After testing the Silent Hunter III, whose missions end always the same, I uninstalled. Reading books on German submarines, especially "Coffins steel" Herbert A.Werner is no wonder that in the end the u-boats always lost. The first glory years (1939-1942) were followed by a dark period when the German submarine fleet was almost totally destroyed. In the period 1943-1945 the u-boats did not hunt but were hunted. 85% of the crew did not survive the war, and the delay in the commissioning of submarines as the type XXI, forcing crews to fight all those with obsolete submarines, marching almost certain death. In short: a suicide. As if this were not enough, some designed Mods that make it even more difficult game conditions. At the end of these missions only "Mandrake" survives. So far the reality, what follows is my view: a game is to entertain and defuse the player, but playing in such conditions results in the opposite. Nobody in their right mind would risk unless 50% chance of winning. I have therefore decided to install Silent Hunter IV and fight on the side of the Americans against the evil Empire of Japan. At least that submarine warfare was more balanced conditions, but we'll see about testing the game and missions.
