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.

yes, that is exactly the problem. Cant believe that most people that are complaining are just blind lemmings that repeat the bad stuff even when it not true. Best example is the official german forum. Its just crazy there, everyone is complaining and b*tching around about stuff that isnt even true

And if it's that bad for the hardcore subsimmers who have a rough idea of what to do, imagine what it's like for a newbie, that coupled with the terribly short and uniformative manual (and the Americans/Canadians only get a PDF one, who reads those?) may be enough on it's own to sink the game, which would be very sad indeed.

Oh yes, the manual is like a new april joke...like you say to a guy: "Build me a house, here is the manual". The guy looks in the manual, it has just one page with one sentence on it:

"Good luck"
