Hey Guys, Just looking for a little advice please

Hi Guys,

So for a while now i have wanted to give Silent Hunter a go but never bought it, as well it looks kinda hard to play. Today i saw SH5 on Amazon for a great price and thought why not.
After doing some research on SH5 i found out the game got a few bad reviews and this is also where i saw people mentioning this site and all the great mods that have made SH5 a much better game.

OK so i have never played a Silent Hunter game before but have played and still play plenty of games today. I like to play games like Total War and Eve online so i am hoping i will pick up how to play SH5 quick enough.

Just wanted to ask two things if possible guys?

1, Any advice for a new player on playing Silent Hunter?
2, This is the most important one, what Mods would you recommend to a new player?. There just seems so many i really don't know where to start.

Well Thanks to anyone who reply's
