Silent Hunter 5 - Honest Opinions?

[Paulie76]

I've been reading reviews, watching gameplay videos, looking at screenies and examining mods. My poor old computer probably couldn't take it. Though upgrades in Ram, video card, etc... have kept it in tip top shape, there's only so much upgrading you can do to a five year old beast, lol. But still I watch and think about SH5.

What I'm wondering is, based on what I've seen, what does SH5 offer me that would make it worth a whole new computer for me? What is there in the game that I don't already have with my modded SH3 (beyond graphics...thinking more in gameplay here)? To me, it looks like a glossed up version of what I've already got...so is it worth it?

Anyone have it? My questions aren't really answered with the screenies or videos I've seen since it's not really about graphics for me at all. But is the dynamic campaign that much better? Crew Management? etc...? Are the features of it worth the upgrade, or is there nothing new that I don't already have with my GWX, MaGUI, SH3Speech, etc...

Been wondering about this for a while. I was deathly afraid of reinstalling SH3 onto Windows 7 after reading some horror stories and I thought seriously of SH5 during that time. I'm very happy that my SH3 fears were put to rest and I'm happily cruising the GWX waters in search of convoys, but still the thought is niggling in my brain. So I ask for honest opinions. Is it worth it?
