looking forward to it...

Sh5 Had alot of possibilitys, could have been good, But all im seeing thats better in 5 than 3/4 is really the eye candy, The crew system IMO is alot worse, the game is quite badly optimised, and buggy as hell... I played it for a day and put it up cause I could have no fun... If I dived, I had to stay in the conning tower, or the game would keep going black screen and crash, and or be so laggy that I couldnt have fun...

I am mixed about the crew system. On the one hand I like not having to move men around manually or having to bother with that kind of micromanagement.

But on the other hand not only am I lukewarm towards some of the "special abilities" of the different men, I dislike that many of them require me running to them on the sub to activate them.

Overcharge is one of the abilities that is given a Hotkey. They definitely made the most useful of the abilities easy to do with an F# button, but with so many buttons unused I was surprised that they didn't make more things binded to keys.

wow... if that was real I know alot of Uboat commanders would have been happy... that Is faster than the fleetboats. lol

anouther issue for me with 5, the key setup, Im use to the arrows to move, but I keep changeing my course. lol, and im use to useing D to dive, and A to level out. lol

so instead of diveing, in Freaking moveing to the right... which sometimes, dosent work out all to good. lol

I cant tell you how many times I have ordered full speed ahead by accident of course at the worst of times.... stupid arrow keys.

I might just mod them out.

One thing they did get right is to get rid of the 'enter' key to fire the torpedo.
