I'm not real sure how it works with Steam so maybe someone will correct me if I'm wrong about any of this.

If you're going to get seriously into SH4 then you will eventually wind up with one of the supermods. You'll want to check out Trigger Maru (TMO) and Real Fleet Boat (RFB) to see which one you prefer. You also may or may not want to add Run Silent Run Deep Campaign (RSRDC) with your supermod so look into that as well. Other than these, there are many other mods that might appeal to you. Some mods deal with the periscope view and some deal with the ship physics, etc.

Of course, the first thing you'll need is Jones Software Generic Mod Enabler (JSGME). Most, if not all, of the mods are designed to work with JSGME. It's also a very useful program for anyone who likes to use mods with their preferred games.

If you decide you prefer the U-Boats and get into SH3 then you'll have to check out the SH3 forums on this site. I know there are supermods for that but I'm in the Pacific Fleet so I don't know much about SH3. But you've definitely come to the right place. There are plenty of people on Subsim who will help you get up and running with whatever you decide.
