Where can I get SH3 ?

[CaptSmith]

Just now,I watched the movie Crimson Tide,which is a movie that takes place on a submarine.And I must say,the experience on a submarine looks very thrilling.So I wanna go out and get SH3.One problem though,I cant confirm that near by stores have it.And I dont want to go out in this VERY cold weather we are having now.The stores I have near me are is a Gamestop,Circuit City,Best Buy,and Radio Shack.Radio Shack is the cloest to me.Could I buy Sh3 from the store ?

Why don't look on their website or ring your local shop?

Well if you can't find a local store, you can always purchase it online.

I just went to the subsim store and it takes you right here:

Remember: SH3 is set on the German side in WW2. If you want modern american subs, why not consider purchasing Dangerous Waters? But its very simulation focused and wont be as much action as the movie was.

[CaptSmith]

Im well aware SH3 is the German side.I said its thrilling on a submarine.Doesnt matter which nation its in.Also on the websites of the stores,it doesnt say whether they have it in stock AT the store.

Pls notice that Crimson Tide is about a modern submarine (Ohio class + Akula class)
If you really wanta modern sub simulation, try DANGEROUS WATERS. However, the game is EXTREMELY TECHNICAL (meaning that it is EXTREMELY REALISTIC in the senors) You may not be able to play it unless you have got some basic knowledge about the sub and its senors(like sonar, radar)

I cannot manage the boat in Dangerous waters and cannot find the enemy. So I decided to give up

SH3 is a WWII U-boat simulation. It is less technical and the realism is based on YOUR settings. For me, its better since the hardest job is only

1) Finding enemy

2) Manual Target motion analysis and TDC

If you want to find a copy of SH3, you can

a) Go to amazon / other online store and purchase one (if you have a account) :up:
b) Go to local store and grab one (in case you don't have a account for amazon) :up:

Its illegal, and just mentioning it is bad-bad, peterloo. You shouldnt even have that as an alternative.

If you're really desperate to get it fast just ring yout local stores to see if they have it in stock... if they're even open today.

Otherwise buy it online, amzon, ebay, any games store with a website. Then go hire Das Boot at yout local video rental while you wait. Now that's a real sub movie!

[Jmack]

if you want to know what shIII is about you watch DAS BOOT .
Das Boot is THE u-boat movie.

anyway i think ubisoft released SHIII as low price now its easy to find

JAS39 says he still has it but you'll need to register to be able to send him a PM.

[AVGWarhawk]

Whatever the case. Go find the game, you will love it.

I downloaded my copy off of direct2drive. Excellent cust service when I needed to d/l it again.

BTW what is the newest subsim out there?

Chuck

[AVGWarhawk]

The newest will be SH4, in about a week there will be a rebirth of SH3 when GWX mod is available for download:up:

[peterloo]

Oh, yeah. I forgot to remind you that we have tons of mods in this site
NYGM, GW, RUB, ... as well as GWX-the king of all mods

_Seth_ point out that there maybe some confusion in my third option so I decided to change it a little bit

Have anyone noticed that the Stock SHIII game is allowed only for people who are 7 years or older (here in Norway, atleast..)....? Nothing wrong with that, but its a war game; shouldnt it have, let us say, age 12 or maybe 15 years limit..? Is this why we dont have the ability to shoot people on the deck of the merchants with our AA guns? :hmm:
No intention to hijack this thread; it was justy a thought that popped into my mind..:up:

I believe the rating on age goes on after the game is reviewed. No blood or gore can go for the younger crowd. Here in the states if there is blood or gore the game will say, Mature, 14+ or something like that. If you keep the blood and gore down perhaps you can gain some more sales as well. Good question.

They do the same with movies. It is watched by a panel of "experts" and then rated G,PG, PG13, R, X, XXX, Hardcore oh my God I did not know women could do that type of rating system!!!
