Is this game worth buying at this time?

Improved compared to what? Stock SH5?

I only played the stock game for a few hours, then loaded in the IRAI and Environment 4.5 mods, along with ones to change flags and the interior of the sub. I don't think any of those mess with the damage models, but can't be sure.

In play I sank mainly medium freighters and tankers, and they proved pretty resilient. Only a couple of times was a single torpedo enough to do the job, and I had to use the deck gun or a second torpedo to finish them off. Often I would set tankers and freighters burning fiercely from bow to stern for hours, but it seemed to do nothing and that annoyed me a bit. I always used torps set to magnetic just below the keel, and hoped for more single shot kills. I'm not bothered by the damage model, apart from fire seeming to be pretty ineffectual.
