Not quite sure whats going on over there at UBI.
While I'm impressed with some of the additions they have made to the 'sim' there are some blaring shortcommings to SH5.
Lets get over all this talk about 'well, we havn't played it'. Well, played or not.. who is the genious over there that decided the war for the U-Boats ends in 1943? And.... errr, why does he still have a job? And who agreed to this?
SH3 with some mod enhancements became quite a fantastic experience. A FULL experience. Half the enjoyment was dealing with new Allied technology that, as time progressed, so did the challenge. Surviving in the later years was difficult at best, but those encounters that had you on the edge of your seat for 5-18 hours resulting in survival and a return to port with a smashed up boat were exhilerating.
So we have half a war.
The focus on just the type VII (personally all I use, but still) is another blatant brain fart. We are looking for a U-Boat Sim, played in a Simulated war... I'm sure the entire community can vouch for that. Omitting the Type IX, at the very least is irresponsible, never mind all the other sub types.
Like really.... who comes up with these ideas?
This had so much premise, until they turned it into Diet Silent Hunter V - Half the War, even less Submarines.
Dissapointed.
