This is actually a "feature" of SH3 and 4, and sadly it looks like the same thing remains in 5 too. Waves are only drawn in a small area around the boat so that it looks ok in the unzoomed view, but the majority of the sea is indeed flat. This only really becomes apparent in view with magnification, such as a binocular view.

And that looks like a 9 inch nail bottom right that's been driven into DRM's coffin.... Sadly, perhaps only the first nail has been driven

OMG the game is complete faliere because of the benacular. Thats it what are we all going to do???

Just kidding here, seems that crapping on everything has became a routine. I hate this negativity, if i owned UBI, afrer reading this forum i would just see the game as a complete faliere and think that it is impossible to produce a subsim game that people are going to like.

Agreed. I am sure there are many Ubi executives who would be just as happy to scrap the SH series once and for all and concentrate on much more profitable games, like Assassin's Creed or Call of Duty.

Most companies bailed out of the simulation market a long time ago. Simulations are hard and expensive to design properly, the sales/profits are small and let's face it, wargamers complain at least 10x as much as any other group of customers.

I personally commend Ubisoft for continuing to support the simulation market with quality sims such as Silent Hunter, IL-2 and the upcoming Storm of War: Battle of Britain.

The problem with overly negative threads is that they drive away potential subsimmers. I almost did not buy SH4 because of all the negative comments here when it came out. I certainly will not make that mistake again.

Silent Hunter 5 will have flaws, that is guaranteed, but name me one simulation which is 100% realistic.

So, you're saying I'm going to need TWO mice to play this game?!?


Why is it that every time someone posts a screen shot of this unfinished version of the game, so many people start freaking out? I thought at first that it was because there was so little information coming out, that every little tidbit we got was gone over and analyzed and re-analyzed and over-analyzed.

But there's been more information coming out lately, and that idea doesn't hold. New theory: Is it just a general bad feeling people have about it, that they jump on any little thing they can find, and don't bother to pay attention to the whole picture?

Looks like you got me wrong on that..

My point was: since it has two mouse pointers, it's kinda obvious that someone used photoshop.

I hear you and agree about appreciating that they have helped continue series that I like but thankfully you're wrong about Storm of War. Maddox and company have seen the light and left Ubisoft after the IL-2 series and are publishing it themselves in most markets the last I heard. I'm really looking forward to that one and would have to pass, on principle once again, if they were an Ubisoft product due to you know what... (don't want to offend those that are tired of hearing about it! )

I wonder if the Collectors edition comes with a xbox Cause the game is convincing me each time i see a new picture its a console whore. The binoculars in the left top corner is so stupid just another that completely kills the realism for me - unless im hoping Neal just added it there for his preview.

[KING111]

Let hope it is photoshop????????????????????
i will just wait and see what you all say
in the weeks after you have given out your $49
for it
i will give it 6 months after the mods have had a go
at it and the DRM is gone i might just buy it
