Your final SH3 career game

Ducimus · 03-03-07, 02:36 PM

With SH4 not far away, some of us are probably going to drop SH3 like a lead brick, but after months of playing, i can't help but feel the need for a final ride on this ole plowhorse called SH3, but the questions... what?

edit:

Im stuck between 1 and 2. I've always wanted to do a realistc career with U505, but ive its basically the same gameplay ive always done. so 2 is appealing. I'd be amiss to not play the type21 at all, and havent touched it in well over a year now.

I'll be playing SH4 in the blue Pacific too...but I have every confidence I'll be re-visiting the grey Atlantic at times. I find no WW2 naval theater uninteresting for long.

Just hope they don't come up with a Japanese midget sub sim. Underwater kamikaze doesn't appeal very much.

FOR the Fuher and for the fatherland!!!! 1 last campaing on full realism and full accuracy in a type viic in the atlantic (im more if a ixb fan) but ever since das boot deep down inside i have a love for the viic, a major reason cuz of its cool sleek looks)

SH3 and SH4

keep em coming ubi

I will always play Sh3, U-boats have a feeling that no way the pacif theatre has.

bigboywooly · 03-03-07, 03:27 PM

Yep SHIII still here too
PTO interests me none

ahh i disagree, although i like the Uboats. Yet i think SHIV is going to be a winner - more things to do in patrols, like rescue down pilots, taking scope shots of ports ,<-- im guessing on that last statement., Pacific Aces mod for SHII was a blast from the past and really prolonged the game back then just like what GW is doing now for SH3.

Out in the pacific in a Gato is going to be a good change.

Nor will i delete SH3 she'll still be on my hdd just in case i need an atlantic fix.

For me it will porbably be GWX for a long time in the future. I am interested in the Pacific theater (not as much as in the Atlantic though) but I will not pay good money to buy a half-made game by Ubisoft again. Also i am not willing to upgrade my computer just to play a game. Hopefully at some point in the future when SH4 is heavily moded and bug free I might get tempted, but until that day is GWX all the way for me.

I went for nr 4. Have little interest in submarine operations in the PTO (I spent a lot more time with Carriers at War and Uncommon Valor there) and anyway it would mean PC upgrade or new machine which is not planned for now.
Also would hardly find time for another game these days (besides SH3 which I wouldn't stop anyway, still messing around with Combat Mission Pbems, online Falcon 4 AF and IL2 flights, and playing again Operation Flashpoint with last FFUR2007/SLX mod...)

I totally agree, plus GWX will keep this game alive

If there is going to be a comprehensive source code development kit released would it be a crazy idea that someone would make the Atlantic war in the SH4 game system?

Sockeye · 03-03-07, 10:34 PM

I have no doubt that I'll still play SH3 again after numero quatro comes out, but with SH4 I'm hoping to recapture some of the moments I had back with the original Silent Hunter. The Pacific Theatre has always held more of my attention... probably because the sunny South Pacific has always sounded alot better than the dreary North Atlantic to me

But there is one thing I hope will draw me from the Atlantic first and foremost:

A feckin' PPI scope!
