That's true, but only a little outdated (1.44 vs 1.45). There is actually no massive differences between them; there really haven't been any fundamental changes to the core of RUb since 1.43.

RUb doesn't remove - there's many addons, ranging from sounds to graphics to new ships that come with it, but unlike IUb, it is limited to include only essential mods so that the file size doesn't go out of proportion (just compare the downloads!)

Yes, RUb does have a more staunch focus on realism as opposed to more features; my personal view is that RUb is also somewhat better-tested - though neither RUb nor IUb are perfect.

Also, the fact that RUb is "less playable" is a myth - especially once you install SHIII commander to go along with it. The most 'controversial' features of RUb such as fatigue, gun reloads and water density are easily-adjusted with that program. Another benefit of RUb is that SHIII commander is made with that configuration in mind.

I think it all depends on what you're really looking for. Both are a great improvement over original SHIII, either way.

Personally, I don't use either, and because of that I strongly suggest that you DO use one of them - because it's a pain trying to keep all those mods together :rotfl:
