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

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?
