If you play SH3, one of the 'Radiolog' mod messages is a real one from mid-September 1939 ordering boats to stop using the Channel.

I bought SH3 recently from a play.com trader but have yet to play it. I guess im worried that since i am getting use to SH4, i might find SH3 a bit dissapointing, though i believe some of the mods for SH3 are excellent.

Well i dont find the channel a deathtrap in game year 1939, its more tedious than anything else, particulalry during the day with all the RAF overflights.

Till about mid 1940 I use the channel.
Then mines become to much of a problem.
Later on the shear volume of Navy traffic + mines make it pretty suicidal.

I don't think I have been there since I first ran into a mine field however. Those things hurt and are not marked on the map

Try using the grey wolves mod. You won't be dissappointed.
