Am I a Traitor to the Fatherland?...
 
I can't help it. There are some really nice gramophone records available now, of good quality, that my Commander will let me use from time to time, and certainly they give a good sampling from both sides of the Ditch. (There are some pretty ordinary ones too, contemporary attempts to produce historic tunes on modern 'instruments'.)

But, I can't help wondering. Will I get in real trouble from the High Command if someone hears me wind up, 'Brittania Rules the Waves' as I'm leaving dockside? Will they appreciate my sense of grim, ironic humour. I've seen some of those SA and SS guys, and frankly, I don't think they've ever cracked a smile! Still, I can explain that I use them to fool English Pig-dog types in low visibility, when challenged while sneaking around places like Dover. (Whenever I feel like taking out a Southhampton class.) Think they'd buy it?

Speaking of Dover, I can now hear the White Cliffs of, but I can't see them. My young XO (my son), keeps asking, "Where are these white cliffs she keeps singing about?" Any terrain mods out there that I should know about, or am I just looking in the wrong place on the coast?

They can't hear your gramophone, no matter how loud you crank it up. The tinny little speakers aren't modern boomboxes. On the other hand if there are any loyal party members buried in your crew they might turn you in.

And there's always the chance that Bernard will open his mouth...:dead:

Not that I'm aware of....all the land masses are pretty similar apart from trees and slight texture changes.

That's what I thought - ah well, to sleep, perchance, to dream.....

I'll just tell my overly inquisitive XO that White Cliff is a species of tree. That'll shut him up.

Terrain in SH3 is pretty disgusting I will admit, but on the issue of the White Cliffs, I don't think I'd want a good look at them too liable to end up permanently on the bottom not long from then :har:

Gryffon300 01-26-11 10:50 PM

Now, now. No Pommie bashing in this 'ere bar. We's polite , we's is!

Yep, SH3 and GWX do make the best WW2 sub sim EVER.. SH4 isn't bad and is a real close second.. SH5 with better eye candy might sooth some who want a game for looks only, a short war, only ONE type sub, and the online only.. not EVER going to catch up to SH3, by the time they would fix SH5 and make good mods for it to fix it...

How many new subs are out for Sh3 and SH4? interior and exterior? not many.. it would take 15 years to get SH5 up to par..having more or all type subs, a whole war, being able to play offline and so forth. for a little better eye candy than 3 and 4..
Heck by that time SH8 would be out, no one will care for SH5.. people will still play SH3 and mods for realism.. play the newest for looks.

SH5 will die off in short time.

SH5 will surpass both SH3/4 in time. We're slowly chipping away at it. You obviously haven't tried SH5 modded yet I see :yep:

SH3+GWX3.0+SH3 Commander is the most immersive and grittier u-boat sim ever made. However, I hope that your combi mega-mod (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=176123) will be proved a big step in the right direction matey.:yep:
Cheers

While I currently agree with the concept of this thread, I still have high hopes that the model-import problems and the lack of other u-boat types will eventually be solved. SH5 still has all the potential to be the best subsim ever.

I wholeheartedly agree and have posted as such myself but the time this will take is the one factor none of us are as yet sure about.

Besides....the model-import and lack of other U-boat types are currently being worked on by a few people as far as I'm aware.

Looking forward to the next 'breakthrough' http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif
