But to ask your question, without any previous subsim experience and based only on that description - sure, I'd buy it.

For comparison:
When I wanted to try out heli sims I did not start with the Take On Helicopters on easy settings. Instead I got X-Plane 10 and constantly crashed for the first week or so until I saw some RL training lessons on YouTube. But that's what I mean by " I'm the best example here"
And you say you're not a hardcore gamer ;-P. I think Youtube is really helping to revive the genre. There are quite a few messages on the steam forum from new player or player with little or no experience with mil sims. Not tons but a lot more than you usually see and the usual answer (just like here) is to asking them to watch some of Jive's video.
