If you could only play one career, which game

BH · 02-07-08, 01:52 PM

please avoid negative comments about either game or theater, both are excellent games. I chose only the most popular supermod of each game.

At this early stage, it's still a fifty fifty split :p

It came to me that this might not be the most objective way considering there are many that inhabit the sh3 board and never venture over here.

I liked sh3 and gwx a lot. I liked the character of the german uboats, so much so that I made a typeVII model. Before sh4 came out I didn't think I'd be interested in motoring around the Pacific sinking marus, but I've grown to love it and the US subs. I can't go back to the Atlantic now.

Playing SH3 makes me feel cold all the way down to the bones. I like warm weather.

I don't even know. If I could only eat one fruit, would I eat an apple or an orange? I don't know either

DavyJonesFootlocker · 02-07-08, 03:06 PM

After seeing the nice eye candy in SH4 and looking at SH3 well, SH3 collects dust now. So good that I have two seperate installs of SH4 with TM and RFB.

But I think the comparison is a bit unfair. It's like comparing PacMan with Crysis.

I love the way SH4 looks and love the manual targetting over SH3 manual targetting as I feel its more difficult....but I have to choose SH3 over SH4 because of the personal problem I still have with restarting a save game after the engines are destroyed.....I just can;t get over that...

kiwi_2005 · 02-07-08, 10:52 PM

Well thats a bloody hard one, SH3/GWX & OLC mod work well and im enjoying finally learning the manual targetting thanks to OLC. But SH4 & the mods TM/RSRD etc., is also awesome. I think if i had to go by the carreer i would have to pick SH4 cause of the Pacific campaign.

In order to answer this question and vote on the poll I'm conducting some serious research. I'm leaving Pearl Harbor for my first patrol in SH4 (SH4 1.4 no mods). I'm currently on my, about 35th day in Oct. 39, of SH3 GWX 2.0 patrol, 8 torps left and about 31,000 tons.

So, if I could have only one career...well, that's a tough one which will require further testing to answer; I'll get back to you on that. It's off to the North Atlantic to shadow a co...wait, maybe I need to enjoy the cruise from Pearl to Honshu...Hmmm.

I am and always have been a Pacific Theater enthusiast. SHIV is the first sub sim I've really gotten into since the original Silent Hunter back in 1997. U-Boats just don't do anything for me. I own SHII / SHIII, but I've not spent more than 5-6 hours in either. By now I have hundreds of hours in SHI, and plan on building up that number in SHIV.

John W. Hamm · 02-09-08, 09:20 AM

I voted SH4 but i play strictly RFB, I Played SH3 GWX forever and I loved it!! but the eye candy of SH4 is just too good, after the last GWX release came out I gave it a twist but I could only stomach it for about 15 minutes I just couldn't bare the graphics... ya know its funny to think... I used to comment to my wife(fience then) about how realistic the graphics looked in SH3 I just couldn't get over them... well guess how I feel about SH4 LOL. and not to mention I love the way the crew think for themselves (to a degree) in SH4 I don't have to tuck them into bed or wake them up for their shifts anymore that alone was something I wanted, it added a bit of realism for me. I realy do miss the atlantic and those U-boats though, and when the add on comes out I'm getting it straight away!!

claybirdd · 02-09-08, 10:02 AM

I simply love the Gato and Sargo, plus there probably wont be a GWX 3.0, while SH4 mods are still growing and compiling. Though Ducimus is semi retired.
