I'd also like to mention how I got here. I was big into Seawolf SSN back in the day. Had stumbled over it dirt cheap and came to enjoy it. But the Silent Hunter games were always out of sight, out of mind and didn't have the best reputation for good reviews either. Glad I went ahead and bought this because I was THIS close to buying Fleet Battle 2, lol. Which does look fun but basically just an overblown smartphone game.

Another thing. I felt like I was taking a pretty big chance on this at ten bucks....is SH5 worth it? I really wanted that one until I read all the bad reviews on it. Has it been patched/modded sufficiently to be worth a separate purchase? The graphics do not look more than marginally better than SH4 anyhow or is this one you have to see in action on a good computer to appreciate the difference?

Another thing that this game has greatly inspired is an urge to visit the Memorial Battleship park in Mobile. I knew they had a sub, but I had only the night before played as a Gato class vessel designated no less than USS Drum. Naturally I flipped my lid the next day when I read that Drum is the very boat moored at Mobile. Definitely on my bucket list.
