Default New to WWII subsims

So I used to play Janes 688(i), and then Sub Command and of course had to buy DW although I never played it. Always been modern subsims. Even tried the virtual fleets for awhile and had a lot of fun. Now I'm thinking of subsimming again but considering the WWII era sims. Any suggestions? Judging by the posts it looks like SHIII is still going strong.

If you want an awesome WWII experience get SHIII and install GWX 3. I also recommend SHIV with the UBM add-on so you can run TMO 1.7. With these two sims set up like that you'll be hunting merchies forever! It is also a great way to truly see the differences between the U-Boats and fleetboats.

Thanks for the welcome. Thats good to hear because I can get SHIII cheap. I would not have thought five years later it would still be going strong. My taste in games seems to be turning towards the WWII era whether it be flightsims FPS or subsmarine.

Are there any online communities that coop or head to head this sim?

Welcome aboard Kaleun Flynn. SH3 is a great game and most questions can be answered here on subsim.

I also used to play 688(i), until I lent to a friend who never returned it.
