Is SH5 the Future of Silent Hunter?

[ReallyDedPoet]

The strength and some may say weakness ( but not me ) has always been how moddable this series has been.

The game itself is just a foundation, no matter what UBI put out, folks would not have been happy with it. There is a huge variety of opinions here. What may be a standard interface for one person, is not for the other. I have more of an issue with how the game plays then how it looks. There is no excuse for some of the ongoing bugs, glitches that have existed and still do.

Is it real? Is your computer a submarine?

I agree, unless we were there, or are presently a submariner it will never be real.

Do I want to play the same game over and over including using the same interface? No, I would get bored pretty quick. At first I did more than a few wtfs when I started with 5's UI, but with a few changes I am growing to like it. Plus there are mods that give give you the SH3\4 look.

As far as the crew interaction part of 5, again out of the box it is flawed, but who knows what modders will be able to do with it. As it is now there are already a few that make some nice changes to it.

I am not letting UBI off the hook yet, but like 3 and 4 before it, 5 just may go onto being a half decent sim. Time will tell.
