I guess there are many animated parts (soldiers, nurses, cranes, welders, guns moving up and down for no reason ) and that is the culprit. But I don't know if this is normal behaviour or there's something wrong in my DW install.

And in case it's a known issue, has it been fixed in any way? Thanks.

not sure about your frame rate issue.
normally, i do not start at the "tender" which, when playing the German side, is the sub pens.

never noticed everyone saluting and waving. nice touch.

i fired up a new career out of Lorient and had no difficulty shoving off from within the sub pen @ 2kts and TC=32.
if you are playing on a laptop, IMHO that is probably the issue, as laptops are not designed to keep up with old, graphic intensive apps such as SH4 with Dark Waters.

now that you have seen the nurses waving adios to you, start your mission remote from the tender and go sink some ships.
