You can give most orders from anywhere on (or off) the Sub (at least I can with the Keyboard Command mod, never tried stock), but if you're not in the Engine Room when you give the order to go to Flank then you can't watch as the Engines rev up in all their glory.

Das Boot most definitely has an effect on my playing. Konvoi, plays through my mind as my boat rushes to an intercept point of a convoy to set up a shot.

Every now and then I will try the speed boat attack the captain of U-96 does, those are fun. You do feel like a wolf rushing in on prey. If there is an escort not seen, and he pops out of no where, the immersion is just fantastic.

The ensuing depth charge attack amidst the creaks and groans of your sinking prey is surrealistic.

This is my experience with SH3 modded with GWX.

I hope, just hope, Sh5 can be modded to this level, and not have the same fate as 4, which for me is gathering dust on the shelf.

Didn't one of the devs say they were going for a 'Das Boot movie' experience with SH5? I'm almost sure I read that somewhere..

If, by that, he meant the part of the movie where the U-boat sinks, he's definitely right...

Bottom line is, this IS a great game with even greater modding/scripting capabilities (making it even better) however we just need to give it some time (way too much time sadly, as there will be months, maybe even a year or so untill the last final patch will be implemented), and also if (though it's highly unlikely) we would have the GWX team (the modding legends of SH imo ) actually finish this game (since the devs wouldn't) it would be beyond SH3, and for a few years become the greatest sub sim.
NOTE: I'm not boasting the game (because at the moment it's pretty much ) but if we have patience, give it some time, let the modders get the hang of the game, and not to mention the hopefully as many patches as it takes to fix at least some of the game's present issues. So this is just what I think... I don't know about you all but i guess i still have faith that the game can become better.

We called them "voice tubes." Not sure what the Germans call them. They're fun to pour water down and douse the new guys below.
