I've intentionally stayed away from SHO. The last time I enjoyed a game online was more than ten years ago, playing Silent Hunter II and Destroyer Command. With those you got the experience of both attacking convoys being defended by human players and defending those convoys against human-driven u-boats. The game was quirky and realistic in the way it felt.

And with SH5 having been rushed out and unfinished, and SHO, in the Fremium MMO it is, I feel that Ubisoft has abandoned Silent Hunter. Which is a shame, considering that it was one of Ubisoft's top paying installments.

Was it really? I've heard that it was one of the lowest, even SH3. By simulation standards the games have sold well, but overall I don't think the Silent Hunter series is even in the top 100.

I guess I just assumed that it was pretty high, considering that it was one of the best simulation games out there. My bad.

Of course it's a terrible sub game it has no subs. I think that naval assault is a far worse game than SHO in my opinion.
