Default We shouldnt just be complacent...

Ive been playing SH5 heavily modded lately and have enjoying the game. But really... Its just ridiculous to have a Uboat game with all the essentials and musts completely left out. And it seems the community is just fine with that. We SHOULDNT be... I still want to say again that i DO enjoy SH5. It has the POTENTIAL to be a good game, but **** guys it shouldnt need POTIENTIAL....

I started thinking lately and its bothering me now, so im just venting...

Im not going to go over what has already been said, cuzz we all know what the game is lacking. I will mention some things that NEED to be in a subsim game..

Obviously wolfpacks... no... I just cannot believe we can play a German WWII uboat game without wolfpacks.. How did this slip past UBI...


More interactive BdU. From 1940-1943 it would just be so.. SO AMAZING if i leave for my patrol area (gridded square) and suddenly have a radio report from BdU OR another uboat reporting a convoi.. B-Dienst could report of a slow konvoi (SC-###) from Halifax to (insert British Port here) and we could plot intercepts.
Our boat could be sailing to our grid square and BdU could give us a report of a wolfpack forming to attack and that we need to join in! GOD this would fulfill my wildest dreams! I have completed all the things i want to in LIFE, BUT NOT THIS! (kidding)
There could be orders to shadow a konvoi until more uboats arrive.. Then as you sit there you see ships throw up fireballs and u know the battle has begun...
Refueling at sea, actually watching the process (and ability for TC) and being on edge about air raids...

There is just so SO much that NEEDS to be added to a WWII Uboat sim, how can only a FEW of these features be in SH5...

How about playing the lesser known operations?

U-Tankers for one. U-Flaks, Milk Cows.. Mine Layers.. (all could be special missions or you could eeven make careers out of them from 1941-1944)

Special Requests for experienced Captians (different and upgraded boats, NOT a stupid renown system)... Special assignments given to succesful uboat captians (inserting commandoes, channel dashes, support operations, port raiding, bombing of oil fields in America/Carribean)

There is only so much a modder can do, but it shouldnt have to be so heavily reliant on modders. It should be a well polished and great game that could be made AMAZING
