Hey, guys:
Just wanted to say hi to everyone and thanks for this great support. Through my years I have had Silent Hunter II, III and IV. To be honest none were as good as SHIII. As I can see, we all agree this was the best one. Somehow the Pacific chapter just did nothing for me even thou I am an American. However even with SH III I was just a casual player. I never fired up a campaign. Just a few quick missions and then I would put it away for a month or a year...
Now here we are with SH5. I was not prepared for what I saw on Youtube. But since the reviews were not great, I decided to fire up SH III again. I visited this site and got some mods and became sort of hooked on it. Althou I was sceptical about SH5 I changed my mind when I saw that folks were playing and enjoying the sim. I took the not so big plunge(Amazon $10
a week ago. I had nothing to lose. I have yet to mod the sim and I am already amazed at the beauty and detail of it. I started with the tutorial (fun) then moved on to the Campaign (more fun). I also tried a few Historical missions. They are a challenge! SH5 is the IMO best. Yes, there are some issues. However, I am sure the mods will transform SH 5 like they did SH III. It really is a case of slowly, slowly catchy monkey.
To all new user out there, please be patient and persevere with this sim. Always remember to back your stuff up too. Read a lot and follow the advice of the Sub Aces.
Ok, now I am off to read my butt off on how to mod this Sim.
Thanks to all the modders out there that make this fun game possible.
