SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - Returning SH3/4 player, what's the SH5 status?

So I used to play SH3 and 4, and had a darned good time at it. My only complaints I can remember these days were the fatigue system in 3 and the silent running bug in 4 (where I would lose the ability to run silent, and promptly end up on the bottom of the ocean when a warship found me).

Then SH5 came out, and I avoided it at the time because I was turned off by Ubisoft's DRM (a fresh issue at the time) and reports of extreme general bugginess.

It's been almost a year since SH5's release, so I'm assuming Ubisoft has released all the patches they intend to release at this point, and there are probably some decent mods out by now (maybe even a nice supermod or two).

Without starting a flamewar (please), I'm wondering, has SH5 (with the best mods) surpassed its predecessors (with their best mods) yet? What improvements does it bring, and where might it be lacking by comparison? How is it in terms of crashing and other weird bugs?
