My impresions of SH5 so far

[maillemaker]

Long time SH3 player here.

I love the graphics in the new game.

But I really feel like a fish out of water. I feel like a complete noob.

I've fired torpedoes at 2 targets now and missed.

It seems to me that the old 3:15 method of determining target speed no longer applies in SH5? Does anyone know what time interval gives speed in knots in SH5 when tracking a ship on the map?

How does one access the recognition manual?

I find that the explosions and fireballs on the ships seem to be a bit too fast in motion. They ought to be slower. I am running TDW FX Update if that matters.

I find the motion of the sub to be a bit too quick in the water, too, for that matter. I would think something so massive would move a bit slower in the water. I'm running the Historical Specifications 1.7 if that matters.

I'm really missing my old hot keys to jump from station to station in the boat.

And I haven't gotten the hang of all the events that knock me out of TC. Sometimes it drops to 1 for no apparent reason.
