Why is there so much pluging going on for SHIII here?

LOL, I doubt it.

There's too many new developments happening in SH3 for it to quietly disappear under the waves.

Don't get me wrong, if there was a 'no starforce' version of SH3 available I'd certainly install it. I'm a Silent Hunter 3 fan, but it looks old and tired in comparison to SH4 patched to 1.3 and modded to taste. Patch 1.4 is going to be awesome by all accounts.

Without linking to Ubi forums, do you have an idea of what it's going to contain?

I'm currently hooked on SH4, prefer the PTO, but I wouldn't count SH3 out yet. On balance, and when fully pimped out with GWX and such, it's not all that far below SH4 in terms of graphic quality.

The answer to your patch 1.4 inquiry should be supplied by Ubisoft very soon now. I can't comment further. As for SH3, I agree with you but I think patch 1.4 will push SH4 beyond the reach of SH3.

I still prefer apples.

How about a Christmas DVD boxed set of SH3 with no SF and SH4 patched to 1.4? Now wouldn't that be nice!

You seem to be in the know about the 1.4 patch, TDK1044. I know you say you can't comment further, but maybe you could give a ballpark figure on a release date or announcement. Will it be a few days, weeks or what? I'm dying to know.

I have to say that as much as I like the graphical environment of SHIV it still doesn't have SHIII's appeal.

In SHIV I TC across to Japan, scout about, sink some ships and TC back to base. I do this because i find the theatre dull and just want to sink ships.

In SHIII I sail out of my base knowing that i'm gonna have a hell of a patrol against a more than capable adversary and that I have to really work hard to achieve tonnage. The tension and emmersion of SHIII just blows SHIV out of the water in my view and no SHIV patch will change my oppinion on this.

That said, this is only my view and i'm an Atlantic Theatre fan with little interest in the Pacific Theatre. I would happily play SHIV all the time once the Atlantic Sharks have adpated it to the Atlantic Theatre.

Agree with the SF issue.

However, I have to diagree with your opinion of SH3 looking tired & old. However, you have not seen what I have.

Don't be so sure friend....I think quite a few, if not all, will be pleasently surprised. Have you ever heard the saying, 'The world is your ocean?'

I'm very sure.

True, I have not seen the 1.4 patch for SH4 but you have not seen the latest work from GWX either.

There is no way that SH3 will be forgotten so soon.

EDIT - Quote is not representive as you added while I was posting.

Regardless of varying opinions on SH3\4, this place, SUBSIM, is better off for having great sims for folks to experience. What folks choose to play is their choice in

Reading between the lines here gives me a rather large impression that maybe the two sims could be merged in patch 1.4?

But then again, that's a rather large impression...
