I have to say, the torpedo simulation was there, but only with 2 guys.

You need to use that mod. The animations aren't completely fluid, but one by one the watch crew will "descend" the ladder and move to their posts on the dive planes.

Thanks, I didn't install this mod because I use the das boat mod... It says that it is not compatible. Maybe I have to try it anyway.

why not make a mod which brews coffie and adds some amphetamine to it, making all my crew extra alert during the hunt?

haha, did you know that radioactive soap was popular at the start of the last century....or that heroine was given to american housewifes, as a cure for boredom and stress? It pays to be paranoid sometimes just wait til the 'mobile phone-associated earcancers start to grow haha...

I dont have a problem with walking around the U-Boat. I personally see it as one of the big improvements in SH5. For years, posters on the sh3/4 forums have been asking exactly for this, the ability to walk around the whole boat and now that we have it, people complain..

If they patch the sonar guy so we can control him as in sh3/4, you could run everything from the command room, just going up to the bridge or conning tower when you need to.

As it is, I rarely go to the bow or stern, but it is nice to know I can. My boat was recently depth charged and sustained damage in the engine room. After I had slipped away from the escorts, I popped in to the engine room to see how the repairs were going. You could see water spurting from some of the pipes. Unfortunately, there is no damage control animations as in SH4. Hopefully, that will be added in time.

I agree with you on the crew management. The sh3/4 system did require too much micro-management. The SH5 concept of restricting the skipper's interaction to the officers/petty officers actually makes sense, but the present RPG type skills will have to be modded to more realistic naval skills.
