yes, youre right. main problem is, there are too few who have the knowledge to mod sh5 and go beyond the borders...and some of them wont share their knowledge to others. so theres a big gap in skills. as someone said in another post, many of the "old gang" left the sh-series after the big fail of sh5. and most of who are left, mod sh3 or sh4, as they know what to do there. they got familiar with the structure and the tools used.
sh5īs only friendly side for modding is the scriptability. making scripted stuff (which cannot be done by many) and create custom UIs. but..if there is even NO slot for own 3d models?! no other uboats? no useful tools? no support for the modding-community? i can understand, why only a few comrades are left modding this game, its simply hard to mod.
look at "Cliffs of Dover". this is how a community is supported by the developers.
but for us the reality is not that bright. we would need the help, cause beside the bugs, many things in sh5 seems already at its limit, even its the game with the best potential. but we cant use it, as to the knowledge limitations and the lack of good tools, which make modding easier for people, who have another live than coding software.
its a shame, what ubi did to us with sh5...when looking, what a great community grew in the years. it not only splitted the crew here, it also forced many to leave the boat. i get really upset...thinkin about this.
