You know what would be cool

I haven't paid a lot of attention to subsims lately. Ever since I got burned out on SH2, I haven't really played that many. But as I am relearning Sub Command, I am becoming more and more interested in DW.

I was just looking around all the screenshots of player stations, and I must say I am amazed. Actually, that is an understatement. Then I remembered reading where different people can occupy different stations on the same platform, and I had a wonderful idea.

Imagine a Dangerous Waters version of SH3, or SH1. 1 Guy is the captain (Scope and Bridge view), 1 Guy the torpedo officer, 1 Guy the navigator, 1 Guy the TDC guy, 1 Guy is the deck Gun commander (when surfaced), and 2 or three guys man the AA guns. Can you imagine how fun that would be?

The Captain ooks through the scope, gets bearing, range, and speed of a target. He passes these to the TDC guy. The Navigator reccomends an intercepting course, and the torpedo officer loads the tubes, checks the torpedoes, and awaits the order to fire. If one guy screws up, everyone looses. An immense amount of teamwork would be needed, and doing it like that would make even the smallest of multiplayer battles incredibly exciting.

Kinda sounds like a multiplayer verson of Red Ocktober's upcoming subsim(s) Pacific/Cold War Patrol.

Would manning 1 sub with 8 players be fun?

Each player wouldn't have very much to do, especially in the less intense parts of a mission.

I can't imagine waiting with your finger at the fire button until your buddy tells you to launch is fun.

2 or 3 people would be the maximum for me.
