I said on these boards back when SHIII was announced, "All I really need is AOD 2, the original with modern graphics". That said, I thought SHI's 'start in any month of the war' was better, though other things were worse.
There is no way I would go back to AOD now. Even though I too could live without the 3-D settings and cartoon crew, I've grown used to them now, and even kind of like them, especially when leaving and entering port. Unlike some, I still enter and exit my base in real time-I love looking at all the ships. All the ships? Well, I love SHIII with the harbor and Commander mods-they make the game for me.
Stock SHIII I might trade in for something newer, but with the amazing mods and the way the game allows us to use them, an AOD 2 would have to be mighty slick for me to give up SHIII as I play it now.
