First impressions...two years too late

Bravo!

That really is an excellent review. This is the reason I didn't play this game for 2 years waiting for the amazing modders at subsim to try and salvage a game. And let me tell you... I admire your patience with the stock version. I couldn't do it. That game was a prime example of released crap.
I am currently using 47 mods to make the game work. And it does work wonderfully. I like immersion, not all are needed for the game to work - many mods add new radio stations or make the graphics even better... But, it is incredible that you need tons of mods, hours and hours of modding effort to make the game playable.
Once you mod the game and see it transform in front of you, like I've seen during the last 4 days, since I've started building my mod soup... you'll fully appreciate the amazing guys here at subsim. And you'll feel righteously angry at those idiots who released a crappy skeleton of a game.
Talking about rants... well, it seems to be the new trend (or tendenz, as one German politician rants in his speech on my sub radio) among sim developers. Have you seen the damage they've done to Microsoft's Flight Simulator?
Play a little, get angry - then mod it until it works. Properly modded, it's probably the best Silent Hunter (I've only played SH3-5). Good hunting!
