In 1994 came Aces Of The Deep, arguably the first "real" subsim, since it introduced the random campaign. You started out in a Type II u-boat and could progress to better boats, or start a career later in the war. I still play it from time to time.
The original Silent Hunter, released in 1996, was a Pacific-based riff on Aces, with newer graphics and sound and a campaign that let you start in any month of the war.
Those two still have certain items that have been lost in later Silent Hunters, and are sorely missed, but SH3's combination of modability and graphics is pretty much unbeatable so far.

yeah I was reading about them and saw that like if you took on water and it got on your batteries youd kill your crew from the gas that formed and stuff. Now thats realism.
Funny thing my uncle was joking around with me one day and stated
"They need to make games more real, like if youre playing a playstation game and take a bullet to the head, the game should eject from the Playstation and snap, no restarts and youd have to start all over again!!"
Always makes me chuckle when I imagine a SNES shooting its cartridge out and blowing up in mid air
