No, imagine all the processing power that would need.

You'll see plankton and algae at periscope depth from time to time.

I am sure there will be atleast 1 fish (and I do not mean a torpedo) in SH4.

I will shine Neil his shoes in case I am wrong

Thats not as hard to animate as a 3D object which will have to bend and turn and move. Unless they make them 2D fish which swim at the same depth with no direction change.

It would be nice to have some whale songs in the background once in a great while. Would add to the immersion but not much to the processing power required.

SH3 had dolphins hidding in the code , and some talented modders managed to deliver them. For SH4 in the Pacific the appropiate would probably be SHARKS I'd really love to see a "big white" lurking around my boat with its finn out of the water instead of those boring dolphins (I will already have two golden dolphins in my brest by then ). How I envy the australians, who can see those fabulous animals at sea...

Hmmm... Sharks nibbling at the feet of those
poor souls that just had their ship blown from
beneath their feet.... SWEET...

Flying fish landing on the deck would be nice, so I can reach out and grab one for dinner!

Sadly also historically correct
