SH3 1.4b, no mods.

This is for use with public multi-player games, thus ensuring simplicity, maximum compatibility and fast load-up times. I've tried RUB, UBA, GW and GWX which are all stunningly fantastic for single-player work, but my main focus is multi-player these days. Stock 1.4b gives us all we need.

Maybe after 1.3 is released (will there be one?) I'll try again. But until them I'm not that keen.

So I'm currently running GWX 1.03 (and a half ) with the following mods...

GWX - 16km Atmosphere
GWX - Captain America's Officer Icons
GWX - Integrated Orders
GWX - Lite Harbor Traffic
GWX - No Medals on Crew
GWX - Reduced Positive Buoyancy
GWX-Tails grey_Colored WarShip
Dornier Do-24
Longer Wakes v1.0 for GWX
My Sub Emblem
Sobers 3D waves
Torpedo damage Final

plus, surprisingly, SH3Cmdr.
where i can get dornier Do-24?

I have three seperate installs of SH3 with various super mods and additions that is plenty to keep me out of the casinos!

I have two copies of SH4 sitting in the closet. I will probably wait another 2-3 months to see what direction the dev team is going to take on supporting their "premature baby"! No hurries!

I went out and purchased SHIV, but I can't say that I'm very impressed with it yet. Far too buggy and it just doesn't have the atmosphere that GWX has achieved.

So, I spend most of my free time (not that much ) in SH3 with GWX 1.03, launched from SH3 Commander v2.7.

Once the modders figure out SHIV better and take advantage of the amazing graphics, etc that the SHIV graphical engine offers, then I will probably switch on over. For now, I'll remain a kaleun!

I play SH3 only with GWX and SH3 Commander. The Battle of the Atlantic interests me much, much more than the Pacific war, so for the moment, I don't own SH4 or plan to own it for the forseeable future.

If someone made a ww2 subsim with playable British subs however.....

Cheers,

Dan

SHIII for me with GWX 1.03 + SH3CMDR mods installed. I bought the Collectors Edition/Deluxe Edition of SHIV and was sorely disappointed with what I'll loosely term 'the crap' that was chucked inside and bored to tears after just a single patrol in game. It just doesn't do it for me to be honest. In many ways it was a step back from what we got with SHIII, no radio room, no Captains bunk etc. Sure, it's pretty to look at but...big deal! Immersion>Eye Candy any day of the week and while SHIV may have more of the right stuff one day, SHIII+GWX has it in bucketloads right here, right now.

P.S Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

SH3+GWX1.03
Torp damage final
3D waves
8K stay awake mod
Krillers sun
Venatore's map mod
Numerous skins
Did have longer wakes mod but it won't work properly(1 in 8 when it wants)and it disables my torp damage Far to much to see and do in the atlantic with GWX to bother with SHIV,and by the sounds of it I'm not missing much either

This poll is inheiratnly biased. If one played SH4, they are not a "kaleun", nor do they report to BDU. So allow me to introduce myself as the one and only (at the time of this posting, "Sh4 only" vote. My primarly reason for that, is im just waaayyyyyyyy.. waaayyy..waaayyyy burnt out on Sh3. So for a person in my case, the choice of which game, isnt much of a choice, and theres only one place to go, Silent Hunter 4.


Speaking of which, without going into too many details, it has far far more potential then Sh3. It is a diamond in the rough, and it will take it awhile to get it to where Sh3 is now.. at its zenith. It took Sh3 roughly 2 (or is that 3?) years to get to its current state. So i have no illusions about Sh4. As to which mod i use? HA! Err.. well.. my own (link in sig as always). Alot has been accomplished to improve SH4, and it is undeniably much better now, and its getting "there", but theres still much to be done.

Wrong see Ducimus' post below... I got SHIV and tried it, my machine can't run it it was painful in fact but I too think it has some stuff which will surpass SH3, crew managment and (once the glitches are out) damage ... among others. Still am enjoying SH3 with GWX for now.
