HF/DF is indeed modelled in SH5. It was even modelled in SH3.

... the average real-life experience on a U-boat entailed days or months of mind-numbing boredom and routine punctuated by a few minutes or hours of intense excitement - culminating in death.

Well of course you'd want to be on the map to TC, why would you do otherwise? I've always done TC this way, otherwise how would you know where you are and how far you'd gone, and if you've reached the point you want to get to?

I think what you want is an action game, not a sim.

As you're meant to. It'd be a bit pointless to have time compression if it didn't make things go faster. That's... kinda what it's there for.

Imagine SHV with a PS3 controller

After playing the Call of Duty: United Offensive mission where you run around in a B-17, I always wanted a sub mission in some CoD game. Firing torpedoes, firing flak guns, turning a valve or two, all in an intense "everything happening at once" kind of way that only CoD can do.

Maybe that's how SHVI will be :P .

All the stuff you mentioned sounds nice one the sheet, but ingame it would probably just be boring and/or frustrating. Its great for mods and simheads like yours truly, but the avarage subgame enthusiast probably wouldn't dig it on bit.
