Heck, you're right, it's been almost two years since SH5's release. I'm not used to it being 2012 yet.

LOL

As rough as last year was, I am the opposite. I am glad it is here. Last year felt like the last hour of Das Boot.

Yeah with the numerous mods (40) I have for SH5 it starting to surpass the other SH games. Silent Hunter 3 - GWX w/SHCommander was by far my favorite, only needed the main mod to run and maybe a few more.

Out of the box your not going to like SH5, besides the visuals. Give the game a try, it will grow on you and will soon love it.

Welcome in Wisq,
As you can see, even though the opinions differ a bit, they all point to the plus side of SH5. I like you and many others, delayed even coming to this game because of the DRM. Now, after getting the mods that I think are the "Go-To", this game has become my favorite. I have no problem hitting targets, and as far as immersion goes, this game is on top. Do I still love 3&4? Absolutely!
For the current price, (if you love the series) you've gotta' at least mod this one up and try it. Get past that tutorial mission, put your best mods in and it's 1939!!

I'm in the same boat (pun intended) SH3 with GWX player wanting to give SH5 a go. What are the recommended mods to get the best from the game?
I was waiting for a GWX style super mod to come out but I guess it isn't going to happen.
