In my humble opinion, SH4 was a great way to go for your purchase. I own Silent Hunter V. I played it a few times, and then have since never played it again. The game was not what I expected, but has potential. I will give it another go later on once the great modding community here at Subsim has had more time.
Silent Hunter 4 is a great game, with some absolutely stellar mods. If you tire of the Fleet Boats, then you can load up a German career. Myself, I have never even played as the Germans in SH4 because I am having so much fun with The awesome "mega-mods" that have been released for the Fleet Boat careers.
The graphics in SH4 are very good, and to be honest, (just as in SH3 with GWX) the game is so immersive that the graphics would not matter as much so it is a moot point.
