If SH3 was priced at $200 i still would of brought it.

As an ardent flight simmer it was a real jump to through myself into a sub sim, i had tryed SH2 and liked it, so when SH3 came out i had to have my computer upgraded and have XP installed that filks is my only whinge. The game it self is a pure winner, YES there has been problems, but thank god there are folks out there who are willing to listern to its public and try to correct them.....yes i love SH3.. but with an eye on future developments please remember the little guy who cant afford to upgrade with every new game.

Simply considering the fact that UBI paid attention to what the consumers wanted in their next subsim, engaging in forums and what not, I vote yes. I prepaid as soon as subsim offered and was not dissapointed to learn I'd be waiting while they added the dynamic campaign.. bravo ubi. I just hope this trend may continue. And many thanks to Mr. Stevens for bringing this community together!! So, money well spent?.. well I spent it twice.. since my daughter broke my first disk ...

I'm one of the many who voted yes.

Since CAOD there hasn't been a game like this. Sure, SHI and SHII were there but I never played part II and though part I was quite good, I personally have more interest in an Atlantic campaign than in a Pacific one.

When considering the four major subsims I have played (Silent Service II, Command - Aces of the Deep, Silent Hunter I and Silent Hunter III), I can't help but feel that the evolution curve is still a bit low. I mean that SSII didn't feel so different in gameplay from SHIII and there is still much to be gained in further developing gaming options for SHIV and SHV (I know there will be a V someday! ). Of course, I must admit that playing SHIII on a 1.1GHZ machine with 384mb RAM and a 64Mb video card is a rater paltry affair: generally, I must switch screens and give commands through hotkeys as my machine simply can't cope with giving commands through the 3d interface.

I do have some complaints about SHIII, especially in the replay value and mood of the war. There is little of both. All missions are almost the same, only the type of boat you're using dictates what happens. When the war is over, all you get is a message from BdU. BdU is remarkably quiet during the campaigns as well and there is little news from the war itself.

Once I get a new rig, I shall download some heavy duty mods and see what the game gives me then.

All in all, I generally like Ubisoft games, and I've done so ever since discovering this little gem called Iron Lord in the late eighties, on my Commodore 64. The games aren't perfect of course, but developers do try hard to make our experience worth it.

Kind regards,

HELL YES!!! and I'd even pay for it again if I had to!

I'm totally suprosed that there's no expansion for this sim.


SHIV is a complete failure.

Not at all. Many people are playing and enjoying it.

As already stated, both sub sims have their individual and joint supporters. I currently prefer SH3/GWX ....but I also own SHIV

Oh bull**** this is the sort of crap that has driven a wedge between our communities. Clearly right now GWX is the top supermod, but there is a lot of great stuff for SHIV out there and some talented modders in both camps!

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Easy there Joea.

Eye of the beholder.

There are those out there that think that GWX is the worst thing to ever happen to the community.

There are even those that feel U-boat modders have no place in the SH4 mods workshop and would like to see the two 'camps' segregated later... even though the two could benefit each other and make leaps and bounds once they are in the same room...

The 'camps' are an invention created by jealous and angry people and have nothing to do with the improvement of submarine simulations... in ANY ocean or genre.

Nothing we can do will change some opinions... or misplaced outlooks on life.

The environment is going to change and the two will meet in the middle. Just give it time. Those that cannot adapt will scream bloody murder and then leave.

You'll see. You've just got to be a little patient and know that the right thing will happen.

To quote a friend, "SH4 is about to be a modder's heaven."

Trust me.

Just give it time.

Nothing can stop logical evolution.

... Just as we can't stop these bloody POLLS!!! LMAO!!!

If I had paid £50 ( in fact I paid less than half that price) for SH3 it would not have been too much, and then GWX, for free (!) gives such an enhanced game , it is worth every penny, whatever the full price might be. It stopped me playing my other long-time favourite of many years which is Egosoft's space sim, X-series. I just wish I had enough time to enjoy them both.

I paid the full price for SH4, but really have not got into that yet - too busy with SH3!
Brilliant game, whatever your level of player skills, that is what I think - I just wish the Kiel canal was not so loooonnngggg.

LOL, it's shorter than the other route.:rotfl:

Again - I ask for a time limit to polls. This one has been nerco's twice now.
