Welcome Ballacraine,

I had the same questions when I started with SH3-4, after having played SH2 many years ago.

IMHO: Both SH3 and SH4, if modded, are excellent. The conventional wisdom (I gleaned from subsim forums) is that SH3 provides better gameplay, and SH4 has better graphics. I think it's a small difference TBH.

The Purists seem to prefer SH3. I like both, and slightly prefer 4 because I like the Pacific theater (and I got started there in SH2).

I have not played SH5, so my opinion is useless there. I know SH5 is now well modded, and it definitely has the prettiest graphics - but also the worst (vanilla) gameplay of the series. IDH how well the mods have addressed that.
