Is it worth it?
 

Hello guys! Some of you know me. If you don’t, then I can tell you I’m a hard core SH3 fan. Been playing since day one.

Been thinking about a change of pace. Is sh5 worth it? I’m a campaign guy, do I need internet?

And finally, should I do sh5, or 4?

Just for your info I have never played either. I have no clue about either.

Yes SH5 is worth it, but only modded with essential mods or the whole megamod The Wolfes of Steel (TWoS). You need a non-Steam version 1.2.0 to start. From there you can:

a) Go to the TWoS thread and follow instructions. (In the SH5 modding forum section)

b) Play the modded stock game:

First, you must patch the 1.2.0 game with TDW Generic Patcher (will patch some game files, also sh5.exe and correct 20-30 basic game-breaking bugs, and no, Steam version cannot be fully patched with that).

Second, at least install these mods:
NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_ByTheDarkWraith (not essential, but then never complain about bad realism, HUD and icons you don't like, also no station Teleport)
Torpedo Circle FIX (from TWoS, take the 2 files)
DeckGun Friendly Waves (from TWoS)
Shooting Range - Single mission (not essential but have 1 quick training mission at least)
No Damn Bubbles, No Damn Halo mod

Cheers,

SH5 has a limited number of U Boats to play, mods out there working and in progress for more types. SH4 is primarily US Fleet boats but also has U Boat expansion (Pacific) and mods available to play entire U Boat war. I have played all three Steam versions. SH5 requires Uplay, I play in offline mode. Why not do both!:yeah:

So you can play offline?

i asked this question in SH3 forum, Ill ask the pros here.

Can someone recommend a computer to run this game?

My laptop does not have the abulity to run a graphix card. So i need to upgrad. I am not looking to spend thousands of dollars. around $700. can someone help?

aslo, do I have to choose between nvidia or ATI as graphic cards options?

Either card will run it. I would say don't skimp on memory.

Great thanks

One more question. Is AMD Radeon a graphic card good for sh5?

The sh5 requirements state nvidia or ATI. It does not mention AMD.

I play with Ati Radeon HD 4650 1GB

And work perfectly
:salute:

Good to hear. Thanks. My questions are answered. Always thanks to my sub community!

AMD bought ATI long time ago...Your AMD card is actually ATI.

Awesome. Just bought it. Should be delivered soon. Thanks guys!
