I don't have SH5, so i can't draw a comparison on which game shipped in a worse state.

However. I was trying to point out that "back then" Simulation games had a reserved column in those magazines, with according reviews. F4 was the most complex combat flightsim of it's time, of course it had issues, and imo fully deserved the rating it got.
