Seems a fair review to me - apart from:
"In principle, Silent Hunter 5 ought to be another edge from the same piece as the previous games. The game features for a number of campaign opportunities (yes real campaigns - not just a big sandbox) from 1939 to the end of the war. There are missions underway in the form of patrols against targets in high seas, "blockade" tasks of UK ports and free patrols. There are also a number of individual missions, which can be fun if you do not have the energy for the protracted campaign trips and just want "here and now" action or a good challenge. You choose when to start your campaign so you can jump right into the early "Happy Days" before the Allied dominance and presence was too much or you can try out the last days of the war, which really makes you struggling with the back against the wall against the overwhelming number of escort vessels, patrolling aircraft and a large presence of ASDIC-equipped destroyers."
Which is untrue, the campaign runs from '39 - '43
Edit to add - wonder if he/she was thinking of the missions
