My first game was SH3 and I had a lot of fun with it so many years ago. I could not imagine how the patrol boats could still find me but even then, it was a very fun learning experience. This was also after I read The Hunt for Red October and other Tom Clancy books so it was so cool being able to play around in subs. Plus the external views were awesome!
Fast forward to today.... what is the best Silent Hunter game to play? I know there are a lot of mods out now and IIRC, last time I played, SH4+mods was better than SH5. Is that still the case now?
While I am looking for a good play experience, I don't think I want to do manual targeting calculations just yet.... but I want that option later on. I think the last time I played, what I could do was take bearings to the target, work out it's path, and zoom to a potential ambush point. I could take out one or two ships, then have to run.

Isn't SH4 just about German U-boats in the Pacific? I think I skipped SH4.

No, not being sarcastic. I remember SH4 being out but did not look very much into it. I think I got that idea more from what I've read and didn't really bother to check up on the game very much. So... you can command US submarines in SH4? I know there is SH4 and there is the SH4 Wolves of the Pacific expansion, but I just thought they were all about German submarines.
