With all the new mods coming out all the time,there is something new to keep your attention for the game..

Then your in for a real treat when GWX2.1 is released

Yes I will be waiting like a little kid waiting for Christmas morning

That and Iambecomelife's merchant fleet add on, (I hope this is still in the works been waiting for an age) His ships are way ahead of anything you can imagine, with the GWX update and the merchant fleet mod you will esentially have a new game!

Does GWX 2.1 include iambecomelife's ships mod?

Hey!

I have been interested ww2 for a pretty long time, and played IL2 and ww2 fps games alot. But somehow I hardly knew anything about the uboat warfare in ww2 when I bought Destroyer Command, mostly because I liked the look of warships and loved the thought of blasting ships to pieces on the open seas!

But when I had been playing DC for a while I started to get pissed on these german underwater vessels that kept sinking my merchants and was impossible to find and sink when they laid deep in the atlantic water.I had no clue what they were and how they worked!!?

So one day I stumbled over a game where you could actually take command over one of these mysterious, tubes of steel sneaking around under the water(SH3)!
And who would have known, here I am playing SH3, sneaking at convoys and loving the highly realistic simulator!
I'm 23.

So get get to the point, I think one of the reasons people might be joining these forums could be the recent release of games like Battlestations Midway, and other games like that, which somehow looks like it promises more "action" to the buyer. And then they see subs in the game and find them interesting and: "Insert the story of how I began playing SH3 here".

Just a thought.

What a TOTAL WASTE of money that was - Battle Stations Midway. Total interest in that game lasted about 36 hours and it got uninstalled. Said to self - WTF was that about?

Another tied for 1st place as a money waster - Shells of Fury. Loved the game, but with no ability to save a game, it got marked for the recycle bin as another $20 down-the-tubes.

I live in both worlds - SH3 & SH4.
Tower PC is a brand new Quad-Core, 3 gig RAM, etc. Vista based. Never had a problem with SH4, graphics still amaze me. The enviroment is home based.

Laptop is Vista based, Dual Core, 2 gig RAM, has a girly or weenie graphics card. It has SH3 w/GWX 2.0. GWX graphics AMAZE me with SH3. Laptop/GWX 2.0 time is mainly in use at my get-away place in a rural area on a lake front property. Find it VERY relaxing to be sitting on the porch looking at the lake, meanwhile my laptop is on my picnic table with an intense attack going on in GWX 2.0 as the sun sets.

I try to give both games [Sh 3 & 4] equal time and enjoyment. I also try not to crazy with the MODs. By doing that, I find it keeps both games very stable. i.e. crash free.

I have been playing Silent Hunter since the first game when we would go on the CompuServe forums with the head designer (Carl?) and point out bugs and such. I think I emailed out the first patch to a bunch of folks who couldn't get it. Of course my first subsim was Aces of the Deep. Still have the manual and maps. Loved it.

SH2 was a deep disappointment. Canned missions?

SH3 looked great, but was unplayable on my older system so I shelved it.

I bought SH4 a few months ago when the price dropped down to 19.99 from 49.99 when it first came out and loved the game . . . still do!

I recently rediscovered my SH3 game and thought what the hey and installed it a few days ago. Love it. The patch cleared up the graphical sky glitch I was getting. As soon as I found out how to download GWX 2.0, I am sure I will love it even it more. While there seems more mouse clicking going to get what you want, I am sorry I missed it the first time around.

My favorites are still Aces of the Deep and Silent Hunter, however. SH had a nice clean interface.

In any event, I would imagine the recent price drop on SH4 might be a reason we are seeing more folks on the boards.

Yes, because as we know, the whole world sleeps at the same time.

Ummm. Sun setting beyond the lake and listening to the sweet murmur of distant screws approaching on the primrose path of doom.

What a way to relax!

I have never played the game. But I think this is the exact reason why people like to buy the game, because it is arcadish! And as I said in my earlier post, perhaps get an interest in submarines and want a pure sub simulator!? You got to start somewhere. May it be Pacific Storm, Battlestations Midway or Destroyer Command....
People like arcadish games, me to from time to time.....

Hi mom

Jimbuna · 04-12-08, 03:00 PM

Welcome aboard JackhammerJohn......It's an exciting period at the moment in sub simming terms with both SH3 and SH4 still going strong

Yorktown_Class · 04-12-08, 03:54 PM

Ive been looking for some new games or sims,but there just isn't anything out there I am interested in..
I thought about ship simulator,but that to seems arcadish to me,maybe this too is why others have flocked to the SH series so much.
The modders is what keeps me coming back,always something new to try.
