SH 4 or wait for SH5

SH4 is an essential purchase for anybody with even a passing interest in Sub-sims. The Silent Hunter series is the best dedicated Sub-sim franchise that has a wonderful modding community working tirelessly to improve each new installment. The good news is GWX4 is soon to be released for SH4 and that's almost as big a deal as a new Subsim coming out. Enjoy.

GWX4 has been cancelled unfortunately.

Buy SH4 while you are waiting for SH5... you won't regret it!

The complete SH4 UBM 1.5 at EBay : $9.99 + Free Shipping.

Are you waiting for it to be FREE.

Neah, don't buy SH4. What's the point? There's a good chance they'll make an expansion for SH5 with american boats, in about 2 years. So why buy NOW a 2 year old game that has amazing graphics, with water that you can loose yourself in and a beautiful Pacific Campaign with superb naval battles? I really don't see any reason...

SH4 is a great game with or without GWX4. No matter who comes, or if nobody comes, the SH4 modding scene is great! SH4 is the best submarine simulation on the planet and this is the best modding scene.

Those of us who are a part will continue to mod for this game, even after the release of SH5. It's not as if the new game replaces this one. And if SH5 bites the big one and becomes an RPG instead of a simulation (that's possible, you know!) we could be the equivalent of the Nascar 2003 simmers, still going strong long after EA "replaced" the Papyrus simulation with a great deal of swagger and no substance.

We're a long way from the best of the SH4 experience!

You want german uboats, wait till sh5/get sh3

you want US subs get sh4...

Rockin Robbins · 08-31-09, 06:01 PM

Good point. Don't forget what a great game SH3 is, and you can have all the GWX you want there, in a highly perfected state of excellence. I wonder what kind of comparison SH5 will make with the gameplay of SH3. Surprises happen, you know. I wouldn't be using SH3 disks for coasters just yet...

Task Force · 08-31-09, 06:03 PM

Or get both... Get the sh4 now, then the the other later...

Sh5 wont be out for a while.

10 bucks is just to far out of reach for some people.
