Things that were done right!

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.

I like the periscopes how its a dark background with pullout tools when u need them. You dont get that "looking at" feeling as in SH3, its now "looking through" the periscope.

What most have said - detail detail and detail! Beautiful game to just load up and view. On a calm day at persicope depth looking above the water in external camera viewing your sub cruise along is amazing i can never get sick of that effect, I can see my submarine under the water from above!. This would of been an awesome effect for Kapitans in the Mediterrainean in SH3. During WW2 in some med areas aircaft could spot uboats from the air at 60feet submerged.

Just playing some, seeing the sub come up from below deserves a couple of
these

Unfortunate for me the monolith and volumetric fog slows me down on FPS.....but the new patch has handled the monolith and fog is in its own separate box to check or uncheck.....another thing they have done right all be it in a patch
