I take it you've never played it with any of the supermods? Each and every one of them makes it a whole new game. Every single one of the problems you complain about was fixed at least three years ago. So instead of ranting about how bad the stock game is why don't you load up TMO or RFB (or OM if u-boats are your preference)? But don't come crying here about problems that are already long since taken care of.
