Don't Shot Me for Asking

The only true way to know what is better - is to find out what is better for YOU.

What I mean by that is a very basic thing: only YOU can sit down and see what do you enjoy, which parts of the game (or anything for that matter) you will enjoy more, which parts will annoy you greatly, while which parts or problems you can discard or pretty much not notice.

I will give you an example:
There was a discussion just recently on nearly exact same topic, where a user decided that SH5 is just not good enough realistically for him in the sense of campaign. That the campaign is just too "tonnagy", unrealistic, that the inability to transfer to different flotillas is a big problem...
For me - I can discard that, pretend that I'm on a regular hunt on a grid, with no tonnage reqs. At the same time - I cannot play without my lovely speech recognition: I just enjoy it so much, it makes my game more realistic (my wife laughs at me whenever I actually play, because I sound so very strange when I speak).
I also cannot forgive SH3 for not having real navigation. That just makes up for so much; Real Nav makes it extremely hard to figure things out, sometimes.

I posted the above not to start the flame, so if anyone wants to argue about the points - PM me, instead of flaming the thread. This is just an example, and very "light" (tip of an iceberg) type of an example at that.
