Lately, I've been playing both sides of the Axis & Allies fence by having a German and US career going at the same time. When one gets a bit slow in terms of things happening, I turn to the other.

You do feel start to feel schizophrenic at times. But it passes.

Don't currently play SH4, but only because my computer doesn't run it so well. I miss SH1 and the Pacific side of things, and I'm looking forward to the day I can finally do it. As for the German side, I play SH3 incessantly and can't wait until my wishes are fulfilled for SH4 to have everything SH3 has, mod-wise.

I didn't play SH3 very long... I failed to complete a mission in campaign and the software forced me to repeat it till it was - I never finished the mission and grew weary of doing the same thing everytime I booted up.

Ended up shelving it.

I'm sure glad SH4 doesn't force this...

Will only play SH3 till I feel the Atlantic Campaign is fully complete for SH4. The new environment by kriller and w_clear looks scrumptious and with GWX's Tomi producing such a great U-Boat interior then I feel the day may come when i'll move to SH4.....but for now, i'm doing what i like doing best and thats U-Boating it around the Atlantic.

I'm playing SH4 now because SH3 has issues with high resolution widescreen displays. I guess the race is on. If they ever find a good solution to the widescreen issue then I'll go back to SH3. If GWX 4 ever arrives, I'll likely stick with SH4.

You know what I miss about SH3? Handwritten messages from my radio operator and the constant flow of messages from BDU and other ships. Even if they were scripted they added a lot to immersion.

Play both SH3 and SH4......Was a torpodoeman on the old Diesel Fleet Boat USS Segundo SS-398 until she was decommisioned.......I like SH4 because its Fleet Boats, but for the best play it's SH3 with GWX Gold
