For some this point of view can be silly but to my accurate Dynamic shadows are a very important inmersion feature and this Uboat simulator I think meet this sort of detail to a good standard. So far this Uboat is a work in progress so we can expect more improvements

After a long time i play a submarine game again, i like UBOAT much more than SH3

SH4 was nice too, but i sit here in germany and like the typ VII C more than pazific boats. I guess the AI is good enought, my boat was sunk by some destroyer

It is nice too send a diver too a sunken ship, or too take survivers and sell them. Just need some french vine, ladys and barget-bread on the boat

Uboat is a good game but it is a video game first and a sub sim second. This is good for some people, I originally liked it a lot more than SH3/5.

SH5 is **** but has an amazing mod called Wolves of Steel which makes it competitive with modded SH3. The modded version of SH5 is more of a sub sim and you can turn off things like the external camera and GPS system (map) that uboat has. I prefer SH5 TWoS these days and am working towards playing it with 100% "realism".

I'm also looking forward to Wolfpack being completed since it seems to be even more of a sub sim than modded SHs.

Do not play unmodded SH5 it is ****.

Not silly at all but I'd rather have the time spent configuring a competant AI, authentic historical following of the Battle of the Atlantic (tactics, equipment, etc.), etc. vs. fancy graphics.
General statement; not one on U-boat per se.

I was skeptical but I like uboat better than SH, skipper only mode is far more immersive in my opinion. It still needs some mod support but given time it will be far better

I like U Boat also more than SH3. But sometimes I miss a multiplayer option.
