Lol, I'd bump it up to 100% but I don't want to lose the option of teleporting back to base. As Sailor Steve so eloquently phrased it: "What if I lose my rudder, man?"

Well I defiently see the need for the "dead your dead rule", and only save for CTD and of course saving progress. Also I see the need for crew fatigue. How else would you model this in? Perhaps programming the crew to shift every 8-12 hours considering the intensity of the task inside the u boat? what do you think?

That's one of the improvements that came with SH4 - the crew are shown in three separate shifts, and they rotate themselves out regularly.

Can't be done in SH3.

Nothing wrong with that. Just don't go say it on the SH5 boards.

Oh, I see that I didn't make sense.

On the gramophone, I never include music or broadcasts made after 1945; however, that is as far as my pickiness goes. So, in 1939, I sometimes will hear a song from 1944 or a speech from 1943.

I'm the same way so far, although I don't put speeches or other "radio broadcast" stuff in there (not yet anyway). Nothing that I believe or know would not have been available before or during the war years, and nothing released in Britain after the war starts. And if it's something from the States, nothing that would not have been available before Dec 1941 since I assume that anything released over here after the US entered the war would not have made its way into the collection on board a German u-boat.

However if someone wants to tell me otherwise I'll be happy to hear it as I had to cut some of my favorites out of the playlist for that reason.

Whether or not US recordings were readily available at all times before that I have no idea, but that's where I've chosen to draw the line.

That's just popular contemporary music, though, with classical music I don't care if the recording I have on hand is a performance from 1995, if it was being performed and (I assume) recorded before the war, and I like it, it goes in.

I have a list of German hits organized by date, and I have them in SH3C. I have a lot more that I know nothing about, so they're in there all the time.

If the suit fits...wear it.
