I've been playing Operation Monsun for awhile, and it's a very nice campaign, but none of the cool SH3 stuff is there. The harbors are pretty naked, and none of the cool things like Privateer's blimps have been ported into SH4.

I have felt for a long time that it is by far the better platform for all these mods.

But of course that's just my opinion.

Hi mate,

Thank for your quick reply, i am looking at the possibility SH4 offer versus SH3 but i would like to have modders point of view on the feasibility of porting all assets from Sh3 Atlantic theater to Sh4.

By reading old threads i saw that the GWX was trying to do so but they abandoned the project because of Ubisoft SH5 but i wonder if maybe they just saw that the amount of work required would have been too much?

I think the only answer i will get is that i buy myself a copy and start analyzing file structure to see where the biggest drawbacks are!

If thing could be done without too much difficulty i might consider it seriously.

Best regards Hans
