Default I've tried and tried...but I'll just have to wait some more...

I honestly hate the way SH5 has been done. Its just that simple.

My game is up to date with patches and quite honestly I find more things I do not like about the game then like. I have been playing completely unmodded mind you and while I did enjoy SH4 vanilla, mods make the game. Sadly I think I will need mods to have any chance of enjoying this one.

ID book? where has you gone?

torps: with and without TDC they seem to really solely upon the direction of my periscope at the time of firing regardless of locked target or not.

watch stations? Yeah the FPS aspect is nice and cool and all, but gets really irritating after the first half hour.

return to plotted course? hello? Am I missing a button somewhere. I can alter course to view heading, but not order a return to course.

depth: A fathometer would be nice when sneaking like a bastage into Scapa Flow. Literally ran all over the ship looking for one and talked to everyone.

AA: While I can order men to man the gun. Fire at will?

torp spread: salvo is nice as a feature, but not being able to adust the spread between shots can really waste your torps.

sinking.... I'm simply not seeing ships sink from taking water on. Hell, do they even take on water over time? Fires are pretty, but dont seem to do damage over time.

They seriously should have added a row along the top of all your crew and the ability to click any special abilities or orders they would give.


periscopes: when issuing the order to go to periscope depth, why does the observation scope raise? Generally I am sitting at the attack scope with it raised when I give the order. Also, they need a toggle to lower them with one click instead of holding down the del/pgdn buttons.

I have not had to deal with damage control yet, but I do know where to find the info about what IS damaged. Just no idea how issuing repair orders works yet.

The game fights against you more than makes it enjoyable in its current form I think. The DRM insanity is only insult to injury at that point.
