I picked up SH3 almost by accident when my friend was gonna throw it out. I'd never been interested in submarines really and was an aviation fan mostly. I started playing about 3 months ago and it's taken up a fair bit of my time I can tell you, in between scouring uboat.net and downloading mods to try out. I installed GWX after a week of playing stock and it changed it in so many ways, I'm not sure I know all of them yet. Pure brilliance!!

It takes a long time to get proficient but it's worth it when you cruise into port with a successful patrol under your belt. There are loads of mods that improve the game on top of GWX and I've even gone so far as to merge a few mods so that they work together, such is my keeness for this great game. The German slant is novel, and amongst all the WWII titles that have you fighting for the allies, SH3 makes a refreshing change, not to mention it's ability to make you realise that although they were the enemy, they weren't much different from anyone else risking their lives on the battlefield.

I've not played SH4, rather seen it in action at my friends, but from what I've read it was released in a bad state and fell short of SH3 in many ways. I would have bought it if GWX4 was going to be completed but with that out the window I'll be happy to stick with what I've got. SH5 is going to have to be brutally good, let's hope they learned by the mistakes of SH4 and indeed, the brilliance of GWX3.
