SH5 (campaign) is so boring

Ok...well this is where I cannot agree with you. The U-boat war was exactly like what you describe there at the end. Months of tedium punctuated with moments of terror. It is the rarity that should make those moments so special to the subsimmer.

I cannot defend wanting to turn this into more of a scripted game, as you describe in the second half of your post. Making things more 'exciting' is not what is needed. What you are describing sounds more like the hollywood travesty that is "U-571" as opposed to the classic "Das Boot".
