You know, I have been playing Sh5 with only engine sound patches, and the first UBi patch and this is what I say to all you nay sayers.
STFU.
Aside from the all too easy Auto TDC, Lack of direction indication, and DRM from a stupid place (hell is too good for this dumb idea). I have found the sim to be VERY promising, and an obstanent deck gun crew that just get to happy doing their job.
There are some tweaks that the boat could use, and definitely a return of the best range at said speed, along with depth under keel.
But over all They got a lot of things right. The HULL CREAKS again. As you go deeper it changes to more ominous sounds. The interior is very well done, and once modders or UBI make the crew even more interactive than these baby steps presented here, this is gonna be a good sim.
Sh4 was unfinished and optimized bad. This sim is running quite well on my single core processor, even with the features on except for shadows.
The spray and explosion effects are too slow, but that is because of my single core, which will be replaced soon.
I have not had one ctd, unlike with sh4 the first few minutes I got one.
ONce DRM has gone away, and the modders can have their way with this stock model, we will have a very sweet sim that will exceed Sh3, and that is a bold statement.
