If I use AI improvement mods, I found The Elite Campaign & Feared Hunters combo to be the best, but.. I wanted to finish the game without any AI improvement mod just to see what is all about. So I saw no improvement in the AI behavior even if the Black May briefing is about the allied forces using advanced technology and convoy escorts become fierce sub hunters. I was pretty convinced that the last campaign will be finally a good one, full with events, hardcore battles etc.

So I was expecting some heavy battles, sticky DD's, but was no difference compared to the first campaign in '39. The whole campaign is only about monthly tonnage, nothing more. The AI is aggressive, but soon as I dive under 80m, I become invisible even if I use max speed. More than that, I got used to not bother with diving, I just sail at scope depth parallel to a merchant and take my time to select targets and fire all my load. If any escort get to close, I just pass under the merchant and continue my carnage from his other side. I remember that in SH3 this was not possible because if you were spotted, the merchant ships crew start to shot with their guns at your scope, so you had to dive.

And the most disappointing thing was that ugly bug that you can see in the screen shot. Badly needing a resupply and all I'm getting from the radio man is a Bdu message that I can't read.. is very disturbing. I finished SH5 with a ugly bug and very disappointed. I'm even hopeless that this game will ever get fixed, now I try to start over with 100%realism, but that's impossible as the stadimeter is still bugged and the map tools too. And installing millions of mods that will screw with my UI just to get the very basic commands to work, is not an option for me.

I'm very angry and full with hate against Ubi, I will never again buy any Ubi product and I will advice all my friends not to do so. They are a bunch of amateurs who trick people to buy a bugged and unfinished product at the price of a good one. The rumor that this was the last SH developed by Ubi is actually good news. For me, Ubisoft is a signature or thief's, amateurs and worst PR &support in the world. F'em.
