I'm back to sink a few

Any where I go to a review site on games, they sing its praises. Its always the same in my opinion. Game reviewers don't ever tell the truth.

The worst game I ever got was hearts of iron 3 after glowing reviews everywhere. That game never worked for at least 2 years before it got patched properly.

I did look in the SH5 forum and one of the first threads I saw was ...
Is this game playable yet?.

SH3 is one of the few games I regulary return to and everytime I come back to this forum there are always die hard fans around.
I just thought I would get a few opinions on here, thoughts on SH5 and why they stick with SH3.
I think a lot of people in the SH5 forum probably haven't got SH3.

Anyway sorry for getting snappy earlier. I had another thread open and was getting stressed with a problem I was having.

Right, My problem is fixed, I set sail for the north sea in 5 mins.
Look out limeys I'm coming

SH5 is beautiful. It has the best graphics I've ever seen (most of what I've seen is from screenshots and a tiny bit of experimentation before my computer decided it couldn't run it) and some awesome harbors. My problem is you can't run a Type II or Type IX and there are only seven merchant types, mostly American (SH3 has well over one hundred if you run the MFM). SH5 also has a very unhistorical campaign system, and a bunch of other things I won't go into now. If and when I finally get a better computer I'll probably run all three of the extant versions, because it's just the way I am.

Possibly. I think SH5 is the best submarine game ever made, and people who want a fun submarine game love it for its look and feel. Unfortunately what SH3 has is a fantastic random campaign and that makes it a much better simulation, which is what appeals to many more of us.

On the other hand I've also mentioned many times that I still play the eighteen-year-old Aces Of The Deep, so my passion certainly to the simulation area.

I probably deserved it. I sometimes describe myself as "quick to judge, quick to condemn and quick to kick myself for being an idiot."

That almost certainly won't stop me the next time somebody asks the same question.

Iambecomelife's Merchant Fleet Mod. Forty freighters, nineteen tankers, most of them in American and British folders, plus four small freighters and several fleet auxiliary vessels. It takes a huge amount of memory to run.

Sounds good! Does it come with the appropriate recognition manual references or are you forced to guestimate?

That I don't know. My computer won't run it. I'm pretty sure that it does though. I use its pictures as reference for my own Ship Names mod.
