Unless I see a video or screen of it then it is not in game. There is no rough seas, no seagulls, no torpedos, no conning tower emblems and no dang growin' beards!

I am shocked and appalled that you people are taking this serious issue so lightly!

It's the uniforms, man! they need to be clean and pressed when leaving port, and get more ragged and filled with soup stains as time goes on, and then out come the good ones when returning to port!

And if I don't get a fully functioning head I'm gonna plotz!

In the original trailer he (you) looks in a mirror at his beard. In the game? Who knows?

Hmm. Commander in trailer appears to be suitably scruffy. However, jarring effect of him narrating in English almost ruins effect.

In conclusion:
"Tiefer, LI!" = dead sexy scruffy commander
"Deeper, dammit!" = eh, not so much

Haha!
As it happens, Ubi do answer questions on these "Critical issues".

They said they taught about it and will include growing beards if there is time to add it.

Well, mine did, but the hormone therapy seems to have put a stop to it.

Years back there was talk of developing a PC peripheral that would spray a "scent" that would add to immersion. I can only imagine what that would smell like for a sub sim. Phew!

The beards do not grow but the game is furnished with a black and brown crayon. Simply focus your mouse on each crewmen in turn. Use the crayon of your choice and simply drew the beard on the LCD screen. Be creative
