Well i my impression is that the devs are talking about relativly minor alterations to the Battle of the Atlantic- not a total re-write of WW2 history.
You got to apprieciate that some events during of the Battle of atlantic were down to chance.
In SH3, you could potentially 'save the Bismark' but game thinks nothing of it. Were you to do that in SH5, maybe the Bismark would be used in another battle?
IMO Its no so far fetched that one U-boat can make a difference in this way, it potentially can if its in the right place at the right time.
WW2 has already played out and history is cast in stone, now how can you play that out in a sandbox game like silent hunter 5? 100% historical accucuracy is not really compatible with 'computer game' format in this way.
Players did unhistorical things in SH3, like raiding Ports, saving the bismark sinking ships that never got sunk in real life etc.
The only difference it that SH5 acknowledges these acts, where SH3 totally ignored them.
Yet SH3 is somehow deemed superior for it??
So long as we are not led to feel as though the Battle is being won by the Axis by 1943... I really dont see the problem.
