Good review Neil.... but you left a few things out (that Im sure others have already pointed out)

Morale system is broke. My crew's morale was at 1 dot the minute I left Keil Harbor on my first patrol.
TDC is broke. If you use any ability that increases your torp speed or warhead effectivness, the TDC does not take this into account and your torps MISS their targets.
Rudder control is 1 deg at a time or 35 deg with automtic Amazing/ludicrous/Insane/Holy S*&t speed (what ever ubi named it) ahead.
Rediculous mission requirements (sink 150,000 tons by June 1940...really? in 8 months?)
Germany had Sonar in 1939?
Germnay had Radar in 1939?
American Liberty Cargo ships in 1939?
Only half the war is available to play.

Dont get me wrong... I think the review is spot on. There is so much promise with this SH release. But at the same time this is the most incomplete release to date. As if Ubi fully expects modders to finish the sim for them.

to Ubi and

to the review.
