I didn't discover Aces Of The Deep until later. That game has you start your u-boat career in a Type II, then offers to upgrade you to a Type VII or IX as you progress. I would take the offer, or not, until I had a career going in each type of boat. With SH3 I do the same. I currently have a career in a Type II, Type VIIa, Type VIIb and Type IX going on at the same time, alternating between types according to the date of each career. I can do that with SH4 and Op Monsun, but SH5 won't let me have a Type II or Type IX. Also, while eye candy isn't my main deciding factor, I do like travelling in and out of the harbors and down the canals, and LSH3 (and thanks to a mod GWX) lets me have the locks on the canals and harbors that had them in real life. SH4 and SH5 won't do that. As I said, it's all personal reasons and I won't criticize anyone for preferring a different style.

That's good information, the thought of traveling in and out of the harbor and canal is very appealing. I'm now using SH5 the Wolves Of Steel Mega Mod and hopefully it will remain stable.

Having some fun with SH5. Using the WOS Mod and things are fairly stable.
Occasionally I am unable to use binos. No bid deal. Sometimes the Automation buttons do not work. (for Auto Position fix). Can't find the sextant . Not sure of key bindings. Can't access map edits or diary info after I reload a saved mission. Is SH3 more dependable with diary info, saving markups on map and/or using the sextant.

Well its been a year since my last effort to get SH running smoothly on my system. Last July I got SH5 up and running but was unable to use many of the features in game. I spent about 30 hours and installed the game (with mods) more than a dozen times. Not complaining, just describing that I made a moderate effort ... but was unsuccessful.
I'm considering trying again but want to reach out to the Subsim community for some frank input. My Objectives: Use SH as a navigation simulator without any auto targeting features. I'm more interested in charting a course and determining my position with a sextant than sinking a bunch of shipping. I would like to engage in warfare just a little bit but hope to determine range manually using the calibrations on the optics and developing firing solutions with pen and paper on my desktop. I liked the graphics of SH5 but would accept less eye candy if the game mechanics offered more serious realism. Questions: 1) Is SH5 with the WOS mods any more stable than they were a year ago? 2) For the most realistic navigation and range calculations would anyone like to suggest SH4 vs SH5? And explain why as it relates to realistic navigation and calculating range using the scope graduation marks? Thanks in advance.

SH5 with TWOS is very stable, I have not had a crash yet. you can auto nav, auto shoot, or real nav and manual target, if you wish the nav map can be blank, no subs, no targets , its up to you. VDR has done a great job of making it play nice together. read the faq and have at it. there is a workaround for the steam issue, which I had to use no problems with that either

Thanks for the response mkii,
I'm glad that SH5 with TWOS is working well for you. Did you load it up recently? I'm wondering if it has become more stable since July 2016.
