New to WWII subsims

Flynn · 06-05-09, 08:50 PM

So I used to play Janes 688(i), and then Sub Command and of course had to buy DW although I never played it. Always been modern subsims. Even tried the virtual fleets for awhile and had a lot of fun. Now I'm thinking of subsimming again but considering the WWII era sims. Any suggestions? Judging by the posts it looks like SHIII is still going strong.

G'day Flynn,

Welcome to the SHIII world.

Welcome Mate!

Yes,
SH3 is still going strong and getting better everyday.

There are a great many mods out there and more
released nearly everyday!

If you want an awesome WWII experience get SHIII and install GWX 3. I also recommend SHIV with the UBM add-on so you can run TMO 1.7. With these two sims set up like that you'll be hunting merchies forever!

It is also a great way to truly see the differences between the U-Boats and fleetboats.

Thanks for the welcome. Thats good to hear because I can get SHIII cheap. I would not have thought five years later it would still be going strong. My taste in games seems to be turning towards the WWII era whether it be flightsims FPS or subsmarine.

Are there any online communities that coop or head to head this sim?

I just bought a brand new copy of SH III for six dollars US plus shipping. Hard to beat that. I have a buddy i used to play 688 with who is interested as well...will it work on 64 bit vista?

Welcome aboard Kaleun Flynn. SH3 is a great game and most questions can be answered here on subsim.

I also used to play 688(i), until I lent to a friend who never returned it.
