Great work, I like how much attention you paid to the rigging. Now since I can never leave modelers alone ..
will there be lots of great particle effects? Burning/leaking oil would look nice and dramatic; I like simulators that have different types of fire/smoke depending on what you hit. Also survivors in rafts/boats? Maybe with a small bonus for capturing enemies with intelligence, like in U-Boat?
And even better, I would LOVE to have you able to blow off a ship's bow/stern with the other half still floating - this happened to several torpedoed WWII tankers, like the "Esso Nashville"..

The front half of "Esso Nashville" ended up on the bottom of the sea and is popular with scuba divers from North/South Carolina to this day...the back half survived the war and sailed for many years!
