Just when the game start to be boring in an patrol.....and I,m about to press ESC and quit....my lovely Sonar guy Yells at me there is an ship nearby

I,m on an patrol now till south america and there is a lot of tankers.
I,m on 3/4 way to my grid and already sunk
2 T2 tankers
1 T3 tanker
1 Liberty Cargo

and that just keeps me up playing...and also the heavy weather Ow I love to be on the bridge and see my Sub bouncing on the waves. and also It hides me from beeing detected to quikly

So does SH3 starts to bore me?
Harrrrrrrrrr No!

So you say that SH4 should also be the same? SHouldnt they add extra features to SH4? Then what would you like them to do in SH4?

Seminole · 06-21-06, 08:17 AM

The game I find to be boring and unstable. Wonderful graphics, even voice control, but I don't want to spend hours looking at trees and buildings as I drive my boat to get to a patrol area where nothing is likely to happen anyway. Start the missions in the patrol areas
I know it is realistic, I was a diesel boat submariner for years, but I can be bored in life without paying for it. What I would like from my game is some interest, even excitement. If you want hard cold realism join the Navy and let me have my vicarious pleasure. I still play SH1 thanks to the instructions on how to run it on XP.

Sounds like this has received a full salvo!

I find sad people who are supposedly bored with this game, yet hang around on the forums.

If you're bored with SH3 and you're here...you're a saddo and should get a life. No 2 ways about it.

He's right though. Why continue to post on a forum about a game that you're bored with? It's like me getting fed up with coloured pencils yet still posting on we_love_coloured_pencils.com.

SH3 Great game, great mods, great graphics etc!!!

It seems most of the gripes about the game are from folks who are critical of the speed factor, i.e. the time it takes to get anywhere or do anything. Maybe these guys should not be playing a sub game but should be into first person shooters or flight sims. Subs dont travel very fast and the whole undersea war is about stealth, deduction and tactics, with a few big bangs from time to time.

SH3 is a great game, one of the finest availble, I'm not sure of many other games with such a dedicated and creative band of modders and players still hard at it well over a year after its release. Go the modders!!

Having said that I wonder at all the fuss re the Pacific version or SH4. I really am curious as to why any one would bother with a sub sim in this theatre. A suface ship sim for this theatre of the war, based on the kind of graphics quality of SH3 would be fantaqstic, but a sub sim, why bother?

OK some people might get a thrill shooting up some Japanese or Chinese junks, or taking pot shots at the Yamamoto once in a while. The simple fact is that for the latter part of the war most of the sub action in the Pacific was picking up downed airmen and infiltrating coast watchers behind enemy lines.

I'm simply not convineced the SH4 will have much of the holding power of SH3. This is not a rant against the US Navy or the skills of its submariners, they did score some successes and there is some history there. It's what the US Navy and its Allies did with their surface forces that actually count for something, their subs were really a side show unlike the Atlantic where the UBoat war had such devastating potential.

Hope I didnt offend any one, probably did, oh well.............

Consider this; two years ago when we were still waiting for SHIII and playing SHII, someonestarted a thread titled "Why SHI Is Still King". There are still a lot of people playing that 10-year-old sim, and a dedicated group of gamers who still play Pacific Thunder, which is a WAW-type online campaign using SHI.

There are a huge number of Americans who grew up watching movies like Run Silent, Run Deep and still love to recreate that feeling, plus quite a few others who just want the variety.

Bet it sells as well or better than SHIII.

Have you ever play Silent Hunter 1 or the Pacific Aces mod for Silent Hunter 2. If you have you would be drooling like the rest of us patiently waiting for SH4 as taking command of a US sub totally

Although in my opinon the german uboats were the true seawolves, the american submariners had it much easier in the pacific going up against an enemy that really wasn't good at sinking subs compared to the british in the atlantic. But i can't actually recall im sure it was from the interview of a US sub commander in the Silent Hunter 1 game - he was asked did he ever come across german uboats when on patrol, he noted if we ever spotted a uboat we would try to avoid them. Dont know what this actually means but i see it as they didn't want to get in a conflict with a Uboat.:hmm:

You need to read some history, Japan's merchant marine was devasted by the US subs, once the torpedoes were fixed, thus neutralising a major reason why Japan went to war. To get the resources of S.E.Asia.

Playing the game and forumming are two different things. It's not unusual to find people who don't play the game anymore still participating in the forums. They still like to talk about the game and OMG they may actually like the people in the forums too.

Also you won't find too many rabid fan boys here, who will flame you and otherwise threaten your life since you've insulted their precious game. They'll forgive you for insulting their wives, girlfriends and/or mothers but they won't stand for insults directed at "their" games. The maturity and sensibility that's commonplace around here is one big reason I like to post here. We don't expect everyone to like the game and it doesn't spoil our enjoyment of it one bit. You're still welcome here as are your opinions.
