Never say never! I first learned manual targeting with SH1, then SH3 really made it satisfying. You'll see that calculating and getting a good solution followed by a hit and a sinking, is what the game is all about. All it takes is some practice, you can do it.
Also don't forget, though the captain usually didn't figure out the solution, he did know how to if need be, so don't use that as an excuse eh!

On a relevant note, i will say that games today are pretty much all about graphics. devis released it as fast as possible, so theres an insane number of bugs and just plain problems with the game. But really its not very fair to people who dont have the latest and greatest graphics cards or computers. i have at MOST 15 FPS but usually 7 FPS in SH5, at lowest possible settings. SH4 in my opinion was like the best stock game ive ever played, and although i tried mods, i didnt need them too much. in SH4 the only problem i really had was that the sinking mechanics and the fact they could drive themselves like a BMW going from 0 to 80 in 5 seconds. but there were mods for that. unfortunately, they couldnt go together, which made me .

Anyway, SH5 was like an unfinished house. the realtors kept giving you wonderful and beautiful previews, but when you go to live inside, there isnt a wall separating you from your backyard. The house is still liveable-ish. but they were in such a rush that they forgot what people wanted. I like SH5 Mostly, but theres just an entire wall missing. Ubisoft also forgot to consider the people who didnt have high-end computers, and set the absolute lowest res to 1024x740 or w/e that res was. those people include me .
Unfortunately you're right. It's also why this "What there is to like about SH5" thread, only 3 pages long.
