I'm returning this product as defective to the store (amazon), because it has a major problem - you can't play it. good bye Silent Hunter 5, enough

Title: Silent Hunter: Battle of the Atlantic
Quantity: 1
Sold by: Amazon.com, LLC
Condition: new
Reason: Defective/Does not work properly
Return Details: requires online connection - however Ubisoft servers are offline so it's unplayable; defective DRM design, not working at all
Action Requested: Refund

Some say Amazon will not refund. I believe they will. They send you a darn return/refund slip with the games name on it! Anyway, I agree here in defect by definition. You have a connection. It is good. It is constant. What you are connecting to is not good or consistent. It is therefore defective piece of the product. I have to agree with this viewpoint. However, I would give it another week when some things are sorted at UBI end. But that is just me and what I would do.

yes I chilled out a bit since the last night/day. SH5 is working OK right now. I have passion for subsims, however limited patience as well if things go wrong.... I have the return slip printed out though. If I'll go ahead and send it back, I believe Amazon will refund, I'm good customer, spending a fortune every month there for everyting from books to cameras. They'd be fools to make me pissed by not refunding. I think they're smart enough to honor "customer is always right" in this case. Even with opened software. But, so far I'm still playing, just got a 7000-ton tanker at nearly 1800meters/yards, got her with single torpedo and 2 dozens of HE shells. Addictive game, must be modded though. Oh well...I'm giving it some more time :)

Speaking of those tanker ships....

I got one that wont sink. I have no torps left, no deck gun ammo left. Any ideas to get it to sink?

Ive tried humping it, and almost got stuck on the deck of it, its too big and my ship too light to push it under.... I tried playing Heavy Manual Torpedo with it, but again...its too damn hard to steer because its so big, so i end up just barely missing my targets......

Im considering pushing it all the way back to germany and trading it in for a prize.

That's good, vonce1, don't abandon the ship. Waiting good times.

Im willing to bet my house that you wont get a refund based on DRM - Should have just done what 60% of subsimmers on this forum allegedly did and not buy the game.

Although i bet half that number are hypocrites and due to their on greed went out and bought the game anyway.

You brought it on yourself for not listening to the community.

How do's CROW taste ?:har:

BestBuy and Gamestop have a no questions asked return policy on SH5.

The last big torpedo ready sir

Launch.

Submarine on the water.

Submarine impact!

It doesnt work, that ship is just way too heavy.

You can point it at other ships and try to ram them though. But I havent been sucessful with that, the collision system for the AI is too crafty, they get super agile and move out of the way defying physics :nope:

I call it manual heavy torpedos, they move much too damn slow though.

Three torpedoes set to run 7.5 meters deep... Magnetic influence fuse. One in the middle, two in the stern portion of the ship. They all sink this way (sometimes it takes few minutes).
