To be honest SH5 is a great game and all even with the DRM. However I have always preferred the fleet boats over the uboats. They were bigger and after mid-war they looked better than the uboats IMHO. SH4 is the subsim I play the most, but like I said, SH5 is a fun platform. I think SH5 would have faired better if it had been a Pacific campaign genre and not had DRM.

DRM Yes, Pacific campaign not necessarily! The Atlantic U-boat war is probably the most popular in sub simulation history....sales don't lie and allot of players gave grief of SHIV until the Atlantic addition.

I think the DRM and the dumbing down of the controll system and Arcadishness graphics did SHV in. Ubisoft never learns and took a step backwards with this one. Eye candy is great if its realistic.

SHIV was the same way to some extent with the unrealistic eye candy. Thank god for modders!

As for me Its SHIV and SHIII!

I got SHV but I haven't played it in a long time. my internet connection is constant but sometimes it likes to not work, as much as I enjoy SHV, my computer can barely run it and with the internet the way it is, I will wait until the game is DRM-less and I have a PC that can handle it better.

That being said, I am anxiously awaiting anything put out by the guys who did Battle For The Baltic.

I played SHV 3 times and uninstalled it. I have lost count of the number of times I have played SH4.

SH4 just keeps calling me back. What a great game...
