>>where I live there is no decent internet connection

Yup, SH5, is right out.

>>Needless to say I am mostly interested in the single player game.

You've come to the right place

>>SH1 & 2 are too old for me

Me too.

>> as I want to have semi decent graphics.

Define semi decent?

>>So my questions to you guys are: SH3 or SH4?

That i think depends on what your into, and how you define "semi decent graphics".

If your into Uboats, partial to the atlantic theater, and don't mind a graphic engine that is a little dated, then SH3 is definatly a good choice.

If your not partial to any theater, and want a game that looks a little better graphicly, then SH4 is a good choice.

>>Which in your opinion is the best all-round game and why?

Though i admit here, cause i spent the last few years modding SH4, i have to admit it is a mixed bag. In a nutshell......

Everything about SH3 as a game engine works correctly. It's a little dated around the edges, slow to load, but it's a solid platform, has great atmosphere, and it freaking works.

SH4, you have more choices. With the mods available you have around, (and im over generalizing), something like 10 to 12 different types of submarines to play with, in two different theaters of war. In SH3 you have half that, and only one theater of war. That said, while the game looks better graphically, some things that used to function in SH3, no longer function correctly in SH4 (and even less so in SH5

).

So really, it all depends on what your into. Personally, if i was a die hard Uboat fan, i think id be playing SH3. I'm a bit more rounded though, so ive been sticking with SH4, with some brief forays into SH5.
