1) I have no problems with 1943 ending... 44/45 Criegsmarine Atlantic effort was "pointless" survival game - with no influence on Allied control of Atlantic...
In fact 44/45 Kriegsmarine was just
another problem (one more headache) to Reich... where to hide it and how to protect it from B-24, Mosquitos, P-47,...
By mid 1944 Kriegsmarine could not not defend itself, let alone Reich...
(Even when playing original Il-2 Sturmovik, as our example of great sim, my Luftwaffe campaign faded in 1943...)
2) Haveing only VIIc is just normal thing: with fully detailed "live" interior - it would be
out of reality to expect the same things for TypeIX... it would take another 12 months - to create and polish that kind of project (even more complicated)
Just my opinion...
3)
BAD thing would be -
no dynamic shadows ??? I would kindly ask this klub not to use term "eyecandy" till we see that feature...
4) Windy sea and storm - it is out of question... it is just not displayed, I guess, because it remained at SH4 level (no progress to display)
It would be harakiri of Ubisoft to release only calm weather, marketing suicide...
