But you DO know thet there is a turn to my heading key? No? Press F1 and you'll see to which key it's bound to. Works like a charm and lets you move exactly where you want. If you want to turn to a heading, simply use "turn hard port/starboard" (yes, press F1 again to see the key combination!) and "rudder amidships" (F1) and use the compass in the control room.

Not reading the manual and then complaining .....

I’ve not played it but spent time there reading again and again how very poor this game is and some of the stuff is embarrassing. I waiting on reading it’s got full worp drive….or extreme mega dive button.

What ever happened to authenticity to WW2 U-boats? They go and model the inside and let themselves and we down buy coming up with Apps to work the sub. I want rusting leavers, authentic dials and certainly Commands.

Does it have a gramophone or is there just an i-pod stuck in as it look clean and works.

It might just be me, but the game seems to auto-update whenever I launch and connect to Uplay.....

I'm not sure what all the commotion about patches for various "versions" is about.

Oh, it's not an update, it's spyware designed to spy on your gaming activities!

I have been watching and reading everything about this game for awhile now and could'nt wait for it ........what a kick in the guts.whoever is in charge at ubi for giving the thumbs on this game to be released in this condition should be fired.

Captain muppet has gone down with the ship.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
what he said!

Well, according to the majority of the angry posters so far I'm afraid that went by the wayside in lieu of arcade, RPG and other fantasy elements.

I would pay for super mods like GWX for SH5 be sure.
it will take one year or more, assuming that it could be done.

Simple as opposed to having a compass right there in the UI and clicking it once?

Sorry im bitter i can't get through ten minutes of the game without turning it off.

I find it curious how many people pass off all sorts of things with "the modders will fix it", as if that absolves Ubi and the Devs for any responsibility for what people have bought and can play right now.

I think if I were a modder, I'd start charging for my mods. Why not, when so many are prepared to say "Hell, we paid Ubi $50 for this, but it'll be OK once the modders fix it all FOR FREE"?

Cheers
Great point, UBI should not release an unfinished product depends on modders to improve the work like in SH 4.
