I've read here that SH5 is very difficult compared to SH4 and figure that I can always get SH5 once more of the issues have been addressed, it looks like SH4 is "polished" and working really well.

Now I am trying to figure out what makes SH4 Gold the better choice.

Any and all responses welcome, I'm interested to hear what you folk have to say about all of it: SH4, SH$ gold and SH5.

Thank you, I'm off to clean the head...the scuppers got jammed and the place is a real disaster area

I'll be aft..!

Yup, only difference is the patch update to 1.5 and u-boat missions are already included and installed. Also for alot of the bigger mods you will need to have the 1.5 version of SH4 anyway. As for SH5, no I wouldn't say it's any harder then SH4, just takes some time to get used to it because of the different interface. As with all SH's player made mods/patches make the games playable and exceptional at what they do and SH5 is no different in that regard. Again only difference between SH5 and SH4 are the sheer amount of mods/patches one uses to get to that point.

Thankfully though modders have been putting mods into "packs" so it's just one install like Wolves from the Deep and Wolves of Steel. As long as you don't enable real navigation until you learn the ropes of the layout, you would be perfectly fine i think.

Oh and SH5 uses Uplay to launch SH5 and sync games with the server. Alot of people despise that, I however don't mind. It's actually made making my Multiple SH5 installs application alot easier! plus on a whole it's about as unobtrusive a DRM as I could imagine.
