SH5 advice please.

[RedTerex]

First of all...Ahoy there to everyone here at Subsim

I usually post on UBi's forum but have not been on there since a week or so after SH5's release due to reading almost EVERY post that expressed the fact that SH5 was basically garbage, so I have avoided it this time and have still not yet purchased it.

I have bought and played every other SH sim since SH1, way back in the late 90's and thouroughly enjoy the whole concept of virtual sub warfare...as a PC game you can't beat it.

I have been sourly dissapointed at not wanting to purchase SH5 because of its present state mess

However I think it is now time for some advice on my possible purchase of this sim.

Would I be right in thinking that after I install the sim, I then install Ubi's patch v1.2. Would I then immediately install the mods on this forum that hopefully rescue the garbage to make it a playable?

So what I need to know...

Do the mods now rescue SH5 to a decent game?
Are all the mods on this forum compatible with V1.2 patch?
What mods will I definately need to install from this forum?
and is there any order of mod installation?

Your general opion of SH5 with mods installed.

Thank you in advance
