SH5 is still collecting dust, questions...

i would have to say that Silent Hunter 5 is an enjoyable experience for gamers depending on what experience they are looking for.

Unfortunately, it just is not what i am looking for - not entirely.

i enjoy the environment and the look of SH5, i enjoy the fact that you can first person the entire sub.

i simply dont like how the storyline and characters are so unbelievable.

Agree with this. I have played SH5 a fair share (even heavily modded) and even though i enjoy the graphics thanks to the excellent modding commuity i find myself thinking a bit too much that i should like this. Not that i necessary do it.

I, as well as many of you, agree with that most of the problem is in the story line. Waking up as an 1WO and then at port being promoted on the dock as well as getting your own Typ VII-submarine on the foot is just as immersion killing as anything can get. Well known of the history of german submarine-commanders. The knowledge that you have to stick with Typ VII-subs is of course there and does not serve the sense of realism any favours either.

And then we have the scripted plot about sinking this and that many tonnage and do this and that because otherwise Ubisoft will punish you. And that is what i realised when standing at the conning tower and looking at the horizon. Ubisoft threw every historical accuracy, or sense of that, out of the window just because they can. It is impossible for me to get any WWII-feeling because of this.
