I was going to say something about necro posting, but I was going to wait four months to do it. I'm sure it was necro posting you meant and not that other word that means that other thing.

SH V need one year or more to stay at the same level of Sh 3 + GWX

Three examples:

Aditional submarines
Campaign after 1943 or distant grid patrols
Aditional merchant ships or units

and no mention about constan internet conection... Poor Ia, Bugs..

Sh3 and sh4 gives to the subsimmer the best overall perspective about the submarine war during WWII

I understand you. And made some mods myself for SH3. However, to release an incomplete game (shooter in my opinion) is quite frustrating.

I have sunk in two patrols 250.000 ton? Using my torpedoes and deck-gun.

That's why I see it (at the moment), as a shooter instead as a simulation game.

BTW: I appreciate all the work the modders have done.

My mods page here at subsim ... meaning I understand the hard work of modders.

(sorry for my bad english, I expect you understand me)

When you say poor IA, do you know there is AI MOD by TDW that makes IA 99% better?

I´m agree with SailorSteve. You talk about SH5 is crap or anything .. but .. do you know the latest advances with Mods? Have you looked at the SH5 Mod Section before ?

Thanks

As was posted earlier - ignoring the amazing work our modders have done (in four months or so) to this game is doing them a great disservice.

You should buy the game, install the mods, then maybe - you'll know what you are talking about, and if you already have the game? Then you can't have tried the mods out there.

Sure it's not perfect, it's not like a supermodded SH3 for sure, but it also is no-where near as bad as you've just said.

Didn't you know roobo, GWX was developed one week after SH3 was on the market.

I'm really getting into SH5 with the improvements of the mods.

No, i not ignore the modders work, it´s a great work , and i said

"SH V need one year or more to stay at the same level of Sh 3 + GWX"

because it requires a lot of time for modders fix and make upgrades. i don´t expect any movement of UBI

I'd say at least 1.5 years assuming you have a team of dedicated people working on it. More then likely, longer then 1.5 years. Maybe 2, maybe more. I don't think very many people realize just how much you have to reload the game as a modder when doing certain things. You make a tweak, save the file, start the game, wait for it toload to the menu, start a mission and wait for loading, see the result. exit game, make tweak, start the game, load.. etc etc. DRM on top of that makes this a screaming PAIN IN THE ASS! It's tedious as it is already, DRM compounds this issue even more.

I wonder how many people around here remember SH3 before super mods. Comparetively though, an unmodded SH3 wasn't as bad as an unmodded SH4/Sh5. It did spend longer in development then it's successors.

At any rate , i think people are impatient. I have the impression they want a fully modded SH3 with prettier graphics right out of the box. Personally, after giving SH5 two "college tries", i find im quite content with SH4, with SH5 residing as shelf fodder for the next couple years while the SH5 modders climb mount Everest.

Firstly, thank you for a cool headed and fair response(too many times have rediculous arguments broken out on the general SH5 forum).

However, I remember in SHIII pre-GWX getting around 200,000 tons in two patrols, which is not far off. I have to say that 4 months after SHIII was released, it was almost if not just as bad as SH5 is right now. I am sorry if others disagree with this(however most people here probably don't even know what it was like). BTW, I was using GWX mods way before I joined Subsim, so don't let that fool you.

Lastly, I appreciate that you have contibuted to the subsim community by way of modding, it is a noble deed.

Thank you. I have found that the vast majority of people who post negative remarks about SH5 do not even own it. And, when they do own it, it seems like they have not put any effort into finding the right mods.

Ok, let me get this straight, you don't ignore the modders work, but you just compared stock SH5 to SHIII+GWX. That does not make any sense at all. Please at least take into account all existing mods for SH5 before making a comparison to other subsims with their respective mods.

I admit that SHIII+GWX is better than SH5 in many ways. All my main point is that saying SH5 is unplayable is ridiculous. Also, comparing a game that we have only had 4 months to work on to a game that has had half a decade is not fair to anyone.
