SH4 worth it?
 
Good evening all you happy submarine drivers. I have been snooping around on this forum for awhile but now i decided to actually register and post my first thread...cause i have a question to ask from you guys who know about these things soo much more than me.

I have been playing SH3 for couple of days and so far i like it very much. Now i am thinking about purchasing SH4 but certain sources tell me it is not worth it and that SH3 is so much better. Now i wan't to ask your opinions oh gurus of submarine simulators. I know SH4 was disapointment in it's original form but i am speaking about both games with addons installed. Is SH4 worth it with addons if i like SH3 or will i be happier with just concentrating on SH3?

Thank you in advance!

Depends on what you like really... SH4 is graphicly more beautiful but SH3/GWX has better game play and a better career IMO. It also depends on your preferences as to if you prefer US Fleet boats in the Pacific or German U-Boats in the Atlantic... I'd say give it try if you're interested.

Good luck and Welcome Aboard! :arrgh!:

SH4 worth it?
no

Out of the box it had it's issues, not unlike 3 for that matter. But patched and now modded it ( for both the PTO and ATO ) is an enjoyable sim in it's own right.

Do yourself a favor and check out some of the older and current threads in that forum as well, SH4.

@ Irish, you care to elaborate a little more, after all this is a new member. Thanks.

It's a Sub-Sim. Of course it's worth it!

See what it feels like to be on the winning side for a change!

They are both good sim & our modders make them better. I cut my sub teeth on SHIII so I prefer that. I also have SHIV which I play once in a while so not to bruis mu US Citizenship.

If you perfer uboats... stay with sh3...

If you want american fleet boats... try sh4.

my preference is for u-boats in the atlantic, however i've recently started playing sh4 because of all the sub films i've been watching recently, those 40's/50's films were absolutely cracking! and i'm now in need of a balao class sub to swim around in ;)
manual targeting with a Fleet boat is easy enough but firing a spread is murder.

I put SH4 on and then took it off, but then again i prefer the Atlantic and the odds against you game. If you like SH3 put on the GWX 3 it improves SH3 by at least a third more. Its a beautiful Mod.

Last but not least -- Welcome to our little home.

Thank you for all the nice replys.

I have gwx3 with SH3 already. I never even tried it without so i can't really say how it improves it cause i never saw the stock one. But i must say i like it so it must be good. :)

The reason i am asking about SH4 is that i am a poor student and don't have that much money to spend on games and i was thinking it's useless to buy it if i just play it couple of times before leaving it for SH3. It's not that pricey anymore i see but one gets lots of food with that money anyway.

Leave SH4 on the shelf.

In my opinion SH3 + GWX, or NYGM, or LSH3 or WAC is much more interesting because you're the 'underdog' :D

BTW, Welcome! Subsim.com is the right place to be. :yep:
