My sub won't follow its course

Question is, is SH 3 or SH 5 any better???

not really, in fact sh3 files are all over inside sh4 and sh4 files are all over inside sh5, they just keep adding files on top of each other and altering the old files for reuse with the next game so the game engine changes but I would say 25%-30% of the files are still left behind unused by the next game. that's where we have tga AND dds files, wav files AND ogg files, because they reused as much as they could from the last game to make the next one. I bet there are 500mb of game files the game doesn't need or use because they are just "leftovers" from the reuse of the older game version file in mass.

the best way to describe it is they didn't make a new game from scratch, they just recreated the game into something new by using a better game engine and tweaking the files to use different content. I would bet sh3 also contains large chunks of files from the sh2 game. you see this when you are modding and you find two of the same files where one is used and the other isn't, this is because (for example) in sh3 maybe it used the "color blue.tga" file but in sh4 they changed the game engine so now it needs a "color blue.dds" file it uses, yet the old file was never removed even though it was replaced by another file. there seamed to be no thought given to cleaning things up and removing any and all unused files in the game. I suspect this is because with sh4 and sh5, they stopped development before the game was even finished
