I fully understand your dilema. I thought long and hard about it also, but it seems to me that the Publisher (not the Devs) made a business decision to move away from a sim to an arcade game that requires a permanent online connection.

Once they did that, I made a business decision as a simmer not to reward them for their decision.

I will wait at least six months....probably longer....to see what state this game is in at the end of the year. If our excellent modders have managed to recreate the sim feel while keeping the good things about Silent Hunter 5, then I'll happily buy it.
