Well, I am not so happy because I wanted a sub sim with the latest graphics abilities. I haven't even considered SH3 because it is now fairly old. But at the moment I have something that still has some glaring mistakes in it. Why is there a contact/contact influence switch when the setting is actually hardcoded? And why is my sub diving slower when it is at speed? My personal opinion is that there are still a few emersion killers in the game that warrant a fourth patch. For me, it has little to do with the theater.

Patched to 1.3 and modded, I'm happy with the game. If we're lucky enough to get a patch 1.4 then I'm all for it, but if it was announced today that there would be no further patches, I'd be ok with that.

I thought your reply was fine, Donut. You can always disagree with a Moderator, just as you would with any other member here. It's only if it becomes a personal attack that there is a problem.

Absolutely! I have had many good disagreements with JCC. Keep mutual respect (or at least show some to the moderators - whether they return it is another thing.... :rotfl::rotfl and you can argue as much as you like.

Just one of the things that makes this site one of my all-time favourites.

Cheers

Having the sonar functioning on the surface isn't a bug, it's just far too effective. In any event, someone will eventially tweak it for a more realistic representation.

Oh, yeah and patch 1.3 is excellent, sure more stuff could be fixed (there's always something to fix lol), but for me the patch just makes a great game even better.

I recall having an entertaining discussion about the interpretation of the results of a poll, with various to-and-fro about my analysis.....and many before that. Not that I've ever been rude, so maybe that's what it takes to get remembered? If so, count me out.

p.s. If mods have retention of goldfish we really can say what we like.....

I find it to be a good patch. There are some bugs and omissions, but overall the result is pretty positive. The worst, the switch for contact / influence pistol not working. The best, the escort AI tweaks: engaging a task force takes a lot of guts now, and you basically have one golden shot before you have to turn your tail.

It makes the game a lot more challenging.

I would have enjoyed a similar change for the planes, as they kind of stink at aiming. They are easy to avoid and easy to shoot down, and if they gave tonnage I would be farming those all day long!

I think it runs very well, but with all products, it needs refining to be perfect
