New guy here, a little help please

[TransAm]

hi guys,
Im not a total new guy, as i used to play SH2 but i was never any good at it (i used to sink the odd liberty ship but thats about it). so basically Im a little 'out of the loop' so to speak.

i was just wondering about a couple of things;

-if there is still a following for SH3 or has everyone moved to SH4?

-is there still a reasonable multiplayer facility in SH3?

-other than playing the part of a US sub whats the difference between SH3 and SH4?

like i said im a little out of the loop so i appreciate your understanding

many thanks
Adam

SH3 still has a massive following
In fact its grown since the release of SH4

Cant tell you the differences between 3 and 4 as only had one patrol in SH4

Atlantic is the place for me

PPl still play multiplayer
There are often ppl on the Ubi server when I look

hi guys,

Check the forum numbers on this one, there are still many, many playing SH3 :yep: Some are playing both SH3 and SH4 ( including me ), some folks just SH4 and so on.... Two great sims, two great theatres.

-is there still a reasonable multiplayer facility in SH3?

That one I could not answer, I don't MP.

-other than playing the part of a US sub whats the difference between SH3 and SH4?

The two are different games\theatres, different experiences. In the Pacific you are travelling over larger expanses, patroling ( multiple objectives ) more specific regions, in the Atlantic things are a bit more wide open. Your best bet is to check out some of the threads here, do a bit more research.

By the way if you do plan to play SH4 in the future it is a bit of a computer hog
( the game looks awsome by the way, check out the LBO Mod on the SUBSIM Front Page :yep: ), looking at your specs, the game would crawl at best, 1gig of ram reccommended, 2gig is ideal.

I played SH3 back when it was released, never survived the war though.

Pre-Ordered SHIV.



I'm still trying to survive the war. Think I might do it this time.

SHIV requires a megamachine to run. SHIII runs on must computers, and does it very well.
GWX is great and will hold your attention.
I don't play SHIV as both my computers are not strong enough.
