The Silent Hunter that never was, part I ? A real periscope

Simple and optional, but not both at the same time. Or make it optional to have a periscope -- that would be even better.

Just for you, you can do it "old school" and do the sonar approach/attack

Yeah. Who needs a periscope thingy anyway?

EDIT: *cedes thread to more serious people*

Hey Dan, it's good to see you around.

I remember the periscope background from SH2. Same sort of thing, except of course it didn't move, which of course a lot of people complained about. I think it's a cool idea, but as Jason said it might be distracting. Of course people can concentrate and ignore it. We do that all the time with the dials.

My personal preference is for a black background and a lens that fills up the entire screen, but using the available options doesn't bother me as you just learn to ignore the background. So yeah, I think it would be cool, but the question is, does it actually add to the game?

It wouldn't distract me at all, I think. But I agree with McBee and Sailor Steve that it could be distracting to some players. Make it optional like nikimcbee suggested and we'd have the best of both worlds depending on our preferences.
