No, but I'm looking forward to having a full U Boat Atlantic campaign in SH4.

Sure, I still play SHIII (GWX and Commander). But, I'd still play 688 and Fleet Command and Fighting Steel if I could get them to run on my current winbox machine

Often, the older a game gets, the better it feels to play it (I still fire up Janes WWII fighters sometimes too, since it does run under Vista - and would run Janes USAF if it only would - best combat flight sim ever, IMO).

i still need my german fix. so sh3 gets fired up as well as sh4. i've got to admit it jsut feels ODD being an american sub. german is fine, hell i'd even go japanese (midget subs ftw) but allied? it just feels wrong.

No, but not because it looks old... just waiting for GWX 1.04.

...and not playing SH4 because waiting for patch 1.4..

No sub action at all at the moment and just World in Conflict to pass the time which I think's very overated. A five year old could play it and win... point click kill, point click kill, point click... kill.

Oh yeah. Of course, even back in the 90s I used to bounce between AOD and SH1.

yes is still play sh3 on occasion, but the pacific is much more up my alley... i find i must be one of the lucky few, since ive had very very few problems with sh4... i can count on one hand the number of CTDs i've had since the game launched. ( most of which were actually my fault), but to each their own..

Hmm it's no longer broken and we have a lot of great addons for SH4 too.

Nope. Not playing SHIV right now for that matter, haven't played it in a couple months. If 1.4 arrives soon that might change things.

I've put it on hold untill GWX 2.0 comes out (Soon!) and then I'll get back into it. I've been reading the manual and it looks good!
