How is SH5?

Slammer597 · 02-04-17, 02:58 PM

Hi fellow Captains

I don't want to start a big debate here but I must ask the question.
I bought SH5 when it first came out and there were problems and
the posts I had read were bad mouthing the game so I decided to stay
with my favorite SH3. Now that I am back reading the forums after a long absence it looks like SH5 maybe worth booting up again. Should I start
with the basic game or immediately slap on a mod or two? Thanks!

Do not play the stock game as it is broken and you will just end up frustrated with it.
TWOS is 99.99% stable and can be played with or without manual targeting and real navigation.

TWoS 1.6 in SH5 is like GWX 3.0 is in SH3. It can be somewhat tricky to install as there are several steps that must be followed exactly but, once installed, it is a dream to play.

My experience with WoS right now is of pure joy.
Its really not that hard to install.

Only problem I came across was I tried to install the game in a different folder and that caused me some trouble. But I reinstalled in C:\Ubisoft\... etc.. and its been working great!

i concur, i only have a 120gb SSD as my main OS drive but enough space for the odd game, my gaming HDD is 1tb where i install most of my games and it is where i installed sh5 with wolves of steel. had problems with this, even though i know i did it right. reinstalled onto my SSD as the game automatically suggests and the install of the mod is very easy providing you read the instructions to the letter! just as good as the grey wolves mod if not better!

Wolves of Steel 1.06 04h is very easy to install and very stable and gives you about everything you could want out of the SH5 experience, except more submarines.
