I will wait for SH5 to finish baking by the modders

Yea.. I see the promise, but it's junky arcade nonsense in its current state.. I have already gone back to SHIV and will come back when the very talented modders have had their way with it and it can be savored properly

On that note: thanks to you the modding community you have taken what were medeocre games at release and made them something truely amazing!

Well said my good man!

But there's a bunch of us here who urge us to buy it regardless of quality, otherwise they fear there will never be another ww2 submarine 'simulator'.

Sticking with SH 4 myself.Only big thing SH 4 needs is more interior which some started but were unable to finish.

That's a good point about Ubisoft being paid for the modders cleanup work. That's not cool...

I tried the game for two days then gave up and uninstalled it. I'll give it a shot again in six months after the mods do their good stuff and Ubisoft releases how many ever patches they'll need to make it work right.

I don't understand how Ubisoft could release such an incomplete and poorly designed product. They used to be the standard of quality. Now, after the weak SHIV release and now this mess with SH5, I will never buy a Ubisoft product again until I have the opportunity to read game website and user reviews.

EXACTLY!... The thing is, I absolutely love subsims (as far back as Silent Service for the NES) and I have purchased all of the Silent Hunter series
without ever considering a review of it, call it "love-blind stupidity". Same thing here with SH5, I bought it the day it was released because I knew that Ubisoft was really on the right track (well at least with their last couple of series SH3, Sh4, and the U-boat add-on) Thanks to this very talented community, they are going to save Ubisofts debacle. I know that with time Silent Hunter 5 will come out perfect! How much time and effort, that is the real question.

What makes everyone think that the modders will actually be able to fix this god?

Will they be able to add two years of war? Will they be able to add a Type II or a Type IX U-Boat for example?

That's just for starters.

Personally, I think SH5 is hopeless.

Ye of little faith....
The modders are releasing, day by day, give them time!

Admittedly I haven't played it yet, but from what I've read here I think that after three more patches (the seemingly norm for the SH series), 12 more months of "modder exploration", and the removal of DRM, I think SH5 could be a lot of things to a lot of players. I see SH5 as a long term investment, with the greatest return not to occur until way off into the future.

Is this the way the game should have been released? Maybe not, but it is what it is and at the moment for me it's a naked, wet, screaming 2 week old kid.
