Help to new Silent Hunter player

Hi Subsim

I'm brand new to this forum and I hope I can ask you some questions about the Silent Hunter game series.

I played alot og Silent Service as a child, and I now I want to play the sub genre again :-)
Problem is that I really dont know what Silent Hunter game I want to play, and thats where I hope you can help me alittle :-)
I could not find a "beginner" forum, so I took the chace to make my post in this one.

I really like to play some sub games again, but I really dont know what game I should play... I see alot of reviews saying that SH3 is the best game but with outdated Graphic, and SH5 is more arcade and full of bugs, and SH4 is like SH3 just with better graphic and playing as a US boat... all this not making it easy for me to decide.

I was thinking if I told you guys what I like in a game you could maybe tell me what game is the closest to that?

I'm not a sub nerd, so I dont need a 100% sim where all is like 100% real life.

What i like:
1. A campaign...So some kind of progression in the game, on the crew and sub (xp, medals, skills, new wapons, upgrades, new subs and so on)

2. Easy to sail sub. I'm not a sub sim nerd who know everything about a sub and how it works :-)

3. Easy to use map.. As i remember it, you use ALOT of the time on the map in sub games, so I like it to show enemy contact, with the white tail so I can see what way they are sailing and so on, I dont want it to be me who has to find out what bearing and so on.

3. attacking, I like some help in targeting and using my topedos, I will never hit, if the game wants me to calculate the speed, range and so on on a enemy for the topedo to hit.

So I think I just want a game that are more arcadish than hardcore sim, or have options to make it a little more easy than most hardcore fans maybe wants.

Hope someone in here can t help me alittle with this, so I can go buy the best game for me :-)
