There lies the problem: SH3 HAVE BEEN released and from certain perspective was more finished then SH5 is right now. Then GWX came and made it complete WW2 experience.
What I am trying to say is that the limitations of SH5 (1936-1943, only Type VII) are huge leap back regardless how well the sub is simulated...
In gaming industry companies tend to ADD as much more content to the sequel as possible to make players (customers) feel like they are ADVANCING the franchise.
The main why some people judge this release so harshly is that they were kept in the dark until we are almost month before the release. Has it been stated since the beginning that upcoming SH5 will be Type VII simulator only, limited to the portion of the war, people would probably not be disappointed.
What makes me annoyed is the fact that SH5 is not really "continuance" of the franchise and (because of its limitations) should be released under different name. Sorry devs, but SH5 title IS misleading. Had you announced that the "line" of Silent Hunter franchise was abandoned and the game was being released as (for example): Type VII: Atlantic War 1939-1943 the overall acceptance of the game might be much more positive.
