Is this game worth buying at this time?

[Krauter]

As comparing SH5 to Sh3 w/ GWX or SH4/UBM/OM is unrealistic.

Compare SH3 stock to Sh5 stock and you'll see the game has much more POTENTIAL. I'm not saying this potential has been reached (no where near it), but what I'm saying is that, given the time and patience, Sh5 will be one of the greatest WW2 U-boat subsims of all time (if not the last )

Give it time, like you had to with its great predecessors, and you won't be disappointed.

Edit: And for all you people who say you don't support companies who give you unfinished games and leave them to be supported by unpaid modders.. Ahem, isn't buying/paying/supporting/whatever, Sh3 and 4 the EXACT SAME THING, considering they are from the same company, and came out in the same half arsed attempt when they were released?
