SH3 w/Grey Wolves vs. SH4??

Dave Hansen · 03-30-07, 02:01 PM

I played SH3 for a while when it first came out. Buggy, etc. and lost interest.

Recently have lurked on the SH3 boards and became quite interested in the Grey Wolves Mod due to the accolades from the community for realism and extensive mods to the original game.

Have held off until I viewed how SH4 would do the first month into its release.

If graphics and eye candy are not big priorities for me, would I be better served going with SH3 and GW for realism, bug free, challenging experience? Or is SH4 going to be a better sim say another 2 months down the road? Is the dynamic campaign in SH4 a big step forward vs. SH3?

Thanks

SHIII + GWX is the way to go at this point. In a few months or a year SHIV will be the better of the two.

You need to get GWX 1.03 the Grey Wolves Expansion

, do not wait any longer.
A great, great Super-mod

Someone can comment on SH4.

SH3 with GWX slipped into the program files is an out of body experience.

If you are looking for an immersive sub sim experience, SH3 with GWX is the way to go... The only other sim (although a flight one) which gave me such an immersion was Janes/EA F-15.

SH4 eventually will be an awesome sim, with the continued support of the dev team and the modders community.

I agree, SHIII & GWX is the way to go for the time being. I only just started playing with GWX and I can say its a 200% improvement on the stock SHIII, the new sounds (especially the crash dive one! ALLLAARRRRMMM!!!!) are awesome. Overall the immersion is way better than SHIV, the crew seem to be a bit zombie like in it theres no real connection apart from the fact they are there in front of you!

You do realize of coarse, that the ALLLARRRRRRMMMMM!!!! sound effect, as well as the background crew noises are from "Das Boote". A must see film, if you haven't done so already!

Having played both, and just got into GWX, I have to say there is NO comparison..

Will SH4 be as good? In all reality all everyone does is "hope" but the truth is NO ONE will know for sure..

I hope so, I really do, but at this time stick with GWX until more patches come out
