Thank you @blackswan40!
Update:
I used Aces Of The Deep for some weeks and enjoyed it. It really is a great subsim for its times, has a great atmosphere and I enjoyed a lot the video interviews with Uboat commanders provided in the online manual. The main limitation, in my view, is that its auto targeting makes it too easy to hit enemy ships, compared to RL.
Several weeks ago I installed SH3 modded with GWX, h.sie patch, and the GUI by Hitman. That is really a masterpiece of a sim! I understand why it's so much loved and still played by so many people. It can be frustrating to learn to hit enemy ships with manual targeting, but very rewarding when you have success. I've yet to improve a lot with practice. I didn't find it too easy at all as some people here were suggesting, on the other hand, I find it realistically hard in all aspects of hitting ships and avoiding escorts, if played with the options at max realism.
At the moment, I'm using a modern subsim, Sub Command, and enjoying it. Totally different but entertaining as well.
I think I'm gonna alternate between Sub Command and single missions in SH3. I have not the willingness to do a career path in SH3, because I tend to lose interest after I learn things, and in a career I would probably lose interest after a while, even if I recognize that it must provide incredible immersion for those who do it.
In the future, if my interest holds, I might try SH5 with mods and Dangerous Waters.
