Aces Of The Deep. Arguably the first real subsim, as though it came after Silent Service it was the first one to have a realistic campaign, with assigned patrol areas and career tracking. It also had realistic sonar evasion tactics (bottom-sitting, with a chance to get stuck there) and wolfpacks.
No, SH1 didn't have anything to do with the current series. It was better in some ways.
All that said, some of the feeling for me does indeed come from what I see and hear, so I play SH3 and SH4, complain about what's been lost but enjoy what I have.
