This thread is a great overview of the various titles. It should be stickied to one of the beginner guides. Sailor Steve's explanation and the amplifying remarks by THEBERBSTER in particular were helpful, but the whole thread contains points that are helpful to anyone who is just getting started.

I've been playing vanilla SH4 v1.4 for quite awhile, having drifted into the SH-series from the Sonalyst games. I just recently acquired SH3, the u-boat add-on for SH4(v1.5) and I bought SH5 Gold, which I'm still tampering with.

In brief, I'd say:

SH3: Great gameplay, dated graphics. But the gameplay is excellent., so I don't worry about the graphics.

SH4: If I could only have one, v1.5 would probably be it.

SH5: The best looking of the lot, but I'll know more when I get all my mods straightened out.

Thanks for the great tips from all you old veterans of the series!
