Computer Specs Required?

I am a brand new sub skipper, having just come into possession of sh3 (and installed the grey wolves mod). Having gone through all of the material I can find relating to SH4, it seems to me that the graphics are the area most overhauled. The ships seem to contain very high resolution textures and be polygon heavy (full of detail). The water/weather engine has had the same attention lavished on its visuals.

The crew members seem to be composed of far more polygons and the lighting engine has been overhauled (judging by the lovely interior shots).

I am far from an experienced pc gamer, but it would seem to me that a minimum of 1 gig memory (on system) and 256 meg dedicated video memory on your card must be expected.

I imagine that cpu is probably less of an issue and if your current cpu can handle the latest grey wolves mod, you will be ok.

Your video card and system ram wil be the deciding factors here i think...at least judging by my own experiences with pc flight sims..
