Restricted to only one subsim, which to choose?

I am somewhat impatient. I don't mind learning how to best do things but I do get discouraged if I can't seem to make steady progress towards improvement. I appreciate decent graphics, good story lines/scenarios, and I really love guided torpedoes. I don't necessarily have to man every work station all the time and I do not particularly like having to drill down to the minutest detail to produce a favorable result although I accept some tasks on a sub do require a degree of finesse.

Of all the subsims currently available, that will run on Windows 10 with as few modifications as possible, that do not require and advanced degree in seamanship to enjoy, which would you pick if you could pick just one?

Thanks.

Everyone has their favorites so it's really hard to choose. With the mods available, the Silent Hunter franchise is excellent. Silent Hunter 3 with the GWX overlay or Living Silent Hunter or others is excellent. With the Jones generic mod enabler, you can move mods in and out of the game play at will.

Rockin Rockins is a fan of Silent Hunter 4 with the Fall of the Rising Sun overlay.

TheBerbster ( Peter ) tells me Silent Hunter 5 is great after the bugs are worked out and modified. Peter knows these games inside and out and is always ready to help people with their simulations.


Luckily, you don't have to choose. You can try them all out and see if any of these are to your liking. Enjoy trying out your simulations and Sink em' All.
