Sh3 For Life!

Never underestimate the power of the bargain bin.
I loved SH1, but could never bring myself to pay $35 or more for a sim in the wrong ocean. I had been watching for SH4, but just don't have the hardware for it. When SHIII got below $20 on D2D that made it a much more attractive target.

I recently saw SH3 in a bargain bin for $9.99Cdn :yep:

When you upgrade your rig in the future be sure to get SH4. It is a great game, and with the add on now here and already being modded, in the not so distant future it will have something to offer to both the Pacific Captain and Atlantic Kaleun.

I was given a $25 dollar gift certificate for Christmas 2006 & in January '07 I saw SH3 on sale downtown for $19.99. So it ended up costing me about 5 bucks (bus fare over there and back). For $5 you can't lose :D & with all the excellent mods that have been released the game gets better all the time.
I don't think that I'll be getting SH4 though as the Pacific theatre doesn't hold any interest for me, even with the add-on.

I like SH3 GWX because it is the perfect distraction.
Engaging and thought provoking.

TV offers nothing: The one scripted show I liked was cancelled (Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip), and the History Channel has disintegrated into one nonsense show after another. (In case you haven't heard the "facts": The Sherman tank is the greatest tank ever produced, all German forces are "fanatical" or "maniacal", all German officers are heel clicking marionettes, no other nation did any serious fighting other than the United States - who won the war singlehandedly, and U-boats "cruelly" stalk innocent merchants while Allied bombers "brave the skies" bombing "Nazi industry". Bah!)


SH3 is the perfect compliment to a good book. Cruise around at 128 / 512 while reading at the desk with the game headphones on... just keep an eye out from time to time for convoys, task forces, and listening for the dreaded "aircraft spotted!".

Once targets have been found the books away and it's down to business planning and executing the attack!

Perfect downtime.

Never say never......you just never know what the future holds ;)

Its the mods. Its a 3 year old game but the work people put into SH3 Commander, GWX, SteelSharks, POTD really add to the depth and variety. Each Mods has its own thing it does really well. GWX adds detail and religiously follows all the operations of WWII. POTD gives you large convoys with a wide variety of ships, SH3 Commander allows you to add more mods through JSGME and customize further. Otherwise this game would have staled like any other game you beat.

*shifty eyes*

Just got into first ever sub/sea game a few weeks ago: SH3+ various super and smaller mods.

^^ I bugged him into getting it, though I am completely new as well.
:know:

I used to watch quite a bit of TV and read a lot. Once computer sims got good I discovered that they offer something that neither books or TV can - interactivity. With books and TV you just get whatever the writer wants to give you. With computer games I get to have an impact on the outcome. That's the deal-maker for me.

As soon as I have to upgrade my box I'll be trying SH4. This little puddle between Europe and America is just no place for a submarine skipper.:ping:

Welcome to SUBSIM :up: Kravixon & Wartzay

I prefer SH3 due to atlantic, and lower performance requirements. SH3 runs very well on Ati X1400 on a laptop, but SH4 very poorly. Also SH3 has better user interface, although lacks in graphic/damage detail.

Many have seen just how far SH3 has gone in 3 years......I can only imagine how far SH4 will go in a similar time span.

The future for subsimmers is looking bright http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif

That's my opinion :sunny:
BTW: I'm 38.

This is how i got into silent hunter. Everytime i went to Best buy, or gamestop, i always saw copies of Silent hunter 4 ...EVERYTIME, it got to the pont where i sometimes picked up a copy and read the box, and thought, i have seen this game everytime and it looks somewhat interesting, might was well try it out...i got SH4, the graphics made it seem as if it were a slide show...bought SH3, and have been hooked since. :rock:

FYI:
The new sound pack[s] MODS have me very interested of giving this mod/game a new life in playing with it.

Of course, GWX 2.0 based only.

Hello all,

I only played SH3 a few times when SH4 came out,so I put SH3 away and focused on 4,but after visiting the SH3 forums,and seeing it busy,I decided to give it a go,with GWX and OLCE and a bunch of other odds and end mods,it is hard to beat.I cannot get enough of SH3.
With all the new mods coming out all the time,there is something new to keep your attention for the game..:up:

Then your in for a real treat when GWX2.1 is released http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/9...humbsuprw5.gif

I didn't get the game initially because of the stupid anti-piracy software that wouldn't install if you had DVD-burning software on your machine. :roll: I don't like being told what software I can or can't have on my rig. But, I recently saw the game in a Blockbuster bargain bin for $9.99 Canadian and figured it was worth a try. No problems with my current DVD-burning software, only dreaded save-game crashes! :damn:

Das Boot, Down Periscope, and U-571 has been on TV abit lately where im at....maybe that has influenced some people. :hmm:
