Hope it saves some time to fellow subsimmers. Go check on (and donate, though not obliged), in particular this thread, by THEBERBSTER, which tells you everything you might want to know: You can go a bit farther than me in terms of realism (play with TDW real navigation) but then it-s impossible with the Steam version (need to use an incompatible TDW patcher.) SH4 remains IMHO the historically richest and most dynamic and varied campaign there is (TMO, OM, etc.), but SH5 - modded with Open Horizons and more - is a significantly improved and immersive experience, with even more realism as a simulation if you want. There are fantastic modders out there (DarkWraight, Sober, and many others) who transform the somehow unfinished stock version into an amazing subsimmer with big advantages over SH4 (graphics, crew management, overall immersion).

I wanted to play with the most realistic (physics, historical accuracy, manual targeting) and graphically cool mods. Longtime SH4 player I have spent many MANY hours on SUBSIM finding a satisfying modlist that didnt CTD too often.

The Collectors Edition of the game has been recalled in Germany, after it was discovered that the publisher failed to remove a portion of Silent Hunter 5's World War II symbols, such as swastika flags which was not in accordance with German law. Silent Hunter 5 was later made playable in Uplay's "offline mode" the following year, effectively eliminating the online requirement entirely. The always-on requirement was quietly lifted towards the end of 2010, being changed to a single validation on game launch. The scheme quickly came under fire after a denial-of-service attack on Ubisoft's DRM servers in early March, 2010, rendered Silent Hunter 5 and Assassin's Creed II unplayable for several days. Initially Uplay required a constant connection to the internet for Silent Hunter 5 to run, halting the game if the connection was lost during gameplay. Silent Hunter 5: Battle of the Atlantic uses Ubisoft's Uplay for digital rights management. With more testing and less bugs this game could have been the best in the series", while PC Gamer UK criticized the bugs and DRM but said that without them, "it would be the best Silent Hunter yet." DRM GameSpot's Brett Todd said, " Silent Hunter 5 has promise, but this buggy and unstable game needs to be sent back to the drydock for some serious refitting." ģDJuegos' Álvaro Castellano Córdova said that " Silent Hunter 5 is the most accurate simulation of World War II submarine conflicts in the Atlantic. Many bugs and performance issues will also bog down your ability to enjoy the game." The campaign missions are fairly low-key, with quick missions not really matching the depth of the gameplay. GameZone's Steven Hopper said, "The game offers some deep elements, but the overwhelming interface and steep learning curve make it very difficult to get into. The game received "mixed" reviews according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.
