New to sub sims, some advice

Hi All,

This is my first foray into the world of sub sims and am looking for some advice on how to best spend my hard earned cash. A friend of mine picked up a copy of Silent Hunter 5 and this has spurred my interest. After reading quite a lot of info online about this game- its bugs, the DRM and so on, I'm not sure this version of the game will be best for me- I live in an area where internet connections are dodgy at best, and the fact that I have to be online to even play the single player campaign is frankly beyond belief- and ultimately excludes me from being able to play SH5. I have read many positive comments about Silent Hunter 3 in particular.
My question is, which version do you old seadogs recommend? I see also several expansion packs for some of the older versions, some clarification of what's what here would also help me.
Thanks in advance!
