SH5 vs SH3

[Bosje]

mods hardly make the game easier to play
SH5 vanilla I was shocked to see how little I could actually do.
SH3 vanilla I don't remember.

talking about mods: for SH3 get GWX if you want a great ride, but it's not easy.
for SH5 I would recommend Wolves of Steel. all in one modpack. you get a lot of shortcuts with it. but again, it doesn't make the game easier. a lot better though

oh and welcome aboard

I am an old SH3 fan that finally has only come over to try sH5 in the last months or so.

I was really excited about the "moving around inside the boat thing" but for me, personally, I find that it has worn off and now I just time accelerate at 128 while looking at the map until my crew spots something. Then, during a hunt, I am usually on the bridge. What I am saying is I don't really use the inside of the sub much. It is great to have it but I just don't use it anymore.

Still playing SH5 with TWOS mod. Love those clouds and sunsets!

Hi Heschen

I am playing SH3 with LSH3-2015
I am playing SH5 with TWOS that uses TDW's NewUi7-5-0

I can see no real difference in either of these two when working the deck gun.
Both have the ability for the WO icon to select the deck gun.
SH3 F10 takes you directly to the deck gun if you want to fire it.
SH5 teleport deck gun icon takes you directly to the deck gun if you want to fire it.

With SH5 you should not use the WO officer command to man the deck gun as the deck gun will not position itself correctly when finished with.
You have to go to battle stations first using the officer icon.
I produced 2 SH5 tutorials that explain what happens with each type of command.

As far as mods go, I keep banging on about TWOS.
This is the only mega mod where everything comes in 1 package and all you need to do is follow the instructions.
I have now completed 60 manual saves and now in the middle of my 6th patrol South Western Approaches.

If you are interested in doing your own mods package then you can take some ideas from here.
Post #35 Mod List Ideas From TheBerbster and Other Options

Vecko with TWOS has moved the game to new frontiers and is currently working on ways to eliminate faults that are still embedded in SH5.

With SH3 gamers should now seriously consider looking at another all in 1 package with the excellent LSH3-2015 version rather than automatically just going for GWX 3.0.
