146. Loose and suspended objects.

A nice feature of SH3 were all the hanging hams and what-not which were hung above in the control-room, and which swayed gently with the roll and pitch of the boat, and which did so more vigorously when DC'd. It would be nice to see some of these performing the same "roll" (or falling?) in WP. Additionally, there might be loose objects such as a pile of tins, belongings from lockers, locker doors etc, which could spill about in rough seas or when DC'd, with attendant sound effects.

This would help create more of a local-earth vertical reference in the boat, as well as provide scope for more immersive experience of being in rough weather or subject to DC's. Personally I find the few "flashes", almost inaudible DC explosion sounds, and lack of camera-shake, to be particularly underwhelming when hit by nearby DC's. Adding pitching movement to the boat would also add to this. (as far as I'm aware our boats only roll)
