They dropped it in the sense that you don't have to be connected to play, as it was before -- not just because of a connection drop. You can now play not being connected, and yes, that includes the dynamic campaign. Can't really see the comparison to ROF.

The similarity is that even though the details and technicalities differ, you still need at least one authentication per gaming session to be able to play the dynamic campaign.

In layman's terms, if your internet drops before you are inside the game proper then you're out of luck and locked out of your legally purchased game

Well any game that forces me to be 100% online, and gives me the feeling although I have payed for the game, it does not belong to me, is a game that stays in the shops selves. I will not support that kind of treatment of legal customers. Sure there are fair reasons for protecting software, but it should not go so far to annoy paying customers so far that they rather not buy it, than put up with this kind of protection.

I will buy BoB even if I need to put a dead coala over my head to pass some kind of new DRM...

I'm not bothered at all with the DRM used, if it not uses some processing power or connection band when I'm flying...

I'm an olnline flyer, so, just for me, no problem at all even the need to go online to fly, and I'll buy this sim even if have the risk of DRM melt my rig... LOL

Anyone ask me if its worth getting SH5 i say no. Maby in 1-2 years when its modded up, but SH3 GWX stil is the best Atlantic sub sim....

I do like SH4 alot, but thats because i can sail the japanese subs......way way more fun than the German ones
