From Beer commercial to Gum commercial.

We should get some sort of check for this, eh?

you can not just say that sh5 can match this SH3.
you having to walk 2 km of submarine to reach the gun and then having to make another 2 km to tell the helmsman to turn left? if only these details I think we can rule the winner.

Have you by chance read any of the threads on this forum? People have been having this argument for two months now. People love different games for different reasons, and some defend those reasons with knives and guns - verbal equivalents, anyway.

Those who are unhappy with SH5 will tell you that SH3 is better. This is subjective. Better to say which you like more.

Those who are fascinated by SH5 and can ignore its current shortcomings will tell you that you don't have to walk 2 km to do anything. And mods are making that better every day.

I'm sorry for saying starting this thread was a bad idea. You may not have known what it's like around here when these things crop up. So far this one has been tame, because everybody's in a joking mood.

Oh, and WELCOME ABOARD!

Truthfully, i like SH5's " having to walk 2 km of submarine to reach the gun". I think it adds a missing tactical element. The tactical picture when conducting an attack change rapidly, and a real captain couldn't appear at the periscope, and then reappear at the hydrophones like a fart in the wind like you can with the press of a hotkey in SH3/SH4. So you have to plan out your own movements, or anticipate where you might need to place yourself. I kinda like that.

I use my Crew to fire guns etc. Like a real captain would.

And back to beer.....

I prefer kronenbourg 1664, Unfortently its difficult to find in New Zealand.

Moeceefus · 05-21-10, 11:04 PM

I think the next sub simulator will blow us all away

a modern day subsim set in any one of three fictional campaigns in various oceans.

I agree whole heartedly. I also believe between the mods and bug fixes, its deffinately coming together. Now we just need the rest of the bugs ironed out and GWX for SH5, some Becks, and I'll be a happy Kaleun

edit: woohoo 19 posts since 11/2008 I need to chat here more often

Why do people start these comparison or opinion threads when the complaints make the choice obvious?
