Mostly enjoying the game...
 

I just got the game a few days ago, and while a number of things are really frustrating (the NEED to install mods to make the game playable, some poor UI choices by the devs, unfixed bugs that exist in previous versions of the game), I'm... trying to enjoy it? I haven't played a sub sim since 688, and Hunt for the Red October when they were new (if that tells you anything... I *think* I also played SH1 and 2), so I'm not left feeling in a lurch due to preconceptions from the prior SH* games. Ubi has failed on a number of levels (notably DRM), however it's not all bad, and I think I will continue giving it a go for a while yet... hopefully some of these mods will lessen some of the other annoyances.

Thanks to all the modders for your hard work; as lead dev. on a rather large mod team, I know too well how often people complain but how little thanks you get - you guys have made this game playable for me!
