What we have is the exact same engine as SH3 and SH4. Looking through the code establish this fact. There are tons of references to SH3 and SH4.

A couple of things comes to mind with this game. First of all is that they said beforehand that it would be way more moddable than ever and the "finished" released product clearly says they relied on it.
I could easily be considered a fanboy of Silent hunter by friends, and i really want to love it. But in all fairness, this game is by far the most incomplete and buggy game i've ever seen released to the public to buy.
The moral and level up system is a total mess. And this is one of the new major game features with SH5.
Don't give me the not needed or i don't like it anyways BS. The point is that it's what it's ment to be by the dev team. They wanted to do something new and different with the RPG system. And it would be kinda cool if it worked properly.
Important features are missing and left out. A load of commands left out. If you want it you have to rely on modders or learn to mod yourself. This is just not tolerable and i'm quite astonished that most of the gamers here just seem to accept it and thanks the modders. Are we really at the point where this should be accepted?
Is it we, the gamers, that should finish a game?
I think not!

Second issue is Ubisofts will to spit more money into projects after release. We can agree that Ubisoft isn't exactly well known to support games after release...well, if it doesn't sell millions that is. But even then they are cheap. The first Assassins creed got one patch i believe...ONE!
God knows how well it sold.
I have no doubts that the dev team wants to support the game but let's be honest here. Do you think Ubisoft spits more money into SH5?
personally i think no... there might be a second patch but i believe they will put the money into new projects. There are rumours already that Ubisoft Romania is already working on another project.
If we are lucky we will see a second patch but i don't count on it.
I challenge Ubisoft to surprise me.

Great post!
