Silent hunter 3 vs Silent hunter 5

08-10-11, 04:51 PM

Hello!

I hate the silent hunter 5 as is came out the box. It can be the best sim simulator ever with hard modding. So far i still not satisfied, and keep modding it. As far i prefer the sh3 with all my mods

regards

WELCOME ABOARD!

We get a lot of people saying similar things about SH5, and a lot of people who love it. The argument has been going on for more than a year, and you might find that many here are tired of it. Don't let that concern you, but don't be surprised if you take some heat either.

When you say "modding" the game, do mean you create mods or just add other's mods to your game?

Their almost two different sims. What they have in common is Uboats and WWII.

I think you'll find a lot of people agree with you. Until SH5 drops the DRM and attains an acceptable mod level, SH3 will keep on getting most of the traffic.

Sorry Fish but, not even close. Alot of have went over to SH5.

This is not to say SH3 has been abandoned by modders.

Just that the numbers have dropped.

Oh well, two different people two different perceptions. But the last time I checked the SH3 forums were still getting more traffic than the fives.

Have to say I Play GWXGold, I have both installed, sh5 GWXSH3 and I have to say GWX is by far must better, no bugs no crashes and I am running a dual core 2.66 2.66 and ultimate 7 with 8 gigs of ram and a 1 ig Vid card so it isnt my hardware with sh5.

And I so notice More traffic here than in the SH5 Forums, Insofar as NUKE subsims hands Down i go with SubCommand. i love the seawolf. Cant want to see id Sonalyts make one with Just the subs and includes the SSBN, SSN, and the new SSGN Conversions.
With the the Ohio/Los Angeles/Seawolf/Virginia-Classes

If you use Dangerous Waters with the Reinforce Alert Supermod (DW + RA), you will have the playables SSBN, SSN, and all that stuff, including cold war subs and Virginia Class.

My hardware doesn't support SH5, and my internet wouldn't, either :P

VONHARRIS · 08-12-11, 12:58 AM

IIRC there isn't a type IX uboot in SH5.

So long live the SH3!

ijnfleetadmiral · 08-12-11, 01:16 PM

No Type IX? WTH were they thinking releasing it like that? I've thought about getting SH5 (mainly because I have every other version of Silent Hunter out there (save for the German mod for SH4), but I've heard so many bad things about it I'm leaning towards no.

Hopefully they'll reverse their decision and make a Silent Hunter 6...maybe go back to WWI or have a double game where you can choose between WWI or WWII.

Names Bond Brook Bond...Nice drop of tea.

No IX in SH5!

Now I need a strong cup of tea with extra sugar!

Wasn't Silent Hunter 5 with walking around in the base?

Just have seen a trailer of it but never played it. I prefer Silent Hunter 3.
If they make a 6th part of SH they should make a career from WW1 - WW2
