I hope they fix the Scapa Flow mission before release. It's historically embarrassing.

So, are people here also seeing this early announcement of the final release as good news? But it’s only good news if you think the game is already perfect... Because for sure, in two weeks after leaving the Beta stage, the devs will not start to work more on it. . .

Currently, this game is made for casual players, with just a few options in the settings for those who want something less childish. But if you put aside the beautiful graphics and all the mini-games (like dressing the crew, diving in a suit on wrecks, researching technology at HQ, or scripted "missions"), you get something that an old, modded SH3 can challenge and surpass in some aspects.. One already mentioned, is the horrible UI of the Uboat game...
(Yes, the TDC is very well made in the Uboat game, but it’s not enough to make it a good simulator.)
Keep playing this game long enough, and you will notice all the little "bugs" (I say bugs, but mostly they are just barely finished features or annoyances due to misconceptions). You can easily overlook one of them, but there are so many that sooner or later they will finally make you give up.

in short, the only hope mow is in the modders. But even if making patches with Harmony/Reflection is easier than hacking an .exe, there are still things that will be too difficult and even impossible.

We are not going anywhere after leaving the Early Access.

Could you describe your specific annoyances with the UI?

I generally try to avoid absolutist statements such as the one I am about to write, but....................

The above may be the most divorced-from-the-truth observation I have ever seen in any forum.

U Boat is a masterpiece.
