I'm a little tired of seeing those screenshots of the ships at sea, sailing merrily along etc with not a soul on board.

Realistic hmm not so. Empty gun emplacements, empty decks, deserted, abandoned Bow, Stern, port and Starboard areas all deserted of anyone what so ever.

"Ghost ship flottilas !"

And I fear that it might be too late into the development process of the game now to ask if there are going to be any sailors, crew etc modelled onto these ships..even static non-moving representations of them would be fine. Better I think than nobody at all.

Its like a fleet of Mary Celestes !

The lack of any crew or intricate detail on the ships was conspicuous to me as well. I suspect that the ships are modelled to be viewed at 2000m through a periscope, not to be looked at very closely with a floating camera. If there were crew we would almost never see them, and it would probably come at the expense of a hefty performance hit.

may be we could see survivor when a ship sunk, some life boat could be a more realistic add.

And see some small ship of the convoy come to rescue them could be cool

[Profy_le_Troll]

Life boat, hehe nice idea so we will be happy to ermpty our machine guns on them

Remember Furher's order "No prisoner of war"

[Delphin-U190]

Not exactly the truth...

Admiral Reader give order to not rescue the survivor after an U Boot have been attacked by plane during it towing rescue boat charged with passenger and italian prisonner of war.

The U boot escape by diving but some life boat sunk due to the plane straff and the diving of the U-boot

Hi.....

Read about the Laconia incident.........

After a "Liberator" plane attack to a "U-Boot" towing Laconia's survivors in life boats......... the order was "not rescue survivors", due to the allied attack to subs rescueing survivors........vey far and diferent than to "kill suvivors"

The B-24 "Liberator" attack fails, and hit the survivors boats instead the sub, killing lot of Laconia's survivors..........


PD :

In the History Channel, in a document film, they saids the original oreder of Hitler to Doenitz was to kill the survivors......

But Doenitz respnse was .....

"Negative Fuerer, my boys are the elite of the elite, and this kind of order can destroy their moral.........."

Converting him self in the first officer to said "NO" to a Fuerer direct order in his face.........

If I do not remember bad, the film saids this fact had influence in his martial court at Neurember........

We have had a big discussion on ships with crew.

Yes I know.......

Away from that, would be great to see ship evacuation........

A really inmersive feature.........

Regrettablelly, we will have not this feature due to some kids looking for to shoot survivors........

it's bizzare really
games like grand theft auto actively encourage the player to beat old ladys to a pulp with base ball bats in order to steal their cars...yet having crew on ships in a subsim is taboo.....me-thinks things have gotten turned round some-where along the line...political correctness is a contradiction in terms..

of course GTA is not a simulation.(who can tell these days LOL)..
