I have played both, but prefer SH3 + GWX3 front of these two you have listed, but the taste is different as you know, what you ever choose, you will like it.

Try them all and then decide.

Personally? I'd take 5 over 4, but I'd (so far) take 3+GWX over 5. But it depends on what you want theatre and gameplay-wise. All the games have their pros and cons, and they all have there fanboys and haters (more like - dislikers!). They're all available so cheap now you may as well buy the lot and try for yourself as only you will know what is preferred by you!

SH4 Is certainly the best version, of course, with v1.5 , any previous versions are not very good, the American fleet is fun for a little while, but its loud noises and its poor max depth level makes it hard to evade enemies. The two U-boats are wonderful, especially in campaign.

Thats my opinion.

Take a look at the discussion here for some good views on SH4 vs. 3/5....

Im talking factory v1.5 install. Yes, only two.

But stock SH3 is a dog, so any comparison should be made with mods installed. Truthfully, OM doesn't match up to GWX, and needs more work and newer mods, but fair is fair.

[Captain J. Borne]

True. SH3 with factory install is really crappy, lol. It is, the graphics are bad, and there are bugs (like the direction the boat leans during dive/surface ughh!) so yea with gwx3 sh3 is a totally new game.

I dont use any mods on sh4 except my multiplayer mod that allows the uboats to play on lan/wan (tunngle) or whatever, that was my only real problem with v1.5

[Sailor Steve]

Ah. I have the problem that I have to play in a linear order, and I always seem to be starting over, so if I'm going to play SH4 it has to be OM or not at all. Someday I might actually reach 1942 and get to play fleet boats.

If compared a stock SH4 & SH5 game then IMO both are crap, unfinished buggy game. Only with Mods installed then both of these games are fun, playable & worthy. There still not many mods for SH5 yet, so the SH4 with its abundant of excellent mods out there like the RFB, TMO & OM is still the best when compared with SH5.

[Sailor Steve]

WELCOME ABOARD!

Your statements are also true of SH3, and it has even more mods that haven't been duplicated for SH4 and probably never will be, at least for the German side.

SH3 and SH4 both have one important thing imho : A Soul.
Some say crappy out of the box but still worth playing for me.

With Mods both are growing up to Masterpieces of Software for me.

SH5 is...................nothing more than.......no, I wont say it, sry

Ohh its not that bad! True it isn't as good as sh3 and sh4, but only when you compare them.

SH5 is very fun and a great game, but kinda buggy. The whole GUI and ways of doing things has changed, thats all, you just have to re-learn all the controls, as you did when you first played sh3


Thats my opinion.
