You can't be talking about Silent Hunter 5 now?
I agree on SH3 but SH5 was massacred by the community at the release... And rightfully so. There are unfortunately many similarities between SH3/IL2 vs SHV/CloD... SH3 had a rough start but the masterpiece was there to see for everyone and now all the mods made for it makes it live forever. SH5 at the other hand was an ambitious project that never met it's target and was released too early... Unfortunately a year or two if love by the devs may have saved it - but they where axed by the publisher.
So here we are with the "could be masterpiece" in our hands and the irritation over the bad management hurts,both from the publisher and the developer. Let's just hope they survive so we get to see the game at it's full potential!
