Well I have just about decided to take the literal dive into subsimming, I have recently being doing a lot of research into what would be the best fit for me and I will elaborate on that momentarily.

I may be new to the sub genre but I am no noob when it comes to sims, over the past couple years I have gone from a fairly general gamer to slightly obsessive over flight sims. My main calling is the F-16 in Falcon BMS and I fly over at the 1st VFW(not as much as I would like lately, damn studies), I also fly aircraft in the DCS world.

On to what I am looking for subsimming. After doing some research it seems that a modded version of silent hunter 4 is going to be the way to go for my introduction. I am looking for the most realistic experience in the operations of the boat, the weather, and all the other things that I will learn about that I currently have no clue of. Mods that I am currently looking at aiming at realism in the sim are things like real fleet boat and run silent run deep, but I would also greatly appreciate any mods that would enhance the realism.

I am also curious as to where the best place to buy SH4 would be. I have read that buying from steam can sometimes result in some issues? I know there are also U-boat missions available which I may in time get to but first I want to focus on the main sim with mods like RFB and RSRD in mind.

So why flight and subsims you ask? My favorite movies from my childhood include Top Gun and The Hunt for Red October... I guess that has bled off to my interests nowadays.

ps I also love kerbal space program!

Thanks guys, I also plan on eventually getting into some other flight sims like FSX or xplane 10, but one thing at a time. Any info on whether or not steam is the place to go to pick up silent hunter 4 given the mods I have in mind?
