I've only just found the SH series because someone on RoF told me about it. Luckily there was a sale so I got 3,4,5, and the expansion for 4 for 20 bucks.
Hey, No problem. Just helping out a new member.

And WOW!!! That's a steal! ( Pun kind of intended ) I play SH 1-4 and I probably paid 15 dollars for SH3 and 5. The rest I either had or got as a gift. I can't play SH5 though.

You aren't missing anything at all, it's SH3 if they took the difficult parts out and improved the graphics. There's no real accomplished feeling to it... Also, no crew management which is kind of strange.

I've heard that many times over. I'd still like to be able to play it because of the ability to walk through the whole boat.

That's the only redeeming quality I see :/
Some people really like it apparently. My favourite is definitely IV:Wolves of the Pacific I don't really like playing the Germans in it, it's just so much fun to sneak into bays on mainland Japan and blow up their massive ships.

Do you run any mods? It's more fun to patrol the South China Sea or around the many islands of the South Pacific.

Yeah, I use RFB and RSRDC. I like TMO a lot, but I like RFB a little bit better because I run into ships that aren't surrounded by 15 destroyers.

That right there is where skill comes into play. It all comes with experience. You'll be charging into those convoys torpedo tubes a'flooded in a few months. I was the same when I started. I liked stock SH3 cause there were tons of unguarded ships. Now, I play TMO+RSDRC at 80 Realism and GWX at 80.

Plus, I understand Dangerous Waters.
