I just had this conversation in MSN and wondered if im alone in missing this part of SHIII

a memory from SHIII
sailing south of london i was searching for shipping and keeping an eye out for planes when suddenly BANG! water fired into the sky, and before i know it im submerging rapidly,. damage reports are going of the scale, heavy flooding, hull damage, engine destroyed, bow torps destroyed, crew wounded. and 4 dead.
and i smash onto the sea bed. where i am effectivly dead in the water. flooding is insane and it takes all my crew in that compartment to get it under control. this was at dawn.

at around 10 o clock that night we got on to the surface again.
we had hit a mine. and ran out of fuel as we sailed into the mouth of our harbour
very very good time it was, it had me nervous the whole time

i couldnt even surface at first till we had done a lot of damage control although my patrol was ruined i hadnt engaged any enemies yet, just sailed into a mine trying to skirt around the brits destroyers.
fankly the whole thing was nerve wracking and exciting too.

SHIV
we have damage ( every damage report possible pops up instantly and i die, this takes about 10 seconds)

that makes me sad. now if i get flooding, its game over.
so u just give up.;

in SHIII i could very easily have died in the position i found myself in, it was a crazy race against time to control the flooding,. and then it took ages to get back onto the surface, and i made it literaly into the mouth of the nearest harbour before i ran out of gas.

i miss that.
what about all of you ? i will say this is damage controll in SHIV is more realistic than in SHIII then its a concesion to realism i would happily make to have it back to SHIII levels again.
in SHIII you could die, but you could survive with a historic (das boot) tail to tell.
in shiv you die....
