Do we really need a Silent Hunter 6?

I just got a new graphics card so I'm trying to give SH5 another spin. I'm pretty hardcore SH3. Never played SH4.

The modding process for SH5 is maddeningly confusing so far.

SH3 was pretty easy. Install stock, install GWX, activate mods using JSGME, and you're there.

Installing H.sie was a bit of a hassle but with the new S3F front end it's easier.

I've got Stock SH5 installed, and then updated, and I'm trying to figure out the TDW generic patcher. Haven't gotten to the mods yet.

Anyway.

I don't think a sub sim will ever be released that has all the details that this community requires. It's simply too expensive to produce. I am sure that the Ubi folks are aware of this community and what it is able to do and having seen what it did with SH3 they almost certainly purposefully leave some things unfinished with hooks available for modders to finish up for them.
