If they do a good job detailing the individual types (performance, charecteristics, etc.), it could be a very good thing.

Yes it could. If done right this could get very interesting.

Unknowns/random events like being blown off course due to weather resulting in a failure to meet up with other boats at the proper time and coordinates. (ya I can dream )

That sounds like a great idea!

Aw, man! Somebody has hacked my account, and is now following me around making duplicates of my posts!

[BigVette]

Nice, I'm in!

Ooohhhh......can't wait.

Everything looks very nice, from the U-boat to the seas (no more empty sea floor), and even the ship explosions look amazing.

for sure, it must be this, refueling from milk cows or merchants (there are VII refueling submarines ?) or the range of VII is the same of a IX in the config files .

But go to Madagascar only with 14 torpedoes is a bad idea.

+3 (extra blah to increase post size to greater than 3 characters)

Seems that the sub run over rails, the same problem of sh4 , no improvements here at the moment.

No more heavy rough seas sensations of Sh3

Like two or more destroyers under German flag in the Med as in this video

The only one destroyer served under German flag in the Med was the occupied Greek destroyer Vasilefs Georgios, renamed to ZG3 Hermes.
The Hermes mainly escorted convoys in the Aegean Sea and occasionally from Crete to Tobruk.

I am not so worried about what DD's served where and when as I am worried about the technical aspects like ASDIC performance near the surface and aircraft leathality.

AND I WANT COMPRESSED AIR TO HAVE A MODEL DAMMIT!

It sure looks nice esspecially the water! But I really think they should not take this UGLY and very strange Attackscreen / Periscope for the release! Sorry guys but compared to the obviously other great (graphics) improvements that is a laugh! The "good old one" from SH 3 looks a hundred times better imo. Why not polish that a little (necessary at all!?) bit and use it again!? Hope the game can and will be modded anyway - and that really would be at least one detail to improve!

WHERE the ROUGH SEA???
