Cold Waters, Wolfpack, Silent Hunter III, Silent Hunter IV what to pick?

Welcome to Subsim.

I hope you enjoy your time here.

SH3 with GWX 3.0 or other add on's help to make SH3 as viable as it is, many years after it's initial introduction.

SH4 not only has the U.S forces against the Japanese but the gold version also includes U-boat missions in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. SH5 with add on's and the glitches repaired, is a good simulation as well.

There are others like cold waters as well. The good news is that you don't have to choose one over the other. Try them out and see which you like better or add them all.

Have fun and enjoy your simulations.

There's not much more I can add. All of these older games are so cheap these days that there's not much reason not to try several and see which one appeals to you the most. There is such a rich history here, not only of the boats but of the games themselves. Every game has been seasoned with a choice of supermods, which allow you to just have one big add-on that fixes most of the problems, plus myriad smaller mods that allow you to do almost anything you can imagine.

Someone else already said it, but it's true. The thing you need most is patience.

Welcome aboard and best of luck.
