Yes SH5 is worth it, but only modded with essential mods or the whole megamod The Wolfes of Steel (TWoS). You need a non-Steam version 1.2.0 to start. From there you can:

a) Go to the TWoS thread and follow instructions. (In the SH5 modding forum section)

b) Play the modded stock game:

First, you must patch the 1.2.0 game with TDW Generic Patcher (will patch some game files, also sh5.exe and correct 20-30 basic game-breaking bugs, and no, Steam version cannot be fully patched with that).

Second, at least install these mods:
NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_ByTheDarkWraith (not essential, but then never complain about bad realism, HUD and icons you don't like, also no station Teleport)
Torpedo Circle FIX (from TWoS, take the 2 files)
DeckGun Friendly Waves (from TWoS)
Shooting Range - Single mission (not essential but have 1 quick training mission at least)
No Damn Bubbles, No Damn Halo mod

Cheers,
