Well to me, this is good news, only evolution, a real u-boat commander had to walk in his boat and interact with his crew.

Personally, I don't necessarily translate the first person view as a clear intention to dumb down the series.

About the famous health bars that everyone is talking about, well to me it's not worse than the update map option...

There's a difference between being optimistic and making hopes.

Did Dan met & conversed with some members of the modding community??

Did he posted here nearly 750 post (so he must have been reading here a lot) ??

Did Subsim was the only place on the web that was announcing SH5 nearly a year before it's official announcement ??

So to me, UBI had showed a certain will to maintain a link with this community. So there a reasons for being optimistic.

But there are also a lot of reasons for not making any expectations (particularly about whether or not it will be in a finished state).
