Why dont you like it? i think its just perfect. 1-2 patches more + some mods and SH 5 will be even better than SH 3 + GWX
Man, I think you're either out of your mind, or Ubisoft employee. Or both.

Nothing personal, though.

hu? why?

whats so bad about SH 5? there are no gamebreaking bugs, beside the load/save moral one. The game is in a much better state than the SH 3 release and much more fun. Its allot more immersive than all other SH games combined. SH 5 plays like SH3/SH4, just the controls are different and it has way more features. For me its a BIG upgrade from SH 3/SH4

Please, look around. According to many posts here and on official Ubi forums, the game in its current state is simply broken and unplayable.

As i said, NO gamebreaking bugs except one. I played now for 19 hours, 11. patrol and already uninstalled SH 3 + GWX. no reason for me to play it again, ever.

To be honest...90% of all the "bug reports" here are from people that just dont know how stuff works in SH 5. Like airplanes that dont attack, thats because you meet only scout planes the first year which arent armed! Many people also say you cant use deck gun or AA guns, which work just fine. Or the best example is that alot are saying that you cant change your deepth or heading like in SH 4 which is all wrong. Oh and BTW the AI is actually very good. you only meet "green" ships which have zero experience in the first months/first year. I have currently a hard time attacking any escorted convoy in the second year

I dont have SH5 yet (not released in NZ until 12 March ), But i will be ASAP. so i'm only going from what others have said. But :-

I always played SH3 on 100 % dificulty... im a hardcore realist player.....

I dont like the sound of the RPG elements.
I dont like all the bugs....especialy the ones that are still in from SH3 & 4.
I dont like the sound of the easy AI.... sounds too Arcadish.
I dont like the planes that just ignore you..... and planes shouldnt be flying at night.
The bad AI that makes ships ram into walls and land continusly, until they blow up.
Plus lots of other small problems like ships exploding like they carring fireworks etc.

BUT...

I do love the graphics, the First Person views and the modding tools.

So hopefully Devs release a few patches to kill the bugs.
Then modders can turn this game into an improved SH3 GWX, with these awesome graphics. or better

So yes this game will rock,
but just not yet.

These RPG Elements are actualy very nice, like you can have +2 knots for some minutes. I think its much better than the medal system used in SH 4

Yes, these bugs arent nice but can be easily ignored.

I dont like the sound of the easy AI.... sounds too Arcadish.

The AI gets alot more difficult after the first months/first year

They dont ignore you, they will report your position. The reason they dont attack its because they arent armed . Look in the museum, its the unarmed Hurricane scout type which you meet mainly in the first months
I answered some of your points

Its allright. I am just a bit angry that so many people are saying nonsense about SH 5. 90% of all bad stuff isnt even in the game, like the points mentioned above. Yes the game has its flaws and yes its buggy but its hellish fun too

All features from Uboat missions SH 4 are also included in SH 5, you can order planes/bombers to scout/attack other ships. And i love(!) attacking enemy fleets which are fighting german ships. Could just watch the gunfight all day with my periskope

Also, there are named ships in the game, like the hood, if you sink any of them than the wohle campaign changes.

I think SH5's main problem is exactlty the same as PT-Boats main problem.... during the first mission, a learning mission some controls are locked out preventing you acceesing them so that you can focus on key tasks. Unfortunately both Akella and Ubisoft failed to make that clear to players. Hence a there is lot of confusion about bugs.
