I do agree that, as a pac man clone, this game is attrociously bad, missing all the marks. As a sub management game with sim elements however, I personally enjoy it quite a lot. Issue free? Nope but the issues I have are either self inflicted through mods, or not so bad I can't play it.

Hi.
Silent hunter 5 was a good sim , UBOAT is not silent hunter 5 , and both sims have good and bad sides to them , one big difference UBISOFT NEVER fixed a lot of the snags and now have abandoned it , where as UBOAT is still under going mods and fixes , and has got a lot of potential in the sim and two big updates on the horizon , given time i think UBOAT will outstrip silent hunter 5 .
This UBOAT sim is growing on me , but it could do with a manual has its a steep learning curve .

A lot of people forget that this game is on early access. UBOAT is still in development. Give it time to grow and, above all, give the developers time to add everything they need to make it a must-have sim.
After that, we'll be able to talk about what's good and what's not, and modders will be able to work on a solid basis.

Yeah I've had U-BOAT since day 1 almost. And to start with I was not to impressed ether.
But after all the years it has improved.
End of April 24 now, and things look like it might be finished quite soon.
And it's finally looking like it will be a "must have" game.
So don't give up on it yet.

I would also like a manual - if not in paper form, a PDF would be good - I absorb things better from being able to read and re-read; preferably with a glass of a good Scotch to assist with the absorption process.....

Then I am knocking on a bit; at 65 you could say I am one of the 'old gang', but with no intention of scuttling the U-Boat yet!
