Silent Hunter III or IV

I think Steve has it on the money. SH4 is a far superior platform. As things stand, SH3 is a far superior game.

Without getting into bigger historical/moral issues (and setting aside the Op Monson SH4 mod), SH3 just sort of makes for a better game setting anyway in that in the U-boat you really are fighting for personal survival after a certain point. The US fleet boats in the Pacific are certainly in danger, but you are pretty much cast in the role of Anaconda versus the Japanese rabbit. In SH3 you really do get to a point where (if you're playing "realistically") you sort of don't expect to get back to port when you set out on patrols.
