How people have taken to this is really mixed, some really like it as it is. Some love the management play aspects, and others just want a straight up Silent Hunter clone.
Nobody could say which you would fall in to until you have tried it for yourself.

Where the devs will go with it I don't know. But i get the impression they are trying to keep everyone happy, and they will probably keep tuning it to be flexible towards different play styles, but its not quite there yet, if you want to play it kinda like SH5, as it stands, you 'sort of' can - but its quite hard work.

I am always amused when people describe UBOAT as tedious to play. xD I have 3500hrs playtime with Hearts of Iron 3. THIS game is tedious, and I love it. In comparison UBOAT is a joke...but a pretty entertaining one.
