+Great graphic
+Pretty nice walking around in the sub, chatting with crew. I also like the leadership value. I feel more integrated in a task and my contribution is more vital then in previous game.
+You get the sense how it must have been living on a german submarine.
That is pretty much it...
-I can´t tell you how much i miss well, for starters, Type IIA/IID, IX/IXB/IXC. Which moron came up with the idea: "Well, given that VII were the most used type in the war, let´s skip the others". Smells "lets-hurry-up-the-release" then anything. And then i haven´t even mentioned all the bugs.
Given that pretty much every other avaible Uboat-type is missing results that i don´t feel part in the bigger perspective that is the Battle of Atlantic.
-Tons of pointing, new key settings, menu settings and klicking, add to that the non-describing that is the so called "manual" (which in fact is a pamphlet), not good.
-The 1939 to 1943-fanatism from Ubisoft. Can anyone tell these guys that the war ended in 1945? Just because Kriegsmarine theoretically and practical lost the war and control of the oceans in, let´s say -43, doesn´t mean their war ended and everyone packed up and traveled home. Two more years of fighting and hoping is much when you like a game.
-I miss the freedom that was SH3 (and more so with GWX).
-Bugs high and low. You think that SH3, with all its fair share of trouble, was an "unfortunate in the business", but yet SH5 some years later, is EVEN WORSE. Unforgivable.
But, i see the potential, and the next couple of years, maybe it´s full potential will shine. Thanks to dedicated gamers.
