To be honest, this looks to me like a typical "rage quit" reaction of a person who has installed the game or the mod incorrectly, or who didn't bother to check provided install instruction and documentation ...I saw this so many times (and not only in SH5, this is common for all sims)... 
By the way, TWoS in not "my" megamod...It includes work of more than 100 individual moderes and some of them were involved in subsim icons development, like GWX...
Since you didn't actually try it, it is somewhat pointless for me to convince you the opposite but I can say that you are very wrong...I'm also SH3/4 veteran and I think I'm pretty much competent to compare these games in various aspects.
I agree on this but my statement from my previous post still stands...  |
You can't know that, but it wasn't the first time I installed SH5/WoS - it was a rage quit, for sure, though.
I tried to get into SH5 over and over and over again since 2014.
Most I played it might have been for a week and then I had enough because the game, in the end, is a soulless, unrealistic, empty Ubicrap game.
And while I know about the high frequency of people not installing it correctly, I can assure you,
I did.
I followed the instructions step by step and it all worked out like it should.
And "not enough" energy? Really?
Installing SH5 and the mod pack can take a lot of time/preparation before you can actually play - you know that.
So at what point is "enough enough"?!
Also, I can't immerse myself into a game where:
- My first watch officer still wears his stupid eye patch (why!?)
- My boat looks like a salvaged rust bucket (why!?)
- My deck crew is unable to hit a freighter 300m out in calm seas, as if they are the guys from
.
- Explosions. Explosions everywhere. Long live Michael Bay.
- Bad Weather: Crew spamming me with
"Running on both Diesels" all the time. Ugh.
- Sonar guy is useless and confused: Calm sea, single contact, few hundred meters... chasing for a while... he reports: "duh, new contact 330, close"
Yeah, really Sherlock!? 
The clunky controls, especially moving around (moving up/down the conning tower f.e.) combined with so many little bugs and hick ups that just destroy whatever this could have been are absolutely enough for me to come to this judgement.
If you are satisfied with what SH5 offers, even modded, fine - but implying I must have done something wrong because I have higher expectations to a simulation is really pushing it.
And before you might say
nitpicking, think twice what a simulation is all about...
