daftspore:
I really appreciated this review. I plan to buy the game in 8-12 weeks and it is this kind of succint review that I need to give myself an anchor on what to look out for. Mods will be the key. If I may be so bold, I would greatly appreciate knowing in 8 weeks or so what mods you are using (at that future time) for SH5. Could I ask you to send me an email to the address you see in the graphic next to my name? Just subject line it with SH5 , and I will be able to find you quick to see what you are up to in June. Thanks!

I haven't picked up this game, and won't for at least a year. I think I'll wait 'til the modders have worked it over. Lame-a*s UBI...

100,000 tons on one patrol? That's ridiculous. Is this a subsim or an FPS?

vois, I will try to remember

HMCS, you can go back to refit after you run out of torps so it is bearable. I have just applied the half tonnage mod and it makes it easier and less tedios.

NEWSFLASH

: I have just been attacked by 3 planes. Did my usaul, oh its a plane, how nice and kept on the surface. Didn't see the 3 planes behind the spotter which attached and destroyed my periscope and did 30% hull damage. Therefore it must be the year that dictates whether you get attacked.

I am currently sailing in 1941 if anyone is interested.

It's a subsim. It is not correct to say that you need 100,000 in one patrol. It is a campaign goal and you have multiple patrols to achieve the goal in, until the date you are given.

Yep, that is correct.

I still think they are high as to get a win in the first pat of the campaign you need to hit close to 200,000 tonnes which seems hard compared to the real life commanders:

Halving them makes them more realistic in my opinion.
