Silent Hunter 3 vs. Silent Hunter 5 ... who's the best?

Truthfully, i like SH5's " having to walk 2 km of submarine to reach the gun". I think it adds a missing tactical element. The tactical picture when conducting an attack change rapidly, and a real captain couldn't appear at the periscope, and then reappear at the hydrophones like a fart in the wind like you can with the press of a hotkey in SH3/SH4. So you have to plan out your own movements, or anticipate where you might need to place yourself. I kinda like that.

I use my Crew to fire guns etc. Like a real captain would.

And back to beer.....

I prefer kronenbourg 1664, Unfortently its difficult to find in New Zealand.

I think the next sub simulator will blow us all away

a modern day subsim set in any one of three fictional campaigns in various oceans.

I agree whole heartedly. I also believe between the mods and bug fixes, its deffinately coming together. Now we just need the rest of the bugs ironed out and GWX for SH5, some Becks, and I'll be a happy Kaleun
