All the SH series have a great feel for being on the deck. Interiors are best in SH5, though there is a great SH3 mod that lets you walk around the sub interior.

Stable - I loaded up SH5 in March 2015 but the crashes removed my enthusiasm.

The newest supermod, The Wolves of Steel, not only adds a great deal to the game but has been reported to be quite stable.

Realistic navigation - To NOT see where my sub is on a map is great. A big part of the fun is tracking where I am based on my course, speed, the currents and time. Having a magic location icon on the map is not good.

There have been real navigation mods for SH3, but SH5 is probably the best for that.

Missions- Atlantic. Like having a large theater to operate in and being able to save the game to return a play later. I'm not fixed on historical accuracy but enjoy the rarity of a sighting rather than a very target rich environment. A campaign would be nice.

The best overall campaign to my mind is still SH3, but SH5 has had great improvements. Operation Monsun allows for a full Atlantic campaign in SH4 as well.

Can someone please move this thread if it should be posted in a different location to get more exposure. Thanks.

It's fine where it is. The only problem with this kind of question is that different forums will get you different answers, with members of each telling you why their favorite is the best, though that has calmed down a lot since the days when everybody was at everybody else's throats.
For me it's still SH3, but it sounds like SH5 is the one you want. Or, as was suggested, you can try them all and decide which one you like the best.
