I understand that there are mods which provide you with round dials etc

the point of the post is that there is something Silent Hunter 5 lacks

let me put it this way

playing silent hunter 5 is like being married to a beautiful wife

but she is dumb as a box of rocks and cant hold a conversation.

now... if all you wanted to do was screw (sink 50,000 tons per patrol) that would be ok

but there is something of substance that SH5 has been missing since day one... and i have yet to precisely put my finger on whatever it is that she lacks.

i think what players want is something believable, customizable, historically accurate, and that simulates the reality of the submariners situation

i think what game developers have gotten into the habit of giving those players is lots of fast paced blowing stuff up.
