Thats a nice one.

P.S. Debates like this one usually involve the GWX supermod ; thats the basis of the dispute. I maybe mistaken (hope so) but i've never seen a similar discussion by those who play basically the NYGM or WAC supermod (though i've seen ''WAC supporters'' and ''GWX supporters'' fighting - thats an another case). I'm trying to understand why but i can't. Surely, i don't believe that GWX has ''sworn enemies'' or/and ''fanatic enthusiasts'' or sthg. This would mean that GWX has become a psychosis. If this was true then the phrase ''SH3, a very addictive game'' should make us worry. Since i don't like psychology i'll leave it for the end. Till then i'll keep wondering whats going on (?).

That's because you haven't been around long enough. Back in 2005 Beery put out the first supermod - Real U-Boat. People complained about the changes he'd made, sure, but they also complained about things he hadn't changed. Trust me, NYGM and WAC and even SH3 Commander have had their fair share of "**** ate my cat and ruined gaming for me!" GWX has just been the most used mod, so it's the one that garnered the most attention of late.

It seems that the phenomenon that is the silent hunter series evokes strong feelings about the method of game play used.
For what it is worth I think GWX is the most widely used mod and in being so has made it the most easily targeted Supermod.
Most who play SH3 love it to death and the makers of it defend it to the last against any criticism. and because of it there was not the great rush to change over from SH3 to SH4 as expected. I think this is what started the clashes between GWX and SH4 users.
There is no getting away from the fact there is a great divide between the users of the two Games and this will continue on even with the release of SH5 coming soon.
I guess it will then be SH4 against SH5 or if SH5 turns out to be a flop back to SH3 verses the rest.

Hmm. So GWX is the supermod used by the majority. Cool. If so (and i don't doubt that) it should take the least of all negative criticism (since almost everyone is happy with it) but its the opposite that happens.

If this is true the psychosis scenario seems a little bit closer to me now.
Anyway.

The point I was trying to make is that newer users never try the stock game, so any problem that arises is blamed on the mod. The more the users, the more the complaints.

I'm NOT crazy! I'm NOT! And if you say I am again, I'll hunt you down and...waitaminute...

I did not imply such a thing.

Wasn't trying to imply that you did. I've heard it said that one of the signs that we're sane is the acceptance that we may not be. I knew that you weren't talking about me specifically, and I responded with a mock rant indicating that I was indeed crazy as a loon.

Just wanted to make sure you knew that I knew that you knew that I knew that.

LOL! Lost in translation....again.
Thanks for clarifying things Steve and ''sorry'' for the misunderstanding.
