2) DRM and modding.
The devs have stated this game is more open to mods than any previous SH. The chance of DRM will affect modding is so small its hard even to see it.
3) Game limited to 43.
The devs have clearly stated that the game will end in 43, but the period will have much more detail. I submit to you that if it takes the same time to complete a campaign in SH3 as in SH5, then I would prefer SH5 because of the better experience.
4) Only VII
Well first of all there are several subtypes. Personally I would have loved more types, but its TOO early to conclude what it means, because the VII will have much more detail than any previous SH we have seen.
5) Campaign.
The people attending the Subsim 2009 meeting can comment in this as well. The campaign will be much more dynamic than any previous versions. Your actions in an area will actully influence how the enemy operates - thats new. If you shadow a convoy, theres a chance other subs will join you - thats new.
SH2 - scripted
SH3 - Random
SH4 - Random/dynamic
Just my 2 cents. Let try and stick to the facts rather than speculating too much...lets look at the possibilties rather than the limits.

1) I'm not blaming the devs - great guys, that's for sure - but those making the financial decisions of what will make it and what won't, that is "the suits", yeah, I think it's okay to blame those.
2) It may be open to modding, but the DRM issue is still not speaking to the advantage of bringing in the usual modders. But it remains to be fact untill the game is out.
4) See below. Version is not the same as type. The II and IX are clearly missing.

Yeah, but not any versions of type II or type IX. Even though these boats clearly played a siginificant role in the early war. Hence the statement: ONE boat only.
