Things you like or don't like about SH4 - Page 8

when sub is set for "silent running" and giving order to surface, loud horn goes off.
the horn sound can be avoided by giving a "periscope depth" order.

i know this is only cosmetic bug, but anyway; i think it shouldn't be possible to play horns in a sub which is under "silent running"?

Hello y'all, it's been an extremely long time since I posted in the forum, but work obligations and the daily toll kind of kept me off the SH saga permanently, at least until I bought SH4. (Quite a hefty amount of money I had to pay since to play the game I also needed a new graphics card and ultimately a new PSU but anyway SH4 was the best excuse I needed!

).

Having been 'out' for a long time I believe may provide me with a more distanced view of some things missing in SH4.

To begin with, where is the command to navigator (????) from SH3 that provides the range given the available oil reserve?

There is nothing more frustrating than to leave Pearl Harbor (in 1941), resupply in Midway, reach Honshu and begin a great and exciting patrol but then run out of 'gas' on the way back!!

Whereas in SH3, all you had to do was ask the navigator (???) and you had a very clear picture of the range given your current oil reserve.

On the other hand, there might be such a command somewhere that I missed on the manual, which brings me to another issue - why does Ubisoft issue great games with crappy manuals :p? (Same story with Lock On where no printed version of a manual was even present!).

At least charge a €1 or 2 extra and package a decent manual!

But I believe this opens a totally different chapter and I may be taking this too off-topic.

Anyway, great to be back!!!

Like the Graphics hate the bugs guess we need to wait for the patches now

Just a short request.

Can you make the Chronograph, Radio, Message box, etc.... Remember where they are and stay in position even after I exit the game.

PS:
I also wish we could zoom in REAL close and much farther (x3) away in Unit Views (, .)

There are far to many planes, it is driving me nuts, it took me an hour to travel from Hawaii to Japan. Very boring trip.

Why do I get the feeling that this thread will go on and on loooong after even Patch 1.7?:p

Since I started playing today, I have been having one crash after another, possibly the bug reported about loading some saved games....

Somehow I sense an old feeling.... a feeling that takes me back to the days of Falcon 4.0 release 1.0

I just went out on my 11th war patrol. Wasgiven command of the brand new Balao for all my hard work (1 battleship, 2 heavy crusiers, 2 carriers, tons of tonnage) I didn't do my objective (drop a spy in Tokyo Harbor) but I sank 51,000 tons. I get back to Brisbane to find out I was transfered to Freemantle (thanks for telling me) I finnaly dock and get retired. I don't mind retiring (got to sell the war bonds and such) but the game says I was retired becuase my boat was out dated???? I was just given the lead boat of a brand new class!

This thread has served its purpose, time to unsticky it.

Wow! This thread is like a ship that lost it's anchor ... on it's way down.

My post might be the last one before it reaches the portal of no return ...

Lets see now things I like about SH4 ... it's about submarine warfare in the Pacific in WWII ...

Things I don't like about SH4 that both patches 1.1 and 1.2 don't come on the original DVD ...

Will we be able to get a version of SH4 DVD only with both patches? :hmm:
