Well the first thing to understand is that SH5 is a very complex 'study' sim out of the box, so there is much to take in. Then to realise that out of the box it's quite badly broken, so then to look for a mega mod to fix it. And of course there is a choice of megamods.
BTW until recently I had no idea that TWOS could be run in easy mode. This was new to me only a couple of weeks ago (last year I had been trying manual targeting and getting nowhere with it, to frustration). So yes in an ideal world there would be a beginner verses authentic setup choice, so that for example, auto targeting and the Auto TDC tutorial would work (it kind of works but several of the options such as the torpedo 1,2,3 lines are disabled by default in OFEV).
This is no fault of the terrific people here who have done the amazing work of making everything possible, but for sure there is a lot of reading to do and a larger learning curve than ubisoft developers would have intended. That is the price to pay for trying to play an older title that needs a lot of fixing. The point is though that it's pretty amazing when it works and worth persevering with! (and I'm barely scratching the surface of the game)
