Hi All,

This is my first foray into the world of sub sims and am looking for some advice on how to best spend my hard earned cash. A friend of mine picked up a copy of Silent Hunter 5 and this has spurred my interest. After reading quite a lot of info online about this game- its bugs, the DRM and so on, I'm not sure this version of the game will be best for me- I live in an area where internet connections are dodgy at best, and the fact that I have to be online to even play the single player campaign is frankly beyond belief- and ultimately excludes me from being able to play SH5. I have read many positive comments about Silent Hunter 3 in particular.
My question is, which version do you old seadogs recommend? I see also several expansion packs for some of the older versions, some clarification of what's what here would also help me.
Thanks in advance!
