It is Fleet Command and it is available on Steam.I had mixed results getting it to work,ymmv.
As for the SH series,I really like V as long as it's modded.It looks the best but IV is close.I think I prefer IV purely to get away from German subs.
Not played any in a while now but have IV and V installed for when I get the 'urge' again.

Well (and I really can't understand why they never went back down that route) sh2 and destroyer command were compatible and I loved and spent many hours playing pvp. I loved the destroyers and really enjoyed playing them.
Sh3 with grey wolves turned into something really nice. Still had a few niggly bits. Like enemy destroyers magically following you even though you had evaded them. But was a good improvement.
Sh4 had that copyright protection removed iirc. But I haven't played it.
I haven't played sh5 either as I can't be bothered with ubishafts persistent methodology of lying or misrepresentation towards their customers. I learned my lesson and stopped at sh3.
Its a shame, I love the genre, the tactics and then protracted battles of cat and mouse when engaged.
So for me sh3 was the best but was the furthest iteration of the franchise I explored. However the coop play of sh2 with destroyer command was never replicated and that was a fantastic experience.

I'm thinking about re-installing one of them, but not remembering which one I thought was the best... actually I think I bought 5 and it never would work, 1 through 3 I played, loved one of them... never bought 4... so which one was the best?
and was their only one destroyer command or something like that, the counter part to the SH game?
and finally, I THINK I loved the Janes naval sim, but can't remember it's name or know if it can be bought and downloaded online... fleet command maybe? Fleet Command actually is a strategy game. Janes688i Hunter/Killer, Sub Command and Dangerous Waters are simulations:)

IMO Silent Hunter 3 is the best of the series. Less "gamey" than SH 5 and IMO more interesting than SH 4 due to the nature of the Battle of the Atlantic.

4 with a couple mods for historical accuracy and physics, but I'm biased in that I don't enjoy fighting against the allies as much as sinking Japanese shipping.

Well, there's the ATO expansion, with the fantastic mod "Operation Monsun". Best experience I had so far, but I just tested SH5 with Open Horizons for a little while...

For me the best is without any doubt SH4!
I have to agree. Besides, since it's the only one you don't own…lets make it that one! lol All kidding aside…I have SH2, SH3 and SH4 with the U-boat add-on…but not SH5 so I can't comment on that one. I really enjoy being in the pacific for a change of scenery. There are a ton of mods that make it better as well. I haven't loaded it up in awhile…looks like I should do a re-install.

My first and only submarine game i really enjoyed SH2 - I was much younger then but never really had a desire to go back and do it again

SH2 was fun, though I probably played more Pacific Aces (SH2 mod).
I'll vote for SH4. With TMO and Operation Monsun I've got it covered. I like RFB too, in large part because of the uncertain sinking mechanics. But overall I like TMO better.
I loved SH3, but like SH4 these days.
If mods didn't exist though, I'd probably still be playing SH3.
No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!
