All I Need to be Happy

Wow!!! What a nice screenshot!! Leaving the whole DRM thing aside,I think SHV has some very good immersive points that the Mod team or Devs can improve on and make this a fantastic sim.

Also... many people think that torpedo explosion&splash graphics of SH5 are simply bad.
Far from excelent...

Not enough. SH3 lacked gameplay functions that still can't be fixed. Some parts of SH4 are better - much better. But I agree that the ideal should be to take what's best from what you have, fix what's broken, and build on that. Cool stuff can be added to a game that's functioning well; one that's not can't be replaced with another that's not.

Or in SH5s case broke whats already working
Agreed the game has huge potential
Immersive factor is missing big time
Only so many times I wanna ask the tool in the radio room how is brother is doing on the Bismark ( In 1940 they were off on a secret mission to hunt American cruisers )
When is my hydraphone op gonna give me a sound I chase that only turns out to be a fishing vessel ? or a neutral cargo ship ?
When is my crew going to spot a convoy ? instead of a taskforce every time
The ability to pick any year as a start date - esp for testing instead of having to start a new career every time you make a campaign change to see it and having to TC all the way to the year you want to look at

A lot that was good and worked in SH3 has dissappeared to be replaced by some lame stuff and cool additions too

I think what Brag and others wanted are the eye candy and additions ( new engine,dynamic campaign etc ) built on top of SH3 so you included all that was great about SH3 plus all that is good with SH5

Now that would really have been something. Sadly, the reality is always different.
