I wouldn´t start with stock SH4.

The american side is just frustrating by spamming you with hundrets of planes and the german side is boring as hell as you can do patrols for a year without ever seeing anything then groups of one to five cargo ships.

OM with OMEGU is probably your best bet. Starting in early war with a Type IX so you don´t get send to british homewaters.

You will meet all types of stuff from single merchants over HUGE convoys to taskforces, so you can train your tactics.

Also it gets more difficult every year and it is boderline impossible to survive the whole war, which just makes for a better game then the american side, which i find to become more boring and easier as the war progresses.

All that said: TMO or RFB with RSRDC are excellent also, allthough you will want to slap the manufactors of the mark14 torpedo after playing some TMO.
