This depends on what level of user you are I think. If you are not yet hard core manual TDC-everything, and want to enjoy the game a bit before the patch comes out (already has actually), then I would say go for it. I know I am having a blast with it, just learning the ropes and enjoying the scenery and new surprises. It definitely has the feel of a new game, with the larger boats and just the general immersion in the Pacific. A few qthings I really noticed/liked comapred to SH3:
-Great sounding gun action, both AA and Deck gun
-Love the Radar stations, very nice.
-I almost shed a tear when I heard the Bosun's Pipe call the watch to turn to
-Great enemy crew reactions...cowering on deck and general confusion during attacks.
I haven't got indepth with torpedo attacks yet, so i can't even comment on the issues people seem to be having with Stadimeters and crashes. I plan to learn all about the TDC in due time.
I know there are a lot of bug reports and negative vibes going on here right now, and I can see how this would scare away any potential customer. But this game is definitey worth checking out since many issues will be fixed/patched, and in some cases may even be hardware specific, so you never know what your experience will be like.
