Ship Id Book

I'd love for a little ship ID book to pop up when IDing ships. Remember the one in Silent Service II? That was fun as hell, having to ID the ship. It would be very cool to implement this in multiplayer. Say for instance the LFN is at war with the Kaiser, but not with the US. LFN sub drivers would have to make sure that the merchie or escort it was targetting wasn't a US ship, or get demerits on his record if he sunk the wrong one.

You will remember my warship. RNE CL HMS CHESTER, commanding officer Commodore 2nd Class David Abramczyk.

Fondly, as I reminisce how quickly you went under to my clanky old S boat out of Manila

Maybe you'll capsize? hehe:

More likely it is I who will have fond memories, as I drop a 6-incher on your bonce. angel2:

A menu vehicle gallery akin to the one in IL-2 Sturmovik wouldn't be a bad thing. Beats having to go into instant action to look at stats.

An ID book is a damn good idea I would love to see a 3D view or technical drawing of each ship and its stats It would be better if your trying to get a look at a Battleship because in battle you would probaly get blown away before you could get a good look at it

I'd imagine in battle you're pretty sure that the bad guys are over there and they're the ones shooting at you.

"Captain, Captain the fires are out fo control one more hit like that and we are done for!" Cried the Coxwain over the sound of shells flying over head.

"Now hold on Sonney" Said Captain Smith as he looked over his spectacles at his little black ID book. "I belive that one there is a battle ship."
