A dream could be put sh3 with the SH4 engine, but perhaps impossible or very difficult :hmm: GWXX ?? :rotfl:

Ubi, please release a software developers kit for SHIV!!!

Transparent water.

Vastly improved crew management, including rotating watch bills.

I won't knock the mods for SHIII, because they're all wonderful, but SH4 looks to be a lot more than just a 'supermod'.

I said it on another similar thread, and I'll say it again: I love WWII subs, period. I'll play SH4, but I won't retire SHIII until the next big u-boat sim comes along. I'll play them both side-by-side, and I'll be happier than all of ya!:p

I'll play both, that is if my old computer can handle SH4:hmm: Better start saving for an upgrade, I think!

As a student of pre atomic submersible warfare I love mission simming
in both campaigns and am quite likely to stay active in sh3 after a month
or two of breaking sh4.

I just love the whole subject and when your making a living history
why limit yourself to one theatre.

sh3 killer will be sh5

I've played SH3 to death. It's a good game, and although I've spent many an hour patrolling the virtual Atlantic and prefer this theatre to the Pacific, I'll be sticking with SH4. This has as much to do with the 4:3 aspect ratio and 1024x768 res limitation as anything else (yes, I'm aware of the d3d9.dll hack).

Just too many improvements over it's predecessor.

John|Blackthorne · 02-11-07, 04:36 PM

I'm still getting used to SH3 and haven;t actually played TGW so it will be a while before i'll buy and play SH4. I'm curious though as how much harder/easier it will be.

Permit me to echo those sentiments

Even after Ubisoft had:

a. Released any/all expansions for SH4 (obviously pure speculation on expansions)

b. Built an entirely new engine from the ground up for SH? (assuming the franchise continues)

I still think you'd have next to zero prospect of ever seeing a SDK released for SH4.

I'll be 'transfering' to SHIV. After nearly six years, I am kind of burnt out on the Atlantic.

I'm sorry but I think I have to politely disagree.
I would expect much more improvements than that for my 40 quid.

Kpt. Lehmann · 02-11-07, 05:42 PM

For those interested in U-boats and the Battle of the Atlantic... I think that Sh3 will be the place to be for several years to come.

There may be another U-boat sim in production somewhere right now... but it will have a MILLION miles to go to address things as comprehensively as SH3 plus the big mods... even if a hypothetical U-boat sim is under construction now and assuming it has one or two superior elements.

That being said... I look forward to SH4 as a distraction from all the work we've done modding SH3... but only as a "break" from SH3. In some ways, I'm still "just discovering" SH3. It will be my turn to enjoy SH3 soon enough.

Even though testing new stuff is always cool... it is no substitute for simply playing the game.

We have some final targets to hit with GWX before it is playtime.

Gatos are cool...

U-boats are cooler IMHO.

Disagreement is good. I just take exception to the idea that modded SH3 (so far) is better that what we're seeing from SH4 (so far).

It looks like a major overhaul to me, and I hope the same will be done to SH3 soon.

I agree! SH4 will be a big improvement over 3 from the looks of it! And if your paying £40 in Britain for Sh4 then they saw you coming because its £25 everywhere else.
