SH3 the best u-boat sim (for me)?

TheDudTorpedo · 03-03-09, 03:46 AM

I can't compare to other sub games, but I do appreciate complete immersion, and SH3 + GWX3 most certainly delivers in that regard. I strongly recommend giving it a go, and then post back here when your first depth charge attack shatters all cookies cutlery!

As for learning it : I did without even referring to the manual, admitedly not playing at 100% realism, but none-the-less a very easy game to learn.

Welcome

Thank you for your replies and warm welcome!

My copy has arrived but I keep it sealed for the time being, as I'm afraid I'd likely give
up all hope of having a life once I start playing

It's kindda funny being so much behind the curve, it's like showing up late for a party...
on the good side, I now get a mature sim with so many mods and a that great community resources and tips

Watched some clips on youtube and the graphics and realism look mind blowing, I can't believe it's all in-game and not some movie trailer.

I'll let you guys know how's it going when I get to it.

I havn't played Command:Aces of the Deep. I just read a review where someone said the best part was the campaign. They claimed the best tactic was to follow a convoy during the day and attack at night while surfaced, submerge and they resurface in a new location and attack again.

These sounds truer to real life tactics than what SH3 provides. There have been recent threads about the difficulty of surface attacks at night in SH3. I will be starting a new campaign soon to try out some tweeks Hitman did in the SIM.cfg file to help make night attacks more feasible, so will see how it goes.

With the stock game its almost mandatory to use periscope attacks at night.

But the party is still going, and will be for quite some time to come!
