So, lads (and lasses if any), what does SH5 offer me compared to my lovely SH3+GWX that doesn't need a Cray supercomputer to run?

There, I said it.

Personally I'm rather excited by the dynamic campaign. It looks promising.
Also even if the AI is the same as SH4 that'd still be a big improvement on the AI in SH3/GWX.
And there's the first person perspective.
And the graphics look nice (compared to SH3/GWX).

In fact, it will probably offer you less than SH3/GWX. No, it will surely offer you less. If I need eye candy graphics, I would play Crisis, I would not choose to play SH5 arcade style oriented game. Unfortunately, Silent Hunter series from the so-called "simulation" perspective is on its way down.
Ka-50 Black Shark is a simulation game, SH5 it isn't.

You`ll need a permanent internt connection. Dunno if you see that as a bonus, but it`s certtainly new to previous Silent hunter games. UBI says it will save you having to worry about your CD and they`ll even look after your saves for you. And don`t worry if their servers go down or your net breaks, it`s worth waiting hours for it to pop back up whenever they sort it out. You can wait to play your singleplayer game, can`t you?

SH5 offers You better graphics? Maybe but not greatests, and with the elements of the arcade. Now we have all U-Boat interior. Yes but this is "unfinished model". Without about 50% of details.

Only type VII U-Boat is included in this game. Ok. Why not, but game end is in 1943. By the way. I think that the all 1943 year is included, and game end is not in the december 1942 .

Shortcuts in the periscope view are to small. Can I make them bigger? I didn't noticed to many food in the interior. Graphics of the interior is very simmilar to SH4. And this strange effect of the "gelatine" in the uderwater view, +

...DRM system, and online gameplay with external saves on UBI server.

Oh dear, unfinished? I'm thinking Ubi made the wrong decision to rush the release of both SH 4 and 5!

Rather have one complete and fully featured game but I guess the industry these days requires flashy games, quick release time and leaving the modders to do the rest of the good work! Not good.

This is the point.
Only money is important.

After 2005, 2006, all simulation games, war games etc. are to short and to flashy, and not realistic, without nice and realistic storyline. In MOH in these days is only 6 - 8 level max. In MOH Airborne for example, last two missions was to much unrealistic and stupid. Where is COD2, Shelshock nam67, SOCOM 3, MOH Frontline?

Where is the good historical mood and storyline?

DRM.

Seriously, though, the answer is nothing. GWX is a masterpiece that no retail WWII submarine simulator can match.

I'm personally still buying SH5, but if you're happy with GWX, more power to you - feel free to stick with III until 5 is modded as heavily.
