I think Im getting burn out from the Uboat steam forums if I see oen more post about there not being swastikas Ill eat my keyboard,
Yeah some things have legal issues, like American Warbirds so we cant have PBYs and B-24s - you know majorly historically relevant U-boat hunters, but how many people post to complain about that? Zero!

But the swastika?, oh about 10 posts a week. Jesus, talk about selective.
Sorry went abit OT there.....

I don't know how much longer I can hold out though. I keep having to start games over due to groundbreaking (for me) bugs. My engineer is down with TB, yet no matter what I attempt to do, ie, dive or ballast pumps, it says he's at the valves or the pumps and I cannot turn them on or off. My last save, I couldn't dive because he was at the valves, yet he's in his bunk with TB.
I haven't gotten the chance to get another officer because I keep starting over.
Thought i could weather the storm, but...

I'm just waiting for the modding tools to land so I can finally play!

Also keep in mind the game is EA, which means it's essentially still in Alpha.

Do it like I did. Played the crap out of it before EA release, now I am waiting until the worst has been ironed out before I play again. Why? Because this way I will notice true progress without getting annoyed and burned out.

Would be nice if one day the game had a plotting station and options to turn off automagical target course plotting. I also know I can ignore the option of having crew work out the targeting solutions, but would still like to have that as a checkbox realism setting that I can enable or disable for the career.

I bought it to support the devs... As it is now, I don't really like it. Not gonna request a refund though. So hoping it continues to grow into something wonderful eventually. Then again... maybe it's an opportunity for me to dust off some old code and build a little something that I can play with on the side?

Totally agree some of them are fixated on swastikas. Then again there is quiet and element on there with horrible views.

Well, people are also fixated with turning the game into SH3 2.0, which was never the intention for this game. It's funny what people will obcess over!

A lot of Nazi's in here! Everyone wants swastikas! Who wants to hold a book burning party?

Depends on the book, I can think of a few I'd like to get rid of for the betterment of humanity. Those teen vampire novels will be the first to go!

Here's my take on this, and a funny tip in the end:

The trend these days for games is that they publish half-a-game as early access , some even as a "full-game" (X4-Foundations for example) and they still suck at the launch, bigtime...

If we get lucky there's going to be enough patches to make these games playable/enjoyable later.

However, frustration is what folks will get, me included.

My tip is, just wait about a half a year after the game is available before buying, or even more and get a nice price on sales.
And check out reviews on Steam or here in subsim, you get the picture...

But then again, I did not heed my own advice, haha, jokes on me etc.
I was backin' Uboat and bought X4 when it was released, uBoat is early access and X4 was very lame/broken at the launch, now it's gettin better thought.

Took some time to get use to this U-Boat game and I'm starting to like it, sort of,
it will need a lot of patching and modding tools and I hope they keep coming.

Meanwhile, take a look at those *.xlxs files on \UBOAT_Data\Data Sheets folder, I've been able to mod some values and see the effect in game.
Also, I don't really know what I'm doing but it's fun and kill's the time as any other game...

For example, in Sandbox.xlxs and in the Reputation Purchases tab,
change the cost to 0 and you get free reputation purchases from leading officer at port, here's a link to a pic I just made to illustrate my point:

Changes made with Libre Office
https://www.libreoffice.org/

Excuse me but now I'm going to edit those xlxs files even more, the fun is that
when the game farts, I dunno if it really was because of my editing or just a bug.
