Okay, I'm taking applications for crew positions on U-17, MY frigging UBoat. If I don't get enough applicants, you will be conscripted, just like for real. so sign up...Or else.

Due to the fact that I'm awesome, I demand the sonarman position again.

Well, I can always sign up again as Watch Officer.

There were no conscripts on the U-Boats.

This said, what good is a boat without torpedomen?

MRDOD will take Torpedo Mate or any sort of weapons system you can fit him in.

It's like two alternate universes- One MRDOD fixes damage, one MRDOD creates it! In Soviet Bizzario World, You Hunt Submarine!

Too bad we don't have a modern day sub sim. That would be bloody sweet. Instant sunshine anyone?

Dangerous Waters.

You were saying? except it has a manual to make ME freak out, and its realistic enough to scare Shep I think.

Except DW sucks compared to SHIII. The graphics aren't half as good, there is no crew or 3d modeled control room (which creates a lot of the mood in SHIII), and the torpedo damage model just plain sucks ass.

C'mon, since when does a Kilo-class have to expend all it's torpedoes to sink an Invincible-class carrier? A friggin' O. Hazard Perry-class took three Chinese fish before it finally sank. There is no systems damage on enemy ships - just % of the hull 'till it's dead ; CIWS and anti-missile systems on enemy ships are stupidly effective ; there is no dynamic campaign and no crew system.

An, of course, they added a playable Kilo-class sub for fucking Iran and forgot that Poland has one, too

Son of a...as soon as I get a crew that survives more than one patrol, I'll start writing some logs and shit...
