From what I have seen so far, SH5 is as half backed as SH4 or even more -given that content has been reduced so much- but I think final judgement should be reserved for the end-version, with all patches applied.
It will depend on each player if the current bugs -and there are a lot- are a deal breaker or not, of course...

It is absolutely ashame that the players are basically required to finish the game for the devs. You shell out 50-60 bucks for the game and it's only half finished because they know you will buy it and the community will finish it with mods. SHIV I played for about 2 days and shelved it, it left such a bad taste in my mouth that even when I installed the mods I only played it for maybe another week and just said screw it.
I was looking forward to this game and told myself I was not going to buy it once I learned about DRM. I ultimately said the hell with it and I would try it. So far I am utterly disappointed. The auto TDC, one of the easiest things in this series, has been made completely useless. It completely sucks the life out of the sim when you line it up only to have a bout a 10% chance of actually getting a torp to hit. NO matter how close you are to the target.
Ubisoft really sucker punched all subsimmers with this release. I don't see how they released the game as is, to me it needed much much more time in development. I'm sad to say I think they are killing the Silent Hunter series.
