rascal101, I guess now you might be a bit harsh. Though I am also a hardcore realism fan over anything else (graphics lala included), I think SHV per se doesn't seem to bad. The only deal breaker presently for most people appears to be the DRM, though I'd bet many will after a while nonetheless give in and buy it. However, I think it is likely that this will leave a big dent in UBI's sales, not only SHV.
Sure, whether it will kick SHIII+GWX from its throne, or whether it will get a little to childish feel with the new interface and the RPG elements, that will have to be seen. I won't make a judgement before I try it -- possible in a few years as budget title without DRM (and by then hopefully again with GWX, another good reason to wait!). The campaign and the enhance AI including wolf packs may be a little sweetner.

I would like an announcement that an addon with all the Types II, IX, XXI and XXIII (even with generic interiors) as well as a SHIII kind of full war campaign with all the associated stuff will follow. The war career doesn't need to influence the war, nor account for all merchant ships sunk, although it would be nice if just tonnage and warships sunk could make a little effect (even if it's just a newspaper article...).

The only thing I find sad these days is that the real loosers of the DRM issue are the development studios, not UBI. But maybe some nice publisher will buy/contract the SH studio once UBI is "economical history"...
