[AS]

After reading this thread for a while I´d like to add my two cents:

1) The more I learn about SH3 the more it reminds me of Enigma. Instant battle, arcadish "sub vs. DD". By the way, in reality the BdU would chop your head of in an awkward moment if you told them you let the big convoy slip in order to waste your expensive torps on some ol´ DDs...Sinking DDs was not the job. Just like your B52 wouldn´t engage in attacking some Messerschmidt-planes instead of bombing cities...

2) What about SOUND? Is it done right FOR ONCE?

3) Neal, you gave me sleepless nights by mentioning there will be "360 degree pan" in the control room. Now does this mean we´ll have a FIXED position in the centre just as in Enigma? Please tell me that you can actually WALK around within a compartment...

Cheers, AS

Thanks in advance for replies.

At the beginning, news about grid map travel disguted me.

Now I have to agree that, if well done, this system is not so far from a free course at high time compression rate.
Historical orders for patrols, probably, included orders about the course to follow; at least, to avoid concentration of subs on the same way, and contact missing all around.

Good thing that the choice for next mission, in a campaign, will be hidden to the players, but the system seems very limited.
Ok, difficult to see two identical long careers.
Easy to see, indeed, all early war missions in short time; only 27 alternative missions to cover a 3 patrol career.
