The sensors are 'modelled' in such a way that they can't even be modded to give reasonable answers, and if 1C:Maddox did subs you'd have options of modelling trim tanks, CoG changes from launched torpedoes etc, and boats would handle realistically.
After several generations of big-selling games, Ubi have never even attempted to fix any of these problems: instead, they've chosen to add more layers of buggy, poorly thought-out human content that might by okay if it only worked.
Ubi have nothing to offer 1C and 1C shouldn't get suckered into offering Ubisoft credibility they don't deserve.

Silent Hunter III is great it's the new one that's trash but that starforce on the disks is terrible trouble.
Silent Hunter III is fun.
