Like they didn't know from their beta testers that the AI sucked (Kiel) canal water, for example? Like no one else plotted a course in the mission assignment map, only to find it gone when starting the actual mission?

BUT, of course, Ubi should be forgiven for EVERYTHING ! After all, the NEW definition of Subsim modders is, "Those who not only enhance the gameplaying experience, but (...new part coming up...) make an unplayable, unenjoyable prematurely-released game acceptable - at NO COST to Ubi - but you, the buyer, are STILL expected to pay Ubi for the privilege!"
Of course Ubi knew about the bugs but my guess is that Ubisoft wanted that game out in March because Ubis fiscal year for 2009 ends March 2010. A later release would have been bad for their balance sheet. Today shareholder value is more important for Ubi than bugfree games. Just check the value of their shares which dropped big time in the last 12 months:

Either way I am happy to hear they release a new patch. Perhaps I will buy it then.
