Welcome back on board! I myself took almost two years off this site to care for other issues and play other games. Now I'm back to the good ol' GWX3.

After doing some research and bringing myself up to speed here on Subsim, I realized that SH3 is sadly becoming a cult classic with those of us who like to remain in the stone age technology wise. What can I say? It's a much cheaper method than constantly upgrading simply for eye candy and buggy gameplay.

I feel that although SH3 is old (almost 9 years now!) it's actually a much better game due to the many years of mods, patches, and improvements. Many of the bugs have been removed from SH3 over the years. If you can handle the lack of eye candy, and you have the right mods, I believe you can make SH3 much more realistic and intense than other titles in the SH series.

I still play SH4 and 5, but I always end up coming back to SH3. Mostly because I'm used to the game engine and I know how to control all aspects of the sub under any conditions. Once I got into SH5, I couldn't believe all the nonsense and garbage that's in there. I find SH5's learning curve and excessive bugs to be deterring. After all we want to play a sim, not have an underwater soap opera with the crew or be CTD'ing all the time.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Welcome back!
