officer can make that the submarine will turn faster and while in silent running, everything stands still, from engines to people moving. The boat will become almost invisible for enemy sonar.

...
as for the navigator - who said he changes the curvature of the earth?

I think the problem people have with the abilities is not the fact that taking care of the torpedoes gives them a longer range. It's the fact that this torpedoman can make the warhead do more damage. Or the guy who can make the boat turn faster. Or dive deeper. Or the magic senses of the hydrophone operator. These are things that just would not be possible.

The Warhead has a certain amount of explosive of a certain type. Unless the torpedoman is bringing aboard extra explosives and rebuilding the warheads while on patrol, the torpedo will not be more powerful. The turning of the boat is controlled by physics. The crew is not going to be able to bend space and time to make the boat turn any faster. The crush depth of the boat is based on physics as well. The chief engineer can't keep the hull from imploding with happy thoughts. If the hydrophone operator can't hear a ship, how is he supposed to be able to give you it's location?

That's what's wrong with these abilities. There is no way they can work without magic.

As for the navigator, if I get a navigator who doesn't know how to plot a great circle route, he's getting tossed overboard and replaced with someone who wasn't sleeping in class.
