So you dropped the game before even playing it?

Tut is not a representation of the game.

If you can get past the DRM issue, and some of the inherent game bugs, I'm sure SH5 is a nice addition to the series. I think the main problem, is the big departure from what has gone before. Once people adjust to the differences, I'm sure they will enjoy the game for what it has to offer, rather than what it does not.

I'm still undecided, I want to buy the game, but at the same time this OSP really does seem like a proverbial thorn in the side. That said, it might not be as much of an issue as it first seems, and may well even be removed a few months down the line (we can but hope). I just don't want to risk being landed with a lemon; losing my net, being unable to play because of said loss or because Ubi's servers have died in some way (damn hamsters, on strike as usual).

After completing the first real patrol:

Advantages over SH3/GWX:

very nice danger level display around warships (realtime contact update enabled...)
automatic ship/convoy route forecast (while plotting waypoints)
graphics
U-boot interior (minus the crew zombies, who are terrible)
reveal hidden ships ability (sound guy). Before SH5, the hydrophone was underpowered (couldn't detect convoys at 100nm).
>256x time compression apparently doesn't disable aircrafts anymore (in exchange, aircrafts don't ever attack you...)

Disadvantages over SH3/GWX:

everything else. AI, ship fires, ship damage model, sub damage model, simplified controls, interface, commands. Either non-existing, only SH3-era or even worse.
