Default Points

i Recently completed the game, and there may be some points, wich i would like to share.
My Grammar is not the best, so please dont point that out, Thanks!
I lie here still in darkness quiet. So ever deep in shadows below, forever forgotten, forever so rotten a breathless corpse in an iron can.

The Campaign is fun and all but, if you sink this many battleships as you do, you should probably be promoted to the highest rank you could get, in a 3 year period i racked up 1.2 million tonnes worth of ships, wich is quite a lot i think!

i did not find any bugs in the campaign wich made me mad, except the mission in the med where you have to destroy 2 aircraft carriers wich goes in Convoys betwen gibraltar and Malta. There were no Convoys, not one single. Dan said the convoys were pretty rare but there were NONE, how do you then complete a mission where nothing of that you need to sink never appears?

Wolfpacks, They are here, and they are queer, seems like they just patrol around in a group, not doing anything. and they are not placed historically correct wich may be a turn of for some people, but the first time i met up with one? priceless!

AI then, British ships try to ram you, Friendly ships do ram you. and the AI friendly ships got a tendency to go straight for you, perhaps in envy of your nice Uboat or something else, perhaps your lucky charms?

Sink a Ship and never see it again! well, sounded awesome! At the Happy times patrol i sunk 2 Nelson battleships, felt great cause there were only two of them! WRONG, i met 3 more under the same
period wich is quite a turn off aswell.

And Dynamic campaign, enemy reacts to your decisions! They do? havent noticed that so far, perhaps it needs some tweaking.

Aircraft is not very hard either, they got terrible accuracy, if they attack you at all.

Destroyers like to put down depth charges with no killing capability, but seriously it doesent do any damage at all, got a spread of 4 depth charge thrown onto me, and i lied still they hit me at point blank and i didnt suffer any damages. Hedgehogs on the otherhand, makes me shiver.

The characters on your Uboat is nothing short of interesting, Voice casting is great, + points for this, you can really feel with the LI when he goes mad because of the war taking what he feels matters the most too him.

well, i cant figure out what more too write about it, dont want to spoil neals Review.

if you have any questions, let me know and i will do my best to answer them.

Thanks for me, Happy hunting!

You may very well be the first person ever to "Beat" or "finish" a silent hunter game ever...

Nothing against you its just ... well... arcade like.

Well done completing the game, Good Job.

couple of questions :-

1. What difficulty were you playing on?

2. How many days have you been playing and how many hours per day?

About the aircraft. I noticed that too. The first time the watch spotted a pair, I ended up diving right away. The second time, I was in the middle of something else when I noticed them flying next to me, so I waited for them to come back and sure enought, they didn't come after me.

I have issues with the targeting compated to SH4. I can't hit anything to save my life and I watched that video tutorial one of the members made here, so I can't wait to check that out.
