Probably the single best recommendation for a catch-all supermod would be GWX. It gives the most complete balance between advanced gameplay and fun stuff to look at. If you want more get SH3 Commander, which does for your career what GWX does for the game. After that it's all candy. Try this thread if you want to get a taste of just what's available after that.

Also once I'm done with SHIII where do I go from there? SH5? (I actually have SH5 but I tried it for a couple of hours once and gave up completely mystified)

Why go anywhere? If you want a change, SH4 offers American fleet boats in the Pacific, or you can use Operation Monsun for a slightly different take on the u-boats. SH5 is much better with the mods that have been done, but it's still waiting on multiple u-boat types and merchant types, and some more fine tuning.

2) I need to post to reinstate my download privileges, so although I may be able to glean answers to (1) using the search function, as I'm being pointlessly forced to post I may as well make a thread of it. /annoyed

I'm sorry you're annoyed, but Subsim has 80,000 members now, and a whole lot of downloads every day. That bandwidth costs money, and all that is asked for is participation in the community. If you don't want to participate in the community, for a small donation you can have unlimited downloads.
