It depends on what you like. If you want the best-looking subsim ever made, like the idea of being able to go anywhere in the sub and talk to the crew a la The Sims, and don't mind sinking the same few merchant models over and over again, being limited to four different models of the Type VII and having a limited campaign that ends in 1943 then SH5 is the game for you.

If you want to have graphics that are very nearly as good as SH5's, be able to run any of the four major u-boat types and have an excellent war-spanning campaign and the ability to play in the Pacific as well, you need SH4 Gold, which comes fully patched and ready to play in either theater and has a great many mods ready to load.

Thanks for the tips guys - most appreciated!

I eventually went for SH4+UBM. Think I will give 5 a bit more time to iron out the kinks.

Thank you very much for the help - and I hope to be posting more on here once I get me fish in the water!
