I know that this game takes alot of patence . You have to use your skills that are learned from kriegsmarine school .. Depending on your level of play . you have to plot courses from a distant place and than intercept a convoy . if you are using real nav , You have to keep checking your course so that you dont run aground when you are close to land . You have to get the figures for a accurate TDC soulution .. you have to conserve fuel , you have to make desicisns when to disengauge from attacking a convoy or find your self getting waserbomben to death
For a hardcore subsimmer -- the game gives you a options to manage things and make desicions to survive SH5 only makes sense when it is modded . otherwise is becomes a arcade type of sim and after awile you will get bored and stop playing . I dont think that there is no other way to play the game unless you are at a 100% and modded .. In every aspect of life , The things that become familar , become boring !
There enough of support here with other fellow subsimmers to keep your knowlege growning and challaenging .. I have seen vidoes of this game with the plotted line in front of you and and there is never a situation were the boat deviates from its course , Unless you are using a real nav situation , When pressing in for an attack , Postion is a good factor to know or ply were your intercept point is when engaging enemy ships . Even when You have used all of your learned skills , A torpedo can miss and that makes you re-consider and re-caculate .
I cannot say at this point that the game is or will become dry for me . there are alot situations and sceanarios to master so that you could get results like this .......
Good Luck and happy hunting !!
