Perhaps for a few, but when I say I'm not buying something, I'm not buying it. It's really quite simple.

I respect your choice...I don't buy a lot of things as well.

Give it a few months and let the modders work their magic, this sim will look a lot different by then and hopefully just get better and better as SH3 did.

No one who has been following the discussions here or who owns SH3 and or SH4 can say they were surprised by SH5. It is what we expected, SH3 with better graphics, a bit more depth to the underlying engine and perhaps better moddability.

yes, we can all sit around, mope that Ubi should have done it differently this time and decry this game as a hopeless mess, but this is the exact same discussion we had when SH2 came out in 2001, when SH3 came out in 2005 and when SH4 came out in 2007 and with the same result, namely that if the real subsimmers want a real U-boat simulation, they have to roll up their sleeves and get to work on SH5 to build one.

Which is a flaw in itself. That we are seeing mistakes again that where already made with SH3+4. And that the modders have to create many aspects of the game with every new entitlement of the series. Like believable sub physics. The same things over an over again.

I give you that SH5 has more potential for modding than the previous games. That it wouldn't be a hardcore simulation like it will be turned into by mods is no surprise.
I just don't like the attitude of shifting the game more towards a submarine toolkit rather than a convincing game from the start.

Now we're getting a bit polemical, aren't we ? When have I ever done that ?

without any alternatives this is the only WWII sub sim which has been developed in the recent years.

Obviously you missed the last 2 titles of Silent Hunter that were made in recent years and with their respective mods thanks to the mod community blow this garbage out of the water entirely.

I thought I was going to see a thread regarding the good things about sh5, but I see it went nowhere fast.

The goods things about SH5 is that a lot of people share their emotional needs

If he loves the game as it its we can delete his read-rights of the MODS-Forum, isnt?

This young Simulation is so ugly, even her own Devs can not love it....

Darn, I knew there is a catch! Modes are available only for the game haters
