The map can be switched off altogether, or map contact updates can be turned off. Having anything on the map other than a mark and some writing, and then only for one ship at a time, is unrealistic; so SH5 is not dumbed down from any previous sim in that department.

What cracks me up are the bugs that are in SH5 that are the same as sH4, that were the same as SH3 (sub on a rail anyone).
SH3 did not have subs on rails. That was an SH4 original.
