What's your favourite SH title?

Lospadillas · 06-07-13, 04:54 PM

I was just wondering which game rated the most highly with everyone.
I read a lot of stuff on how bad SH5 was, but I have found it pretty good so far, despite the WASD activities. And the lack of clarity when in port.

WELCOME ABOARD!

First, you're posting this in the SH5 forums. That's fine, as you like SH5. The problem is that most of your responses are going to be from SH5 players.

Second, any responses from SH3 or SH4 players may be honest to start with, but you're asking for a fight to develop. I say this because we've had a great many of these arguments before, and we don't need another one. Subsim is normally a fairly friendly place, but there are certain topics that just cause trouble.

Sorry to come down on you like this, but as I said we've seen this sort of question develop into battles royale. Probably better to have asked a question like this in General Games or General Topics.

Fair point

V13dweller · 06-09-13, 03:15 AM

Personally, SH5 is my favorite, but that because I have a high powered PC to enjoy the wonderful graphics and I have not had much trouble with modding the game.

And welcome to SubSim.

SHIII - Extensive and refined U-boat sim.

SH4 - Refined US Fleet Sub sim.

SH5 - Good U-boat sim, but also a training ground for tommorrow's best game devs.

Everyone likes something different, and are today's prices people should try them all.

Has no one come up with SH 3.5 ,the best of both, which will end the debate?

Not yet. The big limitation with SH5 at the moment is lack of sub types other than the Type VII and lack of merchant ship types. Also no one has made working locks for the canals and harbors as was done for SH3 long ago. And even with very good mods the SH5 campaign is still lacking.

When all those are finally addressed SH5 may still have a chance of leaving everything else behind, but that may never happen. Still, I keep hoping.

I wish that GWX4 had seen the light of day. It would have been amazing.

SnipersHunter · 08-10-13, 02:55 AM

Sh 3+GWX 3 ist the best.

Then my idea is sound, but who can make it so! If SHIII is a good idea and SHV is a good idea and the best of both is combined we achieve a P -51 type epiphany and end the futile thread of which is best. Or as in my college logic course which permanently warps one's thinking: if P-then Q-if Q then R, in which case if P you don't really need Q to get to R.! Summon the Dark Wraith and Trevally and any other savants mods and cut to the chase.

I loved the ones that worked.
I was on a break, came back and my games broke, can login but get kicked after a second. My career seems to be gone, I did get it to work once to find this out.
All my mods were over written by secret auto patch I bet, so that's three months of customizing wasted.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled this so many times that when I call to get a new license code, they know me by name.
I think I may just treat this game the same way I play.....dead is dead.

Sailor Steve · 06-10-13, 12:37 PM

I tried to keep this from turning into another "complaint" thread. Please state which is your favorite, or post elsewhere.

CoGuAR · 06-10-13, 03:45 PM

SH3 with GWX is my favorite... But I have sill to mod my SH5...

JU_88 · 06-11-13, 01:11 AM

3 & 5 respectivly
Modded 3 for playability
5 for visuals
If only they could be merged in to one game

Never got in to 4, I tried but It just didnt do it for me, I like US subs alot, but i think for me the problem waas the PTO theatre, I just never been that intreasted in it for some reason.
