Im along those lines as well. My PTO book collection is not as large as my ATO collection, but im working on it

I'm not having a good time playing as Americans.

The only reason I play SH4 and not SH3 currently is because there are warships instead of boring merchants in it.

I think it's still better than SH4 (except for graphics). Ihope for patch 1.4...

Peto · 11-05-07, 02:48 PM

I've been reading WWII sub history since I was about 10. (That's almost 40 years

). Having had the opportunity to speak with many subvets (all American) has been awesome and filled in many of the gaps. The best stories aren't always about things that happened at sea :rotfl: !

@ SteamWake: I've found that in SH4--as long as I'm carefull--I can survive. It's usually a plane that gets me and that's because I got careless and didn't dive for the day like I should have. It doesn't hurt that I've been playing subsims since Gato came out for the C64. Subsims and love=Experience Counts

.

Cheers!

no, b/c of Patch issues and Vista.

captiandon · 11-05-07, 04:53 PM

I have never played SH3 It may look alittle old to me anyway. That and I am an American. Have to play as American. I am glad that they did the PTO

Argus00 · 11-05-07, 05:33 PM

I had SH3 installed when I installed my copy of SH4. It's still installed, but I forgot all about it since I started playing SH4.

Captain Vlad · 11-05-07, 05:41 PM

I don't play SH3 right now. I was playing it up until I had SH IV patched up to 1.3, then removed it from the hard drive, just to conserve space. My girlfriend's music collection is rather massive.

I have a ball on SH 3, but I've had to play the Germans for years, and really wanted back into a virtual fleet boat. It might have more to do with the ocean than the nation or submarines...always wanted to take my Type IX to India playing SH 3.

So, despite me being a bit irked that the add-on is featuring the Kriegsmarine in the USN's game, I may get it, in case I need a U-Boat fix without reinstalling SH3. The reasons I don't play SH 3 right now, have nothing to do with it's appearance. To me, it's still a very pretty game.

stabiz · 11-05-07, 06:29 PM

No, I want to, but the graphics just look to old now. Bring on the U-boat addon!

Oh, and my second SH3 disc is destroyed as well, found that out when I was going to reinstall and make a vid for JCWolf. "No disk in drive" my backside.

I think SH3 is the only game I have purchased more than once.

LeafsFan · 11-05-07, 07:52 PM

Yep,

Several reasons.

1. I don't have the hardware to play SH4 at max graphics level.

2. I am waiting for the patch and perhaps the add-on.

3. I'd kind of like to wait for an supermod like GWX, and perhaps an SH4 Cmdr.

I played sh3 from day one until done (year or so), I never went back for the latest major mods.

Playing Sh4 from day 1 in mild campaign modes because I find myself always waiting for this mod or that mod to be finished. Or the next patch.

Angus89 · 11-05-07, 08:23 PM

I dont play SH3 right now cuz my hard drive is full with sh4 and other stuff. Donations for a bigger one? I do miss it. But with the add on coming for sh4, i think ill stick with it and the momds

kiwi_2005 · 11-06-07, 10:07 AM

up till about a month ago i stopped sh3 packed it away gave it a quick salute and placed on my shelf. Will stick to SH4 now that the addon with uboats is coming out.

Cap'n Spanky · 11-06-07, 12:00 PM

There are some excellent Mods out for SH3... tons of new SHIV to SHIII ports and GUI inhancements, not to mention GWX, which is about to be upgraded to 1.04. SHIII still offers a great challange plus eye candy. If you haven't modded or played it lately, give it a shot.

STEED · 11-06-07, 01:27 PM

I will never stop playing SH3/GWX it's

and

at the same time.

I play more SH3 than SH4 on the grounds it's more of a challenge.
