Are there any real deal breakers in SH5 ?

I agree with Neal and others: the AI has been destroyed beyond belief - even when running 100% realism! I also wonder what happened to the formerly HUGE catalog of shipping !! Where're my fishing boats, my coasters...??

Know what I miss and what I haven't seen since SH3? The ability to manually set torpedo depth accurately so's one can use the magnetic trigger effectively and bust the target's back (er, "keel" for you purists!)

Overall, considering it appears Ubi, "threw out the baby with the bathwater" here, trashing even those things that added to the game and in the category, "ain't broke; don't fix," I suspect this was the last and final installment in the Silent Hunter saga. I'd be surprised if we even see another patch. As far as the stuff still showing up in the code, like the other sub types, these are all just left overs from previous versions that were left due to poor housekeeping. Nothing more...
