Tks for clearing that up. Was wondering who the "interested parties" were :)

Found myself voting automatically... possibly from the sheer relief of seeing a poll that would:-

1) Give the setter an unambiguous answer to their question

2) Be incapable of misinterpretation by anyone viewing the results.

A marked contrast to the " Did SF totally destroy your computer or not" poll currently featuring on this page.

Pretty sure results will show that we still want mods. Still plenty of stuff to do, I think. :up:

LOLOLOL :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I totally agree. We definately need a break from all the SF threads. I dunno about you guys, but simple polls like this one seem to be more fun.

And like Cheapskate says, the answers speak for themselves.

Yes, I still play but I find myself playing more IL-2 Sturmovik+Forgotten Battles & Pacific Fighters. There are some excellent 3rd party historical campaigns out there.
:D

I guess you could say I play, but I haven't been on patrol in campaign mode since this past summer. I've spent all my time modding in new ships for the game.

In many ways, modding for a game can be much more fun then actually playing the game (I know because that is what I did with flight models for RB3D). :yep: :yep: :yep:

I kinda burned out on the subject of submarines about six months ago. Only recently started dabbling in SH3 again. Glad to see the RUB mod took away one of my bigger pet peeves: The Rackup Easy Renown Lone Merchant. I especially hated seeing them so late in the war.

As soon as we fix a few more things...

I will sail until my eyes bleed

:sunny: :sunny: :sunny:

Right Marhkimov?

Yep!
We'll sail off into the sunset.... :sunny:

:lol:

No, not right now. I've been off it for two or so weeks (shamefully enough, but I really can't play it right now). And before that, there was another month or so that I was too busy to play it.

I will be back to it soon, I hope. It's a shame because I'm supposed to be helping with modding/mod testing :dead:

This is why i will occasinally do unrealistic things for FUN.

Theres two types of SH3.

- You can play SH3 the simulation.
- You can play SH3 the submarine game.


I'll do both. Occassionaly ill play for realsm, and then ill play it like an action game.

My latest antic was modding a type II do have a surface speed of 30 knots, crash speed faster then a C/41, and HP's to match an IXD2 and *tried* to run through the gibralter mission on the surface :rotfl:

I sort of forgot escorts can get up to 35 knots. Was intresting watching all those escorts chase my tail and creep up on me gunning the whole way, bullets wizzing about, shell splash's everywhere! Unrealisic as hell, but damn fun!


I think one thing that adds to the tedium of a campaign is its usually one of two thinigs.
-approach a single merchant and sink him
- approach a convoy and sink a couple

repeat and rinse.

But you know, every now and then, its damn satisfying to rake a trawler or fishing boat with gunfire! (AA guns or heavy flak) :arrgh!:

Planes too. This is one reason i wont install an improved airpower mod. yes, being able to shoot down planes is unrealistic, but is it fun? HELL YEAH! I will fight it out on the surface because of this.


By mixing the ratio realim vs fun gameplay, i manage to keep myself intrested and not bored.

of course i play it ... silent hunter 4 isnt out yet


whats that merchant fleet mod i see advertised up there ?

where can one get it ?

thanks

Wolves at War will prolong your game, i think the reason why SH3 is still on my drive is because of WAW. Every two weeks approx we are of on another patrol all contributing to the atlantic war. Your only allow certain mods though RUB, SH3Cmdr and Waw realism mods (i think graphic mods are ok). And play at 100% or officer help enabled. When we have our orders and we all set sail, its like we are actually off to sea :D

Haven't played in a few months. Been on the road a bit working on subs. Thinking of uninstalling it and doing a clean install with some mods etc. Kind of lost track of the mods I had put into it.

Constantly. I play strictly for simulation value, and only play campaigns. I finally was able to afford a copy of FS2004, but I find myself having to look for extra time to play it, as beautiful as it may be.

Even when I have SHIV, I'll still play SHIII. Until something comes along I find even more absorbing.

i voted "no".
 

I left a campaign with IX type, transatlantic missions. too much time needed.
maybe in a month or two I'll be back but at the moment I'm bored.

the game deserved best sim of the year award anyway. I've put many many hours of gaming in it.
thanks devs!, thanks sub community!
ciao
