Restricted to only one subsim, which to choose?

Admittedly the graphics are very dated now but the whole mods and the detail is still on par with games from today.

It has been a while since I played (which could be remedied by simply pulling my IBM PS/1 out of storage)... BUT appearently when you get older, you also get (more?) lazy.

I would say Aces of the Deep.
But since that doesn't work on Windows 10 ,or more specifically anything but 256 color/8bit display settings, I also don't have Windows 10...

I would say SSN-21 Seawolf.
But since that needs dosbox...

I would say SH3/4 (since it it functionally the same game engine).
But since that isn't technically "one game", and modding it is almost as involved as programming my own game...

I would say... I need to just go ahead and program my own game.
But since I don't have time for that...

Then I would say Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.
But since that's not a sub sim...

What was the question again?

I found the old DW demo v1.3 and installed it. Got the program to run on Windows 10 thanks to the Komat wrapper.

Played through the one and only sub mission...

Yeah, DW is not for me for several reasons none of which would be of particular interest to anyone.

Thx for the suggestion though. Will have to wait and see what the future brings...
