Hi all,

I have played the Silent Hunter series from the beginning. When SH5 came out I did NOT buy it nor have I tried or seen it since release. First reason was the DRM issues from UBISoft. I have refused to buy any of thier software since the inclusion of the required DRM and full internet access at all times.

Recently they have announced they are fully dropping that DRM system and so I am thinking about again buying UBISoft products if this is the case.

First, does SH5 still require this or has it been patched so that it can be played OFFLINE and without need of any connection?
Next, is the campaign played from the German point of view or can it be played from the allies point of view?
lastly, how does it fair with SH4? or SH3 for that matter?

Thanks for any insight....
