Welcome back matey:salute:

I recommend you read a few of the reviews about SH5 and then make your own mind up. Try not to get caught up in the Pro/against arguments in the SH5 forums lol.

[Brag]

Welcome back, Von Halley. :salute: We'll be getting back into action about the same time. I'm wating for my no SF disk to arrive. :D

[timmy41]

if you like playing sh3 for the immersion and realism, dont get sh5.

[ryanglavin]

Von, we regs and dregs are still here. For SH5, read a review. We are waaay too opinionated here, to the point of it being unhealthy.

[RConch]

Best to leave the SH 5 crowd and game alone here.
They are in their own private hell.
Don't need any trolls coming over here again.:arrgh!:

[Alpha Von Burg]

Old and new sea dogs mate...
And I Guess welcomes are in order, so welcome back :salute:

[Laufen zum Ziel]

Glad to see you are back. There are some old dogs still around.

Welcome back to the pack,

As has already been said steer clear of SH5 if you prefer realism and immersion over eye candy,as SH5 appears to have too many shortcomings for me to want to buy it,not being able to operate in any other U-Boat other than the type VIIs is wrong (unless they are now scrapping that idea?),and the apparent role playing system for the captain and crew? seems odd to be honest :06:
It also seems that they have somewhat 'dumbed down' the overall game removing a lot of the technical detail and difficulty that was so appreciated in SH3 (with GWX3 of course) leaving us with a more 'arcade' feel to the game and not an experience where you actually FEEL like you are taking part in history,that is VERY bad! :down:

Dito und gut gesagt.
Aus historischen Auftauchen spielen SH fünf würden nie mit der Flottille Enigma Arbeit.
Sie haben keine Kontrolle SH fünf, steuert es Ihnen.

I almost forgot,the ultra Draconian security measures implemented on the disc requiring you to be online to play (if I remember correctly) is just criminal and outrageous! this must be stopped,as not everyone has access to an internet connection (I do on my laptop,but not on my main gaming PC) never mind a broadband connection! why are companies resorting to these oppressive measures?! :down::down:

At least when SH3 was released they got it right then,and delivered what fans WANTED! they seem to have lost the plot now,most companies seem to have! Just like there was a golden age for movies I believe there was a golden age for gaming,and it all seemed to go downhill sometime after 2005,or thereabouts.Remember games like Doom,and Syndicate,and the UBER legendary X-COM games?! god they were the days! *sniff*
I also love Sid Meir games,like Alpha Centauri,and the Civ series (III & IV mainly).

LONG LIVE SH3! MAY HE CONTINUE TO PROSPER!

[ryanglavin]

I'm going for 3 weeks, on another note, see you all soon

[Paul Riley]

And the Microprose simulation games like B17 flying fortress! oh the memories!!

[Seminole]

I'm newly back too. Been with the SHIV fleet until I had my fill.


I tried SHV for a week and the charm of novelty wore off pretty quick. it sure is a purty thang but not much depth unless major mods eventually work their magic.The connect the dots targeting system is so awful its almost worth the purchase just for the laughs.


It took me a day or two to get back my SHIII sealegs but it is as much of great sim as it always has been,

[Snestorm]

Welcome back.

Personal perspective on SH5.
Keep your money in your pocket.
(That's what I did, and there are no regrets).

SH3 forever!

[divingbluefrog]

Welcome back!
During the six last months, a lot of amazing mods surfaced, and you could have some really good surprises : a brand new complete interior 3D model, the looooong expected Merchant Fleet and so on....
SH3 for ever!
