New to the Seas

Hello!

I've never had much experience with anything naval related, being more of a ground war history gamer. I'm getting into the genre with Silent Hunter V, I played it for maybe an hour or two a long time ago but never learned much more than "sink ships, have fun!", so I'd like to learn more about actual strategy and tactics of U-Boats, and also general naval strategy for WW1 and WW2.

Welcome aboard

Here's a great site explaining many of the tactics used by U-boats:

In at the deep end with SH5 then! Don't forget SH3, though (still the favourite of many). Lots of gamers here of all persuasions...
