So did I, until I reformatted. See other reply by me.

I know a lot of people are able to get it working on multiple microsoft operating systems including 8.1 but Im only able to use it on XP so Im not sure what is meant by that comment. It plays ok on vista but I get the periscope ctd occasionally (too occasionally). Ive just managed to get hold of an Win 7 laptop (not ideal I know) and that will not play any games including sh3 sh4 close combat flight sim etc. My point is XP is the most stable os for sh3 in my opinion. I may be wrong and im sure you guys will tell me but I dont agree with the previous comment

I would like the whole lot, SH3 as the basis of the game with GWX 3.0 detail and SH3 Commander immersion. SH4 graphics, built-in speech recognition to actually give orders, able to play on all sides not just the submarines but escorts and other surface units too. Maybe make the game modular so one module is the u-boat campaign, the other module for the surface ships and another dedicated combat flight simulator style module. Make it an online game where all of the modules mesh together at once creating a virtual Battle of the Atlantic running in cyberspace. I heard on the news the other day there was a big engagement on an online space battle game (I forgot the name of it!) I think this would be the pinnacle of naval and flight simulator acheivements. I just wouldn't let Ubisoft make it because it would take 3 million patches to get it working properly!

+1 to Sailor Steve.

AoD was my most played game of all time. I still throw on a single mission convoy when I've time to kill but not enough time for a full SH3 patrol.

An in-game Nightclub has been one of my most missed aspects of AoD. Thank you SH3Commander!

I pulled every trick outta my hat, but got swabo.
Drops to desktop or won't even launch.
I might just reformat again and stop updates at SP2, where it was working fine.

Wolfpacks that respond to your contact reports. Wolfpacks with AI U-boats that fire torpedoes and submerge.

I'd be happy changing nothing but giving me SH5 graphics.

I think that adding limited ammo to the destroyers would be nice. Once was depth charged for 32 hours straight by a DD in which time he had dropped 1000 depth charges. I seriously doubt they held that many on one ship

I thought this through some more and to me the most important thing to fix, above all else, is game saves. Make it so we can save anyplace, anytime, under any conditions, without any adverse reactions.

Good point.

Nothing worse for me than stumbling onto a convoy just as I am ready to head off to bed. Either I end up letting the convoy go so I can save in peace or rush an attack which usually ends up costing me boat and crew.

To be able to save in the middle of an attack or evasion would be sweet.

Just like CAoD. A early 90's game that got this right!
Used to love watching those little yellow markers moving in on a convoy, waiting till they distract the escorts, and then I am going in!
