when the sonar guy reports a contact at such-and-such a heading.. does he mean the bearing in relation to north on the compass or bearing off the bow?

Off the bow.

Look at the outer compass ring gives you the true bearing, the inner compass ring for the bearing from you.

If you want to turn to that heading, just look for the bearing on the inner compass ring, and click on the outer compass ring at the same position. Easy

Mmmm, been playing that mission where theres 3 big ships and a load of little destroyers, managed to sink all 3 biggies and all but the last 2 destroyers, thing is they cant shoot at me as I used the AA guns to knock out there guns while on the surface but cant sink them as I have no torpedoes left, mite try ramming them and seeing if my hulls stronger than theres

Yeah its wrong. U-Boats regularly dived to 200+ as per normal routine. I'm hoping this is fixed in the patch.

Oooooh, do u get a kewl implossion on the external view or are we not that technical?
I thought I was gonna do it the otherday when I crash dived n started taking damage, then I realised I was actually hitting the bottom

[Tumble]

no the lights flicker, and the helmsmen start looking sh1t-scared.. then you start springing leaks and all the glass on the dials start popping very amusing..

lots of scary creaking and popping noises too...

Mite have to try that later then

I was quite disappointed when I got rammed by a warship, only to instantly cut to a "you are dead" kind of screen.

Would have been good to see some sort of animation showing the breaking up of, or implosion if submerged too deep, of the u-boat!

Nah don't bother Trig - you get a burst pipe in the control room as your only warning, then you cut to the end page saying you were killed - nothing worth tyrying it out to see.
