These RPG Elements are actualy very nice, like you can have +2 knots for some minutes. I think its much better than the medal system used in SH 4

I dont like all the bugs....especialy the one that are still in from SH3 & 4.

Yes, these bugs arent nice but can be easily ignored.

I dont like the sound of the easy AI.... sounds too Arcadish.

The AI gets alot more difficult after the first months/first year

I dont like the planes that just ignore you..... and planes shouldnt be flying at.

They dont ignore you, they will report your position. The reason they dont attack its because they arent armed . Look in the museum, its the unarmed Hurricane scout type which you meet mainly in the first months
I answered some of your points

Its allright. I am just a bit angry that so many people are saying nonsense about SH 5. 90% of all bad stuff isnt even in the game, like the points mentioned above. Yes the game has its flaws and yes its buggy but its hellish fun too

All features from Uboat missions SH 4 are also included in SH 5, you can order planes/bombers to scout/attack other ships. And i love(!) attacking enemy fleets which are fighting german ships. Could just watch the gunfight all day with my periskope

Also, there are named ships in the game, like the hood, if you sink any of them than the wohle campaign changes.

I think SH5's main problem is exactlty the same as PT-Boats main problem.... during the first mission, a learning mission some controls are locked out preventing you acceesing them so that you can focus on key tasks. Unfortunately both Akella and Ubisoft failed to make that clear to players. Hence a there is lot of confusion about bugs.

yes, that is exactly the problem. Cant believe that most people that are complaining are just blind lemmings that repeat the bad stuff even when it not true. Best example is the official german forum. Its just crazy there, everyone is complaining and b*tching around about stuff that isnt even true

And if it's that bad for the hardcore subsimmers who have a rough idea of what to do, imagine what it's like for a newbie, that coupled with the terribly short and uniformative manual (and the Americans/Canadians only get a PDF one, who reads those?) may be enough on it's own to sink the game, which would be very sad indeed.

Oh yes, the manual is like a new april joke...like you say to a guy: "Build me a house, here is the manual". The guy looks in the manual, it has just one page with one sentence on it:

"Good luck"
