Worth another go?

Is it worth me re-installing SH5 and giving it another go?? Are there any mods that pretty much eliminate the arcade style gameplay and return the game to the essential brilliance that was SH3??

See, I bought SH5 about a year and a bit ago, installed it, played it for all of 15 minutes and quit and uninstalled it. Didn't play it for about 8 months or so, then tried to install the game again after an 8 month hiatus, and again quit after about 30 minutes this time.....it just felt restrictive and too arcady. Its a shame, because I sometimes wish I hadn't bought the game.

The "storyline" nature that I felt in the first mission with the U-Boat commander prattling on about him sensing a war coming I just didn't like I'm afraid. I liked the complete and utter open freedom that both SH3 and SH4 had, you started an independant career, went off to your patrol zone and did what you want.....have they taken that aspect out of SH5?

Have I been too harsh on SH5?? I considered the SH series complete at 4 as I just haven't been able to really accept SH5 as part of what is a fantastic series of games. Is it worth trying to re-install it again? Are there any mods that remove the games.....arcade like feel?

Cheers chaps
