OUTCOME: I like SH4. I will support a 1.3 patch, but since the only alternatives to SH4 are SH1 256 colour graphics or Pacific Aces with its limitations, I HONESTLY THINK my 50$ Deluxe version are a BARGAIN compared to the alternatives. Really, 50$ for a Pacific Warfare game with gorgeous graphics and minor bugs that modders can solve to a 90% is the best thing that happened to me since SH1.
Go modders GO!!  |
I agree with you on 90% of your post. Where I disagree is your Fact #3 where currently bugs don't kill game play at 100% realism. The radar bug is my major issue that I believe should be resolved. The only work around was implemented in FTT and that fix resorted to giving SJ radar at the start of the war and made it so that it could detect aircraft since 1.2 patch broke SD radar. If I remember correctly there was even another compromise with getting the radar to work when heading south between 270 and 90 degrees. If I'm not running FTT or any other mod with the fix, I don't like having to turn my boat completely around when I running trying to get ahead of a convoy that is heading south!
Don't get me wrong; I love the modding community here. They are just trying to do the best they can with what they can mod. I'm not to sure how I feel with the fact Ubi might just leave it up to the modders to fix. I paid Ubi and the developers for this game, and if they are leaving to the community to fix things I feel bad that the modders haven't seen a cent of my money. They are after all the ones busting their butt to make the game the best it can be.
