Subsim Video: New Manual TDC Video in HD (2/13/10)

kinda liked it but still have big reservations, looks very arcadish.Lifebars, to the target lock/unlock appearing in scope when cursor is on a ship.Prob doesnt matter for me anyway bc of the DRM.The torpedo impact was nice.I am tired of the devs recycling same old sounds.They should take a q from modders and use different sounds for the scopes moving up and down and torpedos leaving the tubes etc ah well

i wished they had made the geyser from the torpedo detonation and torpedo bubble trail a bit more like the ones in pt boats knights of the sea, but its the same old effects since silent hunter 3 (i think the bubble trail from silent hunter 3 is more authentic lookking than the one in silent hunter 4).

Lifebars are optional and can be turned off.

Will I be able to use the "fast 90" method (or derivative thereof) of attack? One of the things I liked about the uboat's TDC is if I have target speed and heading I can point and shoot at any ship in a convoy using one of these methods.

Given what appears to be a relatively short development time, I remain concerned about bugs. Both SH3 and 4 (along with uboat missions) had way too many; and some real immersion killers too.

Gonna wait.....

I dont think I am going out on a limb if I say that yes there will be bugs and yes some of them will be immersion killers.

Yes, the devs said so in some early interview. However, I had the impression that preview version doesn't have such option.

I don't like the new UI, either. It just doesn't look like WWII u-boat simulation.
