Hi!
SH3 and SH4 are best played when using mods. For SH3 i reccomend using GWX 3.0 mod (significant expansion of warships, mercants and aircratf types than original SH3) and merchant mod (adds a LOT of mercantmen and fun
). I cannot play SH5 because of computer, but checking the opinion of others I won't cnange my SH3 GWX combo for nothing! (i.e. in SH 5 I hear you can only use type VIIc but in SH3 you can use all main types of U boats, and there is a type XXIII mod also!. and the gameplay in SH5 end at the beginning of 1943, but in GWX you can play in 1944 and 1945 - try being a u-boat ace in these conditions (or just surviving ...
))
I
do not want to badmouth SH5, it may be modded to be significantly better, but as you asked for opinion-here it is!
For SH4 I started using Trigger maru mod because the original game does not recapture the excellent interaction between the captain and the crew, i got so used to in SH3. Mod developer Ducimus really made a splendid work here. You get two modded us subs nahrwal and tench class, enemy AI is also significantly better, you even get enemy subs in the game. I only wish for a merchand expansion mod for SH4.
Hope it helps!
