Still the best WWII sub sim

Silent Hunter 3 still has the most immersion and atmosphere of any WWII sub sim for my money.

Last night, I encountered a large convoy in dreadful weather conditions.....huge waves, high winds and very heavy rain. I spent several hours attempting to avoid detection and yet position myself for a decent shot at an ammunition carrier.

Doing this was incredibly hard. Eventually, I fired my torps and went deep to slowly escape. I heard the torpedoes impacting as they hit their target, and then the pinging started.

The attack and escape took just over two hours.

The 1.5 add on to SH4 never offered the same level of immersion, and from what I've seen of SH5, neither does that game.....yet.

Silent Hunter 3 (GWX3 Gold and SH3 Commander) rocks.
