Without going into great detail , bottom line just now SH5 doesn't give that same feel even after patch and these great mods. Why ? To me with these "mission set tonnage" in a set time frame its - dash to patrol area sink what you can and Dash back to base to Reload and Dash back to the patrol area. That alone kills any feel of WWII uboat war, the Happy Times sink 10 ships with War supply - I thought all ships had War Supplies - or 200,000 tns.
It feels an arcade shooter and I don't mean game settings I mean the dashing to patrol area and back to base time and time again to meet the tonnage and the time frame.
I want the SH3 Campaign style , get a Grid to partol and there and back when you want and sink anything there and back and it counts.
I take it there are mod groups working on a Campaign for SH5.

Yes offcourse you could ignore the campaign objectives . But personally i allways feel the need to do them anyway because its the only thing that gives any sense to the campaign. If i ignore the objectives i feel as ifboatthough i,m ignoring the war and playing rogue u-boat.
I was kind of hoping sh-5 made me feel as i,m nolonger fighting the u-boat war on my own , in fact it does an even worst job ob this then sh-3/4. I feel completly alone in the campaign and i never ever seen a friendly u-boat that helps the wat effort (exept from one chance incounter in the med) Dont get me wrong , in many ways sh-5 is superieur but in many ways it feel much more sterile then sh-3 and sh-4. Apart from the u-boat pens there is no life whatsosever in the harbours. Contact with BDU is the most minimal of all the silent hunter series. I dont even get a "keep up the great work" when i send in a contact report. In the campaing in total germany i had to sneak into port more then 10 times to complete myobjectives in time. i mean comeon where is the realism? Also the fact that there is now a lack of updates for the u-boat because of the campaign ending in 1943 and you can nolonger give a wide variety of medals and upgrade the whole crew (no only at sea to a limited crew and medals are limted to 1 medal per crew)when your back in port simply takes awat the immersion when in port. I miss the fact that i cannot replace my crew for better onces or simpley because i had some fatal casualty,s. I,m pretty confident that sh-5 will be what is should be after a year or 2 thanks to the community. But its such a shame the UBI has stripped sh-5 of so much features that made sh-3 and sh-4 such a succes. I still wonder why succes formula,s are binned in the case of sh-5.
