So, what game in the series should I play? Which one of the "Silent hunter" games are the best one? Ive heard that SH5 is buggy and almost unplayable.

I'm sure the children will be out in force in this thread. Try not to trip over the hyperbole and proclamations of doom.

I wouldn't say SH5 is unplayable. It's still in it's growing stages - many minor bugs, but nothing absolutely and completely game breaking. SH5 has been out for just under a month. People are still getting their hands around modding and working with it. Down the line it may be one of the greats, but right now it's rough around the edges. I'd go with SH3 and the GWX mod for it, if I were you. It's a polished and finished product after 5 years. It's got its flaws - no wolfpacks, fussy save game system - but it's the way to go at this point.
