Well IMHO the missing years and lack of Boat types is really quite forgivable.
It was only expected because of what was present in SH3, but we have to apprieciate that they are quite deiffernt games. The SH5 campaign is far more detailed that SH3 so it takes longer to script, the U-boat models plus full interior is also far more detailed than SH3, so again it takes much longer to model and implement.
Sometimes less is more.

The DRM is really the main problem here.
I will still buy the game and try to live with it (call me a scab if you want), but I have no argument with those who will not, I dont view those with no (or weak) internet connection as 'whiners' they have every right to be angry.

The the part that upsets me most about the DRM? It will likely probably be cracked soon enought anyway, in which case the pirates will be mearly 'delayed' while legit customers will suffer or go without and the Publisher loses out on substancial sales from both potential customers AND pirates alike.
Look what happened to Spore (and that was over an install limit)

I would assume that Ubi would need to bail on the DRM as soon as is it cracked by pirates, failing to do so would be suicide.
