So is Silent Hunter 5 playable now?

Hi,
I'm a long time fan of silent hunter and have played silent hunter 3 since I was about 16 (i'm now nearly 23). It's always a game I revisit every year or so because there's no other game quite like it.

And then there's silent hunter 5. I bought the game around when it came out, and I found it unplayable because of the severity of the bugs/glitches and gave up on it. I think we can agree it was taken out of the oven before it was ready. Ubisoft didn't really put much effort into fixing it and only released a few patches if I remember right. But I think the game is graphically amazing, and the idea of walking around your ship is really immersive.

So, to the actual question. Is there enough mods or unofficial updates that exist that make silent hunter 5 playable and a game that could be as good as SH3? I also played SH4 a long time ago and can hardly remember it (non-uboat sub sim didn't interest me at the time) what's the state of that game?
