Welcome back to the pack,
As has already been said steer clear of SH5 if you prefer realism and immersion over eye candy,as SH5 appears to have too many shortcomings for me to want to buy it,not being able to operate in any other U-Boat other than the type VIIs is wrong (unless they are now scrapping that idea?),and the apparent role playing system for the captain and crew? seems odd to be honest

It also seems that they have somewhat 'dumbed down' the overall game removing a lot of the technical detail and difficulty that was so appreciated in SH3 (with GWX3 of course) leaving us with a more 'arcade' feel to the game and not an experience where you actually FEEL like you are taking part in history,that is VERY bad!
