That's very true. However, also don't feel put off by this. The great thing about Silent Hunter 3 (but I assume this applies to 4 and 5 too) is that you can make it as sim-like or arcade-like as you want it to be.

Want the hard-core sim feeling? Check all the realism options and don't touch the time compression. This will give you the patrols Gargamel is talking about. Just want a quick game? Uncheck some realism options and shorten the boring trip to you patrol zone by setting time compression to x1000. Or you can choose anything in between.

I can't tell you which game is the best. I only play sh3. But that's because with all the mods I like it so much I never felt the urge to get sh4 or sh5.

Same here. If you use lots of mods on top of one of the megamods, use JSGME to enable them. Trial and error to cope with mods soup. Ask in the forums if you experience any difficulties.

Hey, I played Silent Service too on a Commodore computer. The game had to be loaded from a tape.

Welcome

Scary to think there was a time when 'loading from tape' was state of the art. Sends chills down your spine...

SH3 for The Atlantic. (My reccomendation).

or

SH4 for The Pacific.

SH5 not reccomended.

I sued to do programming on a TI something or other (4a?). It was saved and loaded from a cassette tape. For SNG's I would listen to it on the stereo. Drove my parents insane.
