This is my opinion after following the modding done with SH3/4/5 for the last 5 years daily. If i was still on the fence about buying SH5 because of certain requirements and personal preference, I would be sooo sooo jealous of what the SH5 modding community does and would probably hide out in the SH3 and 4 forums :arrgh!:

+1

And you helped a lot to make SH5 better. UHS was and still is one of the most important mod for SH5, combined with IRAI is like patch 1.3. :up:

I had a lot of fun making that mod! Thanks! :salute:

You shouldn't hate to tell anyone what you feel. I suspect that you really don't, but figures of speech out of respect for others' feelings are always welcome.

I feel the same way about SH4, especially since it already has many of the improvements that SH5 has, but is compatible with work that has been done on SH3. Of course SH5 has added even more, but still lacks what some of us desire.

I'm not on the fence at all. As soon as the DRM is completely gone they'll get my money. On the other hand I know I won't play it, at least not consistently, until I can have what I want, and certain annoyances, admittedly minor, are gone.

But why would I hide out somewhere else, and why would I be jealous? That's a pretty condescending thing to say, especially to people who support all subsims. Until SH5 can be made to do the things it should have done out of the box, there's nothing to be jealous of.

I wasn't being specific to anyone, sorry. I understand your point, but after all the beatings SH5 has taken here at subsim its nice to see where it stands after a year. Its quite impressive what the community has done and makes it my logical recommendation to any new subsimmer.

Sailor Steve 03-27-11 06:55 PM

And I agree. My reasons for being certain I won't enjoy it anytime soon aside, I think everyone without my compunctions should get it and at least find out for themselves if they like it or not.

I also still have high hopes that eventually it will truly surpass everything that's gone before, and have no argument with anyone who believes it already has. :sunny:

If you're looking for a U-Boat war simulation, SH3+GWX is the way to go. :woot:

Now if you're looking for a Type VII simulator, SH5 is the best choice! :salute: It beats SH3's Type VIIs.

Rilder 03-27-11 07:18 PM

Yeah I can't wait till we actually get some submarine choice in SH5... the VII is okay but I'd rather have a bit of freedom of choice. Back when I used to play SH3 I used to always use the IX, plus the ability to start out in that lil type II and work your way up was just fun.

edit:
When SH5 can:
- Have a fully rendered Type 9 AND render more crewman then vanilla.
- Have a full KM grid
- allow you to actually touch the damn bottom

When SH5 can do all that, let me know will ya?

When U_BOOT-HAHD is finished, you will play only SH3...:D

(I play GWX and SH4 TMO and RFB, both modded are great games).

Regards.
