I am still playing SH5 WoS after all these years and still love it and although I think SH3 GWX was better in some ways I still preferred my SH5 WoS version and honestly want to know from you guys which version you prefer. Should I jump ship or stay off the coast of America in my Drumbeat playthrough?

There is nothing wrong with running both games. Just be certain that you do not install SH3 in a Program Files folder, and that you set the SH3.exe "Properties" Compatibility settings to match your computer.

As far as what's new, there is the new UI, throughout the whole mod. The campaign is a combined campaign, so no matter where you decide to play, the campaign files are there. The Campaign was run through Hebe's mySH-Tool, and some of the config issues with the combined campaign were mostly eliminated. New ship models were substituted for a good portion of the rosters, the same with the planes, with a few new of each added. Overall, you should find the Save system a little more forgiving for when and where you Save. We could still trash things, same as before when saving around a lot of traffic or underwater (especially if diving), but so long as it is not terribly busy around you with all friendlies, you can usually Save like that. Overall, the attempted "design" was for stability and efficiency, so new ship additions especially, were not done. We attempted several, but had to pull them back, since there were issues with the game running consistently... So think of a prettier GWX that runs better. I have a Core2 quad 9550 with 2x 5400rpm hard drives and a 1070 video card, and it takes about 7 minutes to load a 1944 Brest start, which is better than GWX 3.0 was... Download it, unzip it, give a try. If you like it, fantastic. If you don't, continue with your SH5.
