The main problem is that UBI dev. team always calculate their time of game release wrong.........they say in "march 2010" and what now "oops out of time, no time for IX, II and XXI type submarine, oops no time for finishizing campaign"
That's one heck of an arrogant and presumptive statement to make. Like McBeck, I'd like to know what your sources were for this stance of yours that SH5's limited campaign and focus on the Type VII was due to the devs running out of time. As if anyone has time to program two years of dynamic campaign and the full interiors and coding of several subs in two months.

In another thread I used Falcon 4.0 Allied Force as an analogy - you can only fly various F-16 variations, but these variations come with fully functional cockpits, where practically every single button, dial, switch and screen works as in reality (at least in the layman's eyes). Do you consider the limitation to one fighter in this game, too, the result of a restricted time schedule? "Oh, bugger, out of time, and here we were planning to give you every aircraft in the NATO arsenal".

Only thing that worries me still is the fully realistic control of the sub which was very bad till now.....i mean on fully realistic options in sh4 and sh3 there was still enough to press one button to dive the sub...(what about opening main wents, stabilizing balast tanks on port and satrboard, what about dive planes control options....nothing, everything was fully automatic)
Oh god... you do realize that the reason they restricted themselves to one sub was to give that one sub an unparalelled level of detail?

Same with the campaigns... you called the '39-42 period boring, well, now that the devs are limited only to this period it'll receive more detail - more events, more challenges, more dynamics and scripted events, more overall fun. You can either have many, unrealistic subs, or you can have one or two highly detailed subs. You cannot have both. Same with campaigns.
