From the sounds of things, all SH5 is, is Das boot the video game. Yeah sure an fully rendered interior is fantastic, but i find that for most of my gameplay in this series as so far, 90% of the time is spent in the nav map and periscope or TBT/UZO, swapping between the two via hotkey. A fully rendered interior to my style of play is a joy short lived.
So you have more graphics, more roleplaying, and more das boot, but what you don't have is more simulation. Technical aspects that are missing that should be included, furthered, or refined. So gameplay wise, aside from the campaign that sounds like it wants to rewrite history, it seems like its going to be identical to SH3 and SH4. Couple that with the war "ending" in 43, and a total absence of my favorite uboat types , ( let alone my preferred theater and subs ), my verdict is:
Meh. Not interested.
If it at least had a type 9C, i'd probably sing a different tune.
