One important thing they got right that I have not seen mentioned before.

I am having fun playing this video game

Is it perfect?

Are there things I want changed?

But right now am I enjoying my video game playing experience with SH4?

In a downpour at night (strangly the seas were fairly calm) I torpedo a tanker. Stalked it, lost it, then tracked it for a bit. Went to the deckgun and started shooting at it. The tanker snapped on its spotlights and started returning fire. Was a great effect, scared the crap out of as I had not seen a merchant type flip on its searchlights before. My first thought was, where the hell did that DD come from!?

You know, like the signal lights, there are things that occur to me when playing the game but I tend to "forget" them once I'm out.

The E-7 chief character on the lookout deck really does look authentic. The guy looks like a total dirtbag, but 1944 salty. It's just once of those things that immediately struck me -- yeah, that's pretty realistic.

"Hey, chief. Anyone ever tell you that you look like a real dirtbag?"
"All the time, Skipper. But I don't let'em bother me none."

The signal lights are great. I was stalking a task force and saw one of the BB's signaling a destroyer.

Little did I know that means that they spotted me and the destroyer promptly sent me to the bottom.

Lol, I had the same thing with the DD in a convoy. I saw him signal and start a turn towards me. I dived deep, and he and his buds kept me busy for about three hours.

The DD are pretty good in the game. I had them keep me down for about 2 hours last night

Another thing I noticed. As I was sitting on the bottom of shallow water and getting POUNDED by a DD I watched my men in the control room be thrown back and forth, back and forth. Uber cool. They didn't look like they were enjoying it, either.

Good attention to detail, that. Something other than the magnetically glued feet and internal gyroscopic gimbals the control room crew of SH3 has, no matter how the sub shakes and shimmies.
