The only easy way I know to kick off a flaming match on SubSim is to ask people to compare SH3 and SH5. It's a touchy subject, especially as it is mostly a matter of personal opinion. Ask the same question here and on the SH3 forum, and you will get two very contradictory and equally impassioned sets of responses.

Two things that can be said without (too much) controversy are that the SH5 graphics are vastly better and that SH5 needs extensive modding to be comparable in stability to SH3.

Beyond those points, the games can both be had for about $10 max. Often, you can get them for half that. So there is no great investment in trying them both and seeing which you like. That is the best way to answer your question.

No, AFAIK, the GWX team had nothing to do with SH5.
