What does 1.5 mean to us playing SH3/GWX2?

MarkShot · 03-02-08, 11:50 AM

Well, the title says it all.

It seems that the SH4 community will all be migrated to 1.5 in a few weeks even if they are only playing the Pacific War. Once the two main mods (TM & RFB) go, there will be no choice for anyone, but to buy it.

So, what does 1.5 mean for those of us here?

Thanks.

Well......if a mod arrives that makes use of the U-Boats in the SH4 add-on in order to create an Atlantic campaign then i'd be very tempted to buy the add on. Until that time, i'll be sticking with SH3 as I have little interest in the Pacific War myself, UBoats or no UBoats.

That said, I'm glad those who are interested in the Pacific War have a quality sub sim to play.

Means nothing to most of us there is a 1.5 patch for SHIV
Sure it adds uboats to a style but in the IO
When and if there is a full atlantic campaign then you may see a large exodus
Not everyones PC can run SH4 and the limited appeal of the IO is easily played out
Especially as its more a " what if " campaign ATM

There's several places that you can buy it as a download on the web. Ubisoft may take it off theirs to try and push SH IV, though don't see the other sites doing the same. Unless Ubisoft does the unthinkable and merges the two games (in their completeness) into one all encompassing subsim the final product isn't likely to be very realistic or have the same depth.

I agree that as far as the submarine warfare in the Pacific I've got minimal interest, if the two could be merged it would open up some opportunities for some fun stuff. (Such as) Your IXD2 (no others have enough range) is loaded with jet engines to be delivered to Japan in Tokyo Bay (a real life secret mission). Trying to get into Pearl Harbor would be a fun challenge plus participating in some of the major naval battles.

It means nothing untill some team made a atlantic theather in SH4.
untill that day SH3 will remain for the atlantic wolves to enjoy.

Played it, Tested it, Dissected it, Broke It, Shelved it (until full KM campaign is added).

Back to GWX for me.

joea · 03-03-08, 12:02 PM

Ditto, can't run SH4 and even the addon doesn't have all the historical goodness and vessels, harbours, planes etc. that SH3/GWX has. When I upgrade I'll use SH4 to play some Pacific stuff but leave out the addon (though I might get it) and stick to GWX for my Battle of the Atlantic staple.

von hally · 03-03-08, 12:02 PM

just dont have the same enthusiasm for the pacific theatre of operations....dont know excactly why....maybe its knowing were the eventual losers out there just trying to make a diference...ive seen sh4 at discount price and never even gave it a second thought

Blacklight · 03-03-08, 12:03 PM

My computer simply can't handle SH IV and I'm not going to be able to afford a new one for the forseeable future so I'm staying with the Atlantic for now.

This computer can't even handle Shells of Fury which really surprised me (even though it fit the specs for the game. I have no clue why that game is such a processor/memory hog when SHIII has better graphics, more ships, better looking water, and nicer looking everything *shrug*).

STEED · 03-03-08, 12:34 PM

For what I been reading in the SH4 Forum the 1.5 patch is for the add on and to correct a few more problems with the stock SH4, here is the stinker. You need to buy the add on to clear up those non add on problems. Seems to me that Ubi is not playing ball with those of us who are not interested in the add on like me.

Wilcke · 03-03-08, 01:30 PM

Been playing SH4 since its release warts and all. I still run two installs of SH3, one with GWX 2.0, that is where I get my Atlantic U-boat fix.

Now having said that, who knows what the future may hold for an Atlantic Campaign in SH4. That is now possible but will it happen....I think so eventually.

The Fleet Boats are just awesome and their history makes the PTO a very exciting theater....my opinion of course.

Its a good time to be in Sub Simming!

Likewise.

Although I must admit, this is the closest I've come to really getting into playing SH4. It opens a lot of possibilities. And ofcourse, it looks stunning, especially with ROW.

But somehow... it just doesn't have that immersion. I'm enjoying myself, but I keep drifting off to the Atlantic of SH3.

And ofcourse the interface, but that has been said enough times.

GWX2.0 is a brilliant piece of work.

We all know what we want. Patience is virtue.

03-03-08, 06:59 PM

Well.........
Got SH4 after a search from California to Texas.
Played ONE patrol and started looking at the files.
:hmm:
Now I got the Expansion.
Looked at the Museum and guess what?
Yep.
Started looking at the files.

Need a better system to actually play.
(DAMN YOU UBI!!!)
But I'm already scheming!!!
