I play both, but personally prefer SH3, mainly because I prefer U-Boats, SH4 is buggy, but it potentially has a lot more going for it than SH3, so I'm playing an SH4 campaign at a slow rate and watching developments with interest.
Well said Personally, I needed a change with SH4

The intent was to find out who amongst SHIII players was playing either or both. Not to ask everyone what their preferences were. I'm also interested in what mods people are using.

Use the random loading screens by Tikigod, Venatore's Sound Mod, Open Hatch Mod, lots of period stuff for the grammaphone, various skins for the sub and Tikigod's Engine Telegraph Mod for starters

SH3 only,

haven't got sh4, bought my sh3 dvd at a 2nd hand goods store for 3 euros

I went back to sh3 for variety from Elder scrolls 3: morrowind since my curent computer wont run Oblivion, surprisingly I do manage to run SH3 with GWX, works like a charm

I used to play vanilla, with some mods for nomographs and whatnot, and sh3 commander (of course) then I reinstalled, had a look here for the latest patches and such, found GWX...

now I'm totally hooked again .....stupid GWX, giving me stress, adrenaline flowing, very bad....I'm loosing sleep here....

ah well, it's a great game and a great mod

erm....gotta go, Bernard left the bloody radar on again,....Alllaaaarm!!

Default Kind of given up on both, heres why hope some one can help me out

OK, I have a problem, I think sh3 is better game when modded to GWX, plus some others like open hatch, but I think graphics in SH4 are way better.

I think there is a new GWX4 on the way, can some one confirm this? I'm kind of waiting for this as I'm hoping to reinstall SH3 and the new GWX so I dont have to go searching far and wide for all the mods I used to have in SH3, some of the older mod links dont seem to work. I've been away for so long I no longer know what goes with what.

I was hoping to get some new life into sh3 with Iambecomelife's merchant pack, but cant work out if its released or still under construction, kind of hoping it will be included in GWX4.

In a nut shell I have been away for a while, and want to get back into SH3, but cant work out where to go to get all the best mods, can any one offer any advise.

SHIII only at the moment, the same thing as Jaesen, installed, applied the patch, uninstalled! If SHIV is fixed, certainly would require a few patches, I may give it another go. But the Atlantic & u-boats are definitely my favorite.

It's SH3 only for me. For one, my computer wouldn't run SH4. Second, I prefer the icy waters of the North Atlantic to the Pacific anyway.

I've loaded both stand alone SH3 and SH3/GWX patched to 1.03. I don't play, and never have finished one mission, I just mod and use these two setups as the backbone of compatability prior to releasing it to the forum. One day I will play it and enjoy it.

Default SH3 mods

I only play SH3 at the moment because I guess being British I prefer the Atlantic war theatre rather than the Pacific. Probably because it is closer to home.

The mods I use are:

GWX 1.03
SH commander
GWX combined skin pack
Lighthouse V2 (for realistic lighthouses)!
Sobers 3D waves
Elite uboat crew uniforms (either ver 1 or ver 2) depending.
Concrete textures (dont know if its in GWX)
Churches obs periscope
Type II periscope correction mod (inc Hi res dials)
Type VII open hatch (inc hi res dials)
fubars type IID camo skin
Treemod (differant seasons on landscape dont know if its in GWX)
Torpedo damage final (damage textures)
tfms survivors
Racerboys exhaust mods for type II and type VIIb
Racerboys flags mod (BETA version)
Racerboys internal lights mod
monkey wrench mod
coratios seafloor mod
multi SH3
minitweaker (for flags mod & interior lights)

Das Boot loading screens


Several sound mods cherry picked and amalgomated into one for me these include:

Tikigods Telegraph mod
Sound for GWX from poul
command combat vers 1
a few others i have picked up but cant remember where.

On my test setup I have created an alternative install to test some of the latest SH3 to SH4 mods but have not run its yet.


Soon I will have a go at SH4 but probably not fo quite a while.

All of these mods help to immerse me in the game!

System info:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 2.6Ghz duel core 5000 cpu
4gb Balistix RAM
1gb Nvidia superclocked 7950 GX2 graphics card
Win XP pro

Offence,& Deffence>>"Fences make good neighbors."

(SHIV),Perhaps it has something to do with learning a new files programing influence on control functions of simulations,quite fun to stay so immersed,that you fall asleep after 7 days game time. The community has SHIII visitors often ,also bringing modding knowhow to help the challenged Pansie's return fire,& have 4th of July once in a while.
