Cor!!...a blast from the past

The most important reason I now prefer SH4 than SH3 is because in this game I feel like participating in the war effort and not just wandering in the ATLANTIC with BdU not sending me to the areas were something is going on, even if this is a landing, or a convoy path or whatever, expecting my pre-knowledge of what is going to happen in order to see some action!

This has made me to disregard the game's bugs/weaknesses, which I have to admit that they still exist of course!

SH3 My imortal beloved

SH4 My illegal beloved

You may find my webbie interesting to help you up the "steep" learning curve.

Gentlemen,
Thanks one & all for your suggestions; I will START w/ SH3 and see how that goes. If all of my missions start AND end like the end of Das Boot (sunk in port), I’ll solicit some help & read some more of the tutorial stuff that I’m finding on this site. To answer some of your questions, I am a complete noob to these subsims, so I can’t say that I favor U-boats over U.S. boats, or vice-versa yet. I’ll try to work my way through SH3 & then try the GWX mod. I remember playing some quasi-text/ASCI (?) SUBWAR game in college in 1979 & nearly flunking because I wasted so much time in the computer lab getting depth-charged. I have read a little on sub warfare and I enjoy sub movies so I’m not completely in the dark as to what this kind of game will entail.
